Two Wappa plants from paradise seeds at about 40 days of flower. I think these is the smallest pot plants I've ever grown. I just planted 3 seeds and let them flower with no extra veg time. One of the plants just grew 3 inches tall with one thick bud about the size of a lemon. I cut that one. The more sativa looking plant is more fruity smelling with a back note of old skunk #1. The more indica looking is fruits, skunky, gassy dank. Pretty stinky stuff. Even being so small I can still smell it 20 feet away. 20200504_115933.jpg20200504_115924.jpg20200504_115940.jpg
 
What are you guys doing for drying? Do you have any suggestions? It's pretty wet and rainy and humid here generally (south kona side). One of my plants is just starting to flower so im just trying to look ahead and figure out what to do lol.

Air Conditioner and Dehumidifier. Keep your temps under 75f and your humidity around 60%rh.

great question. Im in the southern USA and it is likely similar climates. I was not sure if someone had a specific wy that works best of just keep it in a temp controlled room and suck out the moisture?

Puna Black Cherry
It took me 5+ years to get a cut from my neighbor. Then he gave me 100 seeds that were 10 ys old. Out of 23 females there were lots that were more a old school haze smell. My wife is going through them to pick the flavors.
She started as Golden Voice in 1988 Maui , grown in the sugar cane fields. There was cross pollination from other growers. It came to Puna in 1994.
In 2003 he added God Bud. I did a open pollination to preserve this one.

Hey EH,
The growers back in the 70s used sheets hung in the goat shed up near the tin roof to dry the Maui Wowie.

Glad to see you are keeping the old lines going!

I did the same thing when I got some old school Maui Wowie seeds. Only got one to pop and it was a male. Crossed it with everything. It mated well with my clones of REBAR. Popped those seeds and got a cross that looks like nothing I have ever grown before.

Blue Hula (Blula):

Smells just like the MW I had in 1975 in upcountry Maui. The stone is strong. I forgot how stoney MW was.

Cheers,
Mo

Awesome shots from the islands folks.

That truffle looks stellar as does the puna b cherry.

AC is not an absolute necessity but it does make a notice improvement when you can lower your temperature while drying. The hotter your dry room the quicker it will dry and will lose its smell faster, most likely taste hasher too.

Some one sent me Cherry Bomb that had been repoed but it was terrible.
You are the trash can king. I remember that one you had that was huge.
I have done some seed making just to keep the culv. One of my favored was the Jamaican . Was old shit from the Vibe guys.
Not something commercial but nice and upity.
It was sad to hear Wheezer passed.
I have done some up grades on the GH. Latters EH

That greenhouse is killa! :weed: :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

It is nice to hear somebody still loves the sativa strains.

Are you near the lava fields? That eruption was epic.

My daughter lives on Oahu and we were over there on the North Shore at a beach party when somebody broke out some pakalolo and said that it was Cookies. I smelled the buds and knew right away that it wasn't. Smoked it and it was meh. I remember when I would go to the Islands to sample the best cannabis in the world. Kona Gold, Maui Wowie, Kauai Electric...

I was lucky enough to go to the first several LA Cannabis cups and sample everything from the growers themselves. It was great to talk to the leaders in the industry and get a feel for where their heads are. I also got to sample every cup winner (and loser :eyesmoke:).

I have been around cannabis (good and bad) for 45 years. It is pretty easy for me to tell when people love this magic plant and when they are just greedy shits.

The Chinese farmers in upcountry Maui grew the best potatoes and onions. I wish I could have talked story with them back before they sold out and left. I wonder where they went?

Aloha,
Mo
