ok lanai it is :). What kind of plants should I use though? The plants I have right now are small (cilantro and some chilis). Any certain kine from walmart or anything? I have been trying to decide for 3 weeks where to put these plants. I am completely out of space in my box. 4 plants and 3 clones... I already topped about 3 times because they are too big. I need to hurry lol. thanks guys

i would say just about any potted plant that meets your height restriction will do. luckily, i have weeds that grow high enough (about 6 feet) to hide my shorter plants but they restrict air somewhat. look for plants that will stand taller than your MJ plants when you tie them down, that should be enough. always be cautious, and safe when fucking with the possibility of someone seeing your plants, so just keep that in mind. i am a paranoid fucker, and it has helped all these years, so be careful. aloha
 
Hey guys I have a question... I successfully cloned one of my plants and its going strong. I forgot which one I cloned (stoned moment cloning lol) so I cloned all 3 of my plants and labeled them this time. They havent started showing roots out of the rockwool yet, but one of my clones looks like it has roots/pistels out of where one of the nodes used to be... Exactly where I cut the side shoots off, it has what looks like roots growing up, but then again it kind of looks like pistels because they are turning red/orange. Its just one of my clones. Could it be roots and they are turning red because no water on them?

Hey everybody, it's time to get to work and I need some opinions on beans. Since our growing conditions are so different, I was wondering what strain you guys would recommend? I live on the east side of the island wheres its rainy and humid. Anyone got favorite strains for outdoor? I got some durban poison right now, it does great but I need to change things up :weed:
Alohaaa!

Black Rose got the case of nanners. I may try during summer again but chances are just another strain for the hermie trash can.

fuck that sucks bro, shes a beauty too!! i always hated it when i used to buy seeds from reputable breeders online and when i took them outdo, most couldn't handle it. even some of the clone onlys. our environment is too different from what those seeds were bred in. i have always been a proponent of acclimitization. that's kind of why i run crosses outdo mixed with some local strain. less chance of hermies, especially since i am the one who chose male and females to make seeds from. usually a couple of generations takes care of the hermy situation for me. hopefully you can still salvage some smoke off that one? aloha bro.

heres some from a friend's medi garden again.

nope. pistils bro :D hehe i forget how much i didn't know when i first started too bro :) anyway, you will get the hang of what is what and how long it takes to get roots the more you do it. rockwool is good, i use oasis cubes, but i always liked rockwool too, better medium, but more expensive for me lol. you should see roots anywhere between about 7-12 days for quick rooting strains and a little longer for longer rooting strains. don't keep it too damp (causes mould/fungus to destroy roots), but also don't let it dry out too much (roots become dried out and shrivel).

honestly, i haven't bought seeds from seedbanks in years, but if i were to buy again, and outdoor is my goal, then i would most certainly look into getting some nicely worked on sativa strains from Kaiki over at ACE seeds. i have heard nothing but positive words about Charlie Garcia and his strains. Also, Cannabiogen is suppossed to have some pretty good sativa stuff. that durban is suppossed to be kill though, i haven't tasted that liquorice astringent type strain since the last time i was in Cali :) it's always nice to have a change tho, good luck bro.

Why would there be pistils if its still on 18/6? Im confused yet happy lol.

ok bro, i may have been wrong. i kind of knew i was a little off when i posted the reply, but i just assumed you knew what a pistil looked like :). i do believe what you are seeing (and fuck me if i cant remember the name of that part) but that is just part of the node. it probably not a pistillate, but i am not sure as i can't see clearly enough of what it is in your pix. there are usually these little things that stick up from the node, which sometimes is a precursor to a plant showing hair of the node. this is usually in the earlier stage of vegging.

as to why there would be pistils in 18/6, it depends on how long your plants were vegging, most plants usually show their preflower sex by the time they start alternating nodes, or about 1- 1 & 1/2 months into veg, sativas even longer. sorry about the misinfo bro, but if you have had it in veg for a while, and hasn't shown male yet, then it is likely female. males almost always show sex quicker than females generally. aloha bro, hope that helps clear it up.
 
I put the clone I started a few weeks ago outside today, and ill be keeping an eye on the other 3 clones and put them out soon. All 3 original plants were started between 2/20-2/23 so about 1 & 1/2 months. No signs of males so that keeps my hopes up. Going to go to walmart today and look at some plants to put around to camo. I only have some chilis that are a few inches tall, and cilantro thats also a few inches tall, so I dug a little hole and put my mj about a foot down and crowded some plants around the hole. Still plenty of light for my mj, but it sticks out like a sore thumb lol.

edit*
Im thinking about making one of these, and covering the top part with a black mesh to hide the shape of the leaves.

I'm trying to geta couple more strains in my line up and agree with you on ordering seeds. Out of the 6 types I ordered I'm hoping to get 2 that don't hermie. So far Alpha Dawg and Superbomb are looking good and Emerald Jack is fine but I'm still 4weeks from cutting. So we will see. And I have a great line up of Trainwreck crosses that have no hermie.

possible leaf necrosis? maybe from overwatering? do you let your medium dry out in between waterings? i could be wrong but i just thought i would give it a try. looks like some nice smoke!

how's that cop getting busted for having his mmj on oahu? that was interesting. and he was doing indo. i hope he wasn't here :D i think he tried to hide behind the mmj, which i thought was nice, but still couldn't get away with it. if he was doing it indo, then he must have at least traveled to a few of these sites. i hope he doesn't open up, but then i am being paranoid again, time to go under again i think. aloha, a hui hou, malama pono and drive fast :D cheeeeeeeehuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
So i scrapped the pvc idea because those damn 3 way elbows are expensive and make the thing cost over 100$. I know thats not a lot, but I could build one cheaper with wood so I might try that. Yesterday I bought some sun shade cloth (75%) and put it over it to keep down the heat and hide the leaves from neighbors. What does everyone think about that? The backyard is just dirt so its lots of heat that is put right next to it so I thought some mesh cloth would help with the heat

They said they found 10-20 plants. WOW

Sounds good to me. Maybe plant some other plants just so it looks like your into gardening? I dunno, up to you :leaf:
 
Ok just wanted to make sure that much shade cloth wasnt going to hide the sun too much. So much sun here though ill melt if I sat there all day long lol. I actually am into gardening, just dont have that big of plants right now to cover my MJ lol

FYI- imo a better way to clone in rockwool is to chop it up into about 1/4" square cubes (you can also but it prechopped) and loosely set it into a netcup with your cutting. Water once or twice a day (damp but not too wet) and the roots find their way through it even faster. The rockwool eventually locks in with the roots and it works great...
