Smoked four flavored joints today think I'm going to puke
Only papers that were around, I didn't feel like driving and buyin some I was busy doing yardwork and just wanted to smoke. Yeah blueberry rolled in blueberry papers, no thanks never doing that again.

Anyway
What kinda papers you guys use? I use "Skunk Brand" Original 1"1/4. How about favorite/tastiest strain to smoke in a joint?

Shit, I cant stand flavored papers, the papers always are so thick almost like a receipt. Right now I really like Elements ultra thin rice papers, if you burn one by itself it barely leaves any ash behind.

I think my favorite strain in a joint is a toss-up between Bubba Kush, OG, or Chem Dawg. I love that fuely, lemony taste that just lasts all the way to the roach.
Not the best strains for getting stuff done though, besides demolishing everything in your fridge.

Fellow Growers,
Can I request some seed pictures? I am trying to get a good collection of seed images to show the different sizes, colors, and patterns.

You can post them here:

Mo, I saw this really cool chart the other day with a bunch of different strains all layed out nicely like those "avocados of hawaii" posters they have. I forgot where I saw it though! I'll try and find it and post it up.

I don't normally smoke joints, but when I do I use hemp papers.

best taste, blue widow grown organic. best over all high, blue Hawaiian. But a friend did hook me up with some chem dawg the other day that was the shit, really strong high

Yeah their is a reason they call it "Daywrecker".
I'm actually smoking on a half sour diesel half blueberry joint, I would love to cross these two..sour berries.

The sour diesel was grown by me and was mostly veganic, my base soil mix is veganic. I try not to use guano's and manure's but usually ended up feeding with them sometimes, and I use SS which is mostly poop...Like I said though im mostly veganic. I'm on my way to an all veganic grow. Besides EWC, you should check the "Soil Food Web Gardening with Compost Teas" thread in the organic section. This thread is about real horticulture and not high times grow scene hydro store propaganda.

Yo spliff, what color spectrum u using on the t5 for flower?

Great job on the mainline Braddah D!!!

Keep up the good work fellas, looking to be a great easter harvest for everyone. Alojahz

Yo wassup? it's a 4 bulb, I use a 2:2 ratio red/blue. I've been told ideal flowering ratio would be 3:1 red:blue and 1:3 red:blue for veg. I'm stoked to have something fresh for 4/20, even if it's not much. I've always been a quality over quanity guy...

I use to use Elements, but they always end up getting stuck together before I finish a pack. May I suggest "Skunk Brand" original to you, next time you buy papers. I have a feeling you would like those runs, similar to elements.

Hey Mo, thanks for making me more aware of the "human sludge" compost. The other day I decided to to some thorough research on my "organic" compost that I use for my veggies. Turns out this "organic" compost, which I thought was a local brand but I guess not contains "nitrohumus" which is in fact just human sludge, for those of you who don't know what human sludge it is waste,
it's human shit!
I can't believe they don't tell you on the bag "Warning: This bag contains shit"...http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Nitrohumus
Here's the compost I was using, that I ass-umed was local, just a heads up so no one in hawaii uses this stuff....

Nothing wrong with human poop...unless it is from city humans eating McDonalds or humans on Prozac... I just threw up a little in my mouth hehe

Yeah as if this vog wasn't making me feel woozy enough, thanks

 

[Sheckster]

Human feces is not good for marijuana...
I don't care if it's the healthiest vegan in Pahoa who is just eating lilikoi flowers...
All the bacteria and microorganisms that are in shit are near toxic for marijuana plants..
You would have to wipe them all out and replace them with beneficial microorganisms, which would then flourish in your shit.

No offense to Niu nursery but it seems like their potting soil is at least 20-30% volcanic rocks, which is a rip-off..
LOL rocks are in abundant supply here in Hawaii.. no need to add the rocks..
I wouldn't buy shit from them now

 

[SpliffAndMyLady]

I wouldn't buy shit from them now

LOL, literally. I never tried their potting soil, but I have added lava rocks and greensand for some aeration to my base soil mix for my mmj. Collected responsibly of course

 

[kaloconnection]

Hey Sheckster/Spliff/any other Big Island growers,
any of you guys ever use mushroom waste from the hamakua mushroom farm as a soil ammendment before? I hear its pretty cheap at $10 a tractor scoop.

edti: My yard has about 2inches of top soil and the rest is rock, I'm trying to find economical ways to get more soil on the ground so I can plant more food to eat.

Thought about trying bokashi composting and was wondering if the mushroom waste could also be inoculated with microbes to make bokashi bran. Stuff is way to expensive to buy in the store and I always enjoy a good DIY challenge.

Never tried... Surfdout can probably provide you with some guidance here
Mushrooms burn a ton of nitrogen so I would imagine that it would be depleted in the compost..

 

[Sheckster]

If you are going to add rock to your soil mixture for aeration purposes, it should be highly vesicular (full of gas bubbles=porosity) like pumice or scoria, which you probably did...
But with the Nui soil; these are solid 1/2" - 1" rocks.... the only thing that these could be good for is "anchoring" the roots... not helpful for what we need it for...

I know what you mean! I t has come to my attention that I too love that fuely ,lemony taste too. The majority of my spring grow is OG or Chem related:

Headwrecker ( Chem 91 X Sour Diesel)
Banana OG X OG
Chem OG X OG
Grape Stomper X Monarch(Grape Stomer X Chem 91)
Bandana(707Headband X Snowdawg) X SoCalDawg( ChemD X ChemD)
Ocean Beach OG X OG

pictured from current grow. Last short season of the winter/spring season are Mendo Queen X Paki Chitral Kush & Twisted Sister( OG Kush X Sour Diesel)

 

[kaloconnection]

That's whats up, Puna. I got spoiled on the OG/Chem stuff that was getting shipped in from Cali when I lived on Oahu. I'm kind of a hermit now on the Big Island, so I'm sort of "out of the loop" but a lot of my friends here are not familiar with those flavors, too much Widow and Diesel flooding the scene. They are great strains but I could probably be content smoking some OG/Chem crosses for the rest of my life and not get tired of it.

these are my plants from FL

wtf is with all the moths right now. I never seen so many at one time. My bug zapper been going crazy for the last few weeks. Every morning I get piles of dead moths under it.

I know purple don't mean shit as far potency, but damn that's a beautiful flower

That's why I have a bug zapper, defense from bud worms

I only grab the brittle layer on top that breaks when you step on it, works great and it's free.

I took a trip down to south point last week and grabbed a 5 gallon bucket full of greensand, layed it out on a tarp and hosed it down, then I let it sit outside for a period of time. Great for aeration also and slow K release, and introduces some indigenous life.

No store bought stuff can compare to your beneficial indigenous microorganisms. They're on the top of the food chain in your area. Did I mention free? I don't know how many people have access too shell fish, but they're a great source of CaCO3. Coconut h20 is one of the richest sources of Cytokinins which accelerates cell division. Aloe vera has two(plus a zillion more good things that you can't find in any bottle) very helpful compounds in it, saponins and salicylic acid. Not to mention all the enzymes.

This is just some of the great stuff I've been learning and am applying into my garden. Steering far, far away from hydro stores and stepping back into the world of horticulture. It's easy, I just made a worm farm last month for $30, now I am turning my vegetable scraps into 'black gold'. I harvested 10 lbs of fresh, homemade, quality ewc last month. Last week when I screened my castings out I got 15lbs!

One step closer, on my strive for 'organic greatness'...Got any aloe around? Try it, break a leaf off, filet and collect the aloe and mix @ 2 tablespoons/gal. Use this as a foilar spray within 20 minutes of filleting for best results, I can grnt you your plant will thank you for it with nice praying leafs facing upwards. Apply during early light cycle, or before lights are on or in the morning if applying outdo. This gives it time to dry off before dark cycle.

Was their any bubble made from this? I have a feeling it would look like grape kool-aid
