alright Pep, that is basically how my friend did his rows. he had two long (40 ft x 3 ft wide) beds and another shorter bed about 20ft. under a greenhouse top. he grew some mad plants in there bro, you are gonna have a monster in that bed come summer. i hope you found a non hermy strain bro, would be heartache to get it that big again and have to go thru that. good job bro, good luck on long season.

So just wondering which strains people have had luck growing outside on Oahu
Just about any strain brah....You live in the "Mecca" of cannabis cultivation, I've grown in Cali and in the Islands....Hawaii produces the finest cannabis on the planet regardless of where the genetics originated from. So feel free to plant whatever you want, time and experience will prove this to you.

I use to have chickens on Big Island. I had five Rhode Island Reds, and three local style chickens. The Reds laid lovely brown eggs daily. The other laid their white eggs. But if you're an egg person it's good. I enjoyed them around free ranging. They will clear your property of Centipedes in no time. Do they stink, only if you let them! Korean farmers here are using IMO's to help keep smell down to almost nothing in animal farms on Big Island.

Wassup Mohican, I'm thinking about getting some Black Malawi(Black Russian x Durban Poison) x Cherry Malawi) for this years season. I know some people are cringing hearing that, but I love Durban. Big fan of Malawi too.
Any tips on Malawi? I've read it's a light feeding strain, that likes lots of root room and some lower branch pruning. Mahalo~

Hey SAML,

I did get some burnt tips as she went in to flower. She lost all of her water leaves and just had cola leaves. She could have gone another month if she was growing in paradise :)

I am going to try a hempy grow indoors and see how long I can flower her. I had root issues with my indoor last year. I will veg less this time and just grow a small happy cola.


Cheers,
Mo

Quick question, when u guys germinate using water in cup method, is the cup exposed to light or placed in a dark area? Just wondering. Mahalos braddahs.

Aloha 808HI,

I place mine in a dark area, stable warm temps help too. When you put them in a cup with water your just hydrating the seeds and giving them a jump start by getting all their enzymes and hormones up and going. In no longer than 48 hours they should be put into soil or a moist paper towel(I use rapid rooters because they don't take up much room)to germinate.

Thanks man I'm giving indoor a try to, check out my journal if you get the chance.


Edit: Hey guys what do you think about ace potting soil?
 
So the random seeds I tried to germinate definitely died :oP I don't think they were good but it was worth a shot. So now to order or buy some seeds, but before I do some questions. Do all strains smell? I have my card so I'm not worried about breaking any laws but still I don't really want my neighbors to know that I am growing. When I looked online I saw some seeds that said no smell.

There are some genetics out there that are very limited as far as smell goes. I hear Northern Lights crosses carry this trait very often and so do some Haze crosses.

A friends NL/Haze smelled pretty much like Manoa Park, no signs of "bud smell" until you touch them/open up a bud. On the other hand, another pheno stunk to high ass heaven...:).

Good luck.

Dumb question alert, so after I place seeds in water, what happens if they don't split and show a all taproot? Dies that mean their no good, or do I still place them in rapid rooters. So far I have had super bad germ rates. Just wanna make sure I'm doing my part correct. Mahalos

Are any of them still floating? If they are, stir 'em with your finger and they will most likely sink (shouldn't they sink, they may need to sit a little longer...). How long have they been in the water? Spliff suggests leaving them in no longer than 48 hours, at which point you should throw them in a moist paper towel (where they will show taproot) or just throw 'em in the rooters. Good luck!

EDIT: If you have some source of heat, that would help. I leave my seeds on a corner of my cable box and it warms them up nicely...

808HI the good ones will show taproot in less than 48 hours. I got a lot of genetics to get through so if mine don't show tap then I throw them in my compost. That doesn't mean your seeds aren't good though, some seeds take up to 14 days to germinate, so don't give up hope. After you soaked your seeds, throw them in soil or rapid rooters. Or forget what I say totally and just do what is easiest for you. All I can offer is advice, it's up to you to listen to your plants. Gotta remember this is weed, just stick it in the dirt, water and let nature take course.
