Hawaii Growers

Aloha bro... Welcome to RIU!!

thank you doctah
nice to see alot of people from hawaii
shootz

I was wondering what kind soil and ferts is good for up da mountain? One boar went dig up my double gum plant I think it was the fish emulsions that it was looking for. I think I'm gonna just use chemical ferts up da mountain . Plant was nice to just started hairing. Let me know mahaloz

They like fish emulsion , hey tunda try using dry organic ferts instead of chemicals

My other spot I didn't use any fish emulsions and it looks like something tried to dig that up too. All I used is black gold all purpose soil and didn't fert it at all. Maybe the boars were just curious with this one. Kinda worried I got like 5 killer strains even took a cutting off the other double him just incase anything happens. Next time I'm gona leave a dirty sweaty sock near my plants and piss around the area. What ferts do u use dr Gh? Your plants always look very healthy.

I use a magic mix that I get from a local gardener .. Good stuff

Try putting soap bars in the area near your plants, never tried it but I heard it works

I honestly go light on ferts... What I do is I look at the plants everyday and when I notice they start to seem like they are not really growing , I give fish emulsion , during veg, of course.. You can tell when they are growing cause the new growth is light green.. Within days of giving the fish emulsion, I can see the difference

Everything is doing good Aunty. Learning plenty about outdoor growing especially how impossible it is to keep an indica dominate in veg with our short hours of light. My indica dominates grow about a foot then start flowering, a couple sativas seem to be staying in veg i been feeding with fish emulsions. I also have more males than i was hoping for so im just gonna find the best of each strain and collect pollen for future breeding projects i like do, especially with some of the local strains.

Tunda, have you done any pollenating yet? Keep in mind pollen doesn't keep for very long time. How do you plan to pollenate your plants? Plus, keep an extra good eye on your males. Pollen from the boys can travel upwards to ther length of two football fields when the trades are blowing good!!

lets face it. Or at least for me, bags of soil smell real earthy. Some brands I really enjoy to smell! So if I feel this way, imagine how da pig feels? I had a few episodes last season with some hairy 200 pounders on my property. They dig with their snouts! I started spreading my Pitbull's shit in and around my plants, pigs stopped coming on my land!! So I suggest dog "doo doo" to fix your problem!

My one Mac blew up last week, so I can't show pics of pig radication efforts last season. All my addresses, pictures, etc.,etc.. are on that harddrive! I use my desktop for the majority of my computer work. Now I'm using myMacBook,and I don't dig keyboards on laptops(Even though Apple makes the best laptop/keyboards). I much preferdesktops. So I have to get my harddrive retrieved by an expert for I don't lose all that data...AND NO I DON'T BACKUP!!!!

dog shit is your solution!!!

Hehehe . Howzit puna

I think it's awesome that you offer up this info. It's typical for Big Island medical cannabis patients to put their number on the roofs of their homes so the
'steel birds" get a good view,and no need stop. Is that what you did too?

I'm a bit perplexed that not one Oahu resident thanked you for your observation < I guess everybody there is legal?

Puna I usually pick the sacs right before they open then dry them out for 2 weeks then store in a cool dry place should last some months . I have no flowering plants near plus I keep the males small from topping and only keep the best of each strain. I have a couple plants flowering up mouka that I plan to make some crosses. I'll just spray the plant with water except the branch I like pollinate and cover that branch with a small bag of pollen and then shake it a little . Should work

I'm assuming your fairly green as far as cannabis botany goes? May I suggest that whatever strain you use that you create two lines for breeding. Oh, before I forget. You can actually put your pollen in a freezer. Storing it this way, it should still be viable after one year and a half. That's not bad,right? Just seal it up good. Okay, back to breeding. What is your purpose? Are you trying to make seeds, or create a new strain? Do you have time on your hands? The reason I ask. If you really want to creating a simple hybrid is quite easy. Just take a male of any strain, and a female of any strain....BAM...then there you go. You'll then have keikis that will show traits of both mother & father. I mean some keikis will have mom's traits, and other keikis will show pop's traits. Now if you wanna make your new hybrid more stable, and be able to lockdown certain traits of both parents you'lll need time on your hands. I believe five years is the standard for this. But again making a simple hybrid is no problem.
Sorry gang, I'm rambling. Did the 'Wake & bake',morning today. I get carried away.

I've actually done this before a couple times. Not really tryng to make a stable strain just have a few I want to cross I know there will be many phenos I just plan on keeping the best. I'd like to have backup seeds to be safe ,not all will be crosses. Maybe one day I can have a decent collection of seeds.

if i seen that post earlier i would be trippin .but can someone post what these signs for helicopters look like
i like make a fake one haha

hey howzit lehua, i was wondering if that first pic of ur plant is in a plastic grow bag? I seen some at Koolau Farmers.

go ahead make a fake one, and really piss them off.
NED is who is in the copters and they control the registry, you wouldn't be fooling anyone.
if anything, that would make it even harder for legit guys like me, so don't.
