Hawaii Growers

hows it all my fellow hawaii growers :) I'm new to this site and to growing and was just looking for some advice. I live on Oahu and just planted about 10 seeds in a gulch near my home. Used black gold all purpose potting soil and mixed in the natural dirt of the gulch. I'm not sure on the strain, but they are supposed to be all feminized seeds. I left some water down there, but will be hiking out a 5 gallon water container in the next couple days and plan on going back everyday or as much as needed to water. I have some fox farm nutes and was planning on mixing it into the water after two or three weeks depending on the growth of the plants. I'm a little worried about the plants recieving enough sun light because the gulch is filled with large trees who block out a lot of the sun.. Any advice would be appreciated, but in particular I was curious about trimming or topping off your plants. I see a lot of small mentions to this process, but nothing in detail. Another question is allowing other plants such as california grass to grow up next to my girls going to be a bad idea? I need some cover to disguise, but i doubt anyone will hike into the gulch the way I have and I don't want the other pants to be eating up all my girls water and nutrients. Best of luck to all you Hawaii growers and I would appreciate any advice for a begginner.

Iʻm curious as to why you picked feminized seeds? More importantly, how far is your journey to your patch, and are you going there daily?

Seedlings outdoor you better watch them good cuz birds tend to eat them and even insects. Some people like to put them by their window until they are about a week or 2 old, I like putting them outdoor at 2 sets of leaves. Good luck

Welcome.. New grower here too, got me some BC Northern Light's germing as of the moment. About to germ some free mango that came with the seeds pretty soon. Wow, how long is that hike to your spot man? Sounds like a pretty long way, lol. You should have planted them when they were a little more mature. Place them in small pots under some CFL's for a bit before planting them. It's a pretty big risk planting them there, did you check the PH level's & such?

As for the topping & fimming, you can find it on RIU here.

Hope all goes well!

It's no longer than a 10 minute hike, but its all through an overrun valley of california grass and other large weeds taller than me. I didn't check the pH but i was under the understanding that black gold soil was the right pH and i used purified water so no chlorine or anything would affect the plants. I knew that I should have let them grow for a couple weeks in cups or with me, but I didn't have that option because there is no possibilities of growing them at my house. I'm gonna go indoor after this summer when I get my own place, but for now its all up to that great Hawaiian sun. Thanks for the article on topping off. Do you guys all reccomend the process or just let them grow naturally?

I picked femenized seeds so they can give me buds?? sorry if i'm coming off as a jerk, but i was under the impression that the females were the best because you get buds from them.

I think puna is old school and old school growers are not fans of feminized seeds :) I think he is more concerned about hermies or stabilty:)

I would recommend you try both methods if you have 2 plants and see what works :) I do know that sativas are better for topping than indicas.....but try and see what works for your strain :) aloha and goodluck! anymore questions and I'm sure the great people on this thread will answer :) beware of the main forum....it can be vicious sometimes..... a few jerks out there IMHO but for the most part, every one is cool.....goodluck!

a ten minute hike to your patch. Are you joking?!?!?!?! In no time at all youʻll have beaten a trail right to your beloved plants! In no time at all youʻll smash down all that buffalo grass you think that is hiding your future stash!

no brah, youʻre not coming off as a jerk! Everybody gotta start somewhere, and at sometime. For me, no novice is a jerk. May I suggest that you go out an purchase some ʻcannabis pornoʻ(High Times or Weed World, or Skunk). They offer countless tips for the "green grower". There are also countless books on subject. Plus the internet too is at your guide!

As for cannabis seeds "Stickybud808", Mother Nature gives us seeds at about a 65% to 45% ratio. Feminized seeds offer up 100% females as long as there are no issues. With one stress factor involved(say lights go out unexpectedly). Itʻs enough for these feminized seeds to go off into very bad place....."Hermie World":spew:
