Interesting read, Puna Bud. Glad I've given up on dutch genetics, even though i do have a fair amount of leftovers in my bean bag.

I'd just go ahead and toss them! I truly only see two places that you can trust their work across the ocean, and that's 'Mr. Nice', and the other is a Swiss company, damn forgot their name. But they use a lot of Tom Hill's genetics. Anyways , I've hated Sam the Skunkman for over 15 or more years for all his works with the DEA. Not to mention he just wants to corner the market. Of course, fuck all the High Times assholes too for their part in help keeping the industry down.

Anybody, as far as American companies are concerned who still works and operate outta Amsterdam. Are in this business solely to line their pockets! As far as the Cannabis CUP goes......FUCK THEM!!! If you feel the need to get hosed by High Times you can do it at home now. Hight Times has set up countless Cannabis Cups, and do you think it's to help the industry out? Hell no, we are stuck with so many of the fraudulent Cannabis CUP so the High Times people can reap the rewards of our hard work! Think of all the money HT make on just entrance fees to the Cups? I'm talking entrance fees for everyday people who want to check out the fraud. Did you know that if I wanted to enter the Cannabis CUP in say the Extract division. I would have to supply each judge with 20 grams of my Errl! Now doesn't that seem a bit excessive? LA, SF, Seattle, Denver,. Then throw in Amsterdam, and who know where else HT can figure they can rip off the industry too. No guys, if you ever wanna support and go to a CUP, go to the oldest CUP in America the Emerald CUP in Northern Cali. A good place to trade genetics too!
 
Growing up in Hawaii one can only dream of stuff like cups, dispensaries ect..Glad I got some american genetics from the west coast. Bright Moments from Gage Green Genetics.

hey what starter soil do u guys use? i was wondering because i am using 1/2 FFOF and 1/2 sunshine mix#4 i did this because the guys at the hydro store said the fox farms is too strong for starters and the mix#4 contains no nutes. so i was supposed to buy nutes too but never have nuff money at da time bongsmilie so which one would u guys go with? earth juice any good?PTDC0026.jpgPTDC0032.jpgplant is darkstar and i just planted 7 seeds str8 2 soil, that i got from my friend that he made with (jack herrer) X (3 finger hash x columbian) not stabilized yet but his came out pretty good

I tried Earth Juice and I didn't like it. The EJ grow formula smells horrendous and is super acidic...ph is around 3. You are supposed to bubble it for 12-18 hours before use, which will supposedly bring the PH back up but I never found that to be true. Too much hassle for a bottled product IMO, you are better off just brewing a compost tea from your own yard for free.

I use Roots Organic as my starter mix/soil base with my super soil. First year with super soil, and I must say it really brings out the flavors in your herbs and is super simple to use once you have everything mixed up and cooked. Just water with the hose and maybe some compost tea if you feel like giving those microbes a boost.

You might wanna check out kelp4less.com if you need any soil amendments or ferts. They ship free to all 50 states and have some of the harder to find stuff you cant get locally. None of that fancy pre-bottled hydro store stuff but they have pretty much all the ingredients that goes into them.
 
i think im gonna need some nutes asap or something because my plant looks kinda scrubish today. ill take pics as soon as i can and thanks for the info ill maybe try and grab some jiffy cuz i see that around kind of a lot. and im probly gonna go with fox farms or roots organic whichever ones cheaper:cuss:

Just moved back home. So, not familiar with what is available in stores here for horticulture. Have to grow indoors. Not and option for outdoor grow where I live.
I'm just using some cheap Nutes, Growers Secret- Grow Big 521 ( Hawaii local Co.) and Alaskan MorBloom 0 10 10 during flower. Soil - NIU ( augmented with some supplements.) Picked up @ Kmart..LOL
So far the Grow Big 521 is doing fine for Vegging stage.

Good to be Home

Aloha

There are tons of soil recipes all over. I use subcool's super soil mix in my final transplant before flowering outdoors, recipe is in the "subcool's old school organics" section of this forum. It is a little costly initially, but you save money in the long run by not having to use overpriced bottled stuff. But I also use homemade earthworm castings and compost, which saves money from having to buy it.
Tea is made from earthworm castings, compost, and molasses bubbled in buckets with a high powered pump for 24-36 hours.

Of course you can always forget everything i'm saying and just do the classic fox farm trio of nutrients and use your fox farm and still get results.

Check Ace hardware, brah...they actually have a decent amount of stuff, at least in puna & hilo. Or there's Ohana greenhouse, they are a little expensive but have pretty much everything. Otherwise Amazon and Kelp4less both ship to hawaii for free.
 
Is the light pretty much always 12/12 outside in Hawaii since you guys are right on the equator?

So you guys could veg inside and flower outside like all year long?
 
I've been reading tough on grows there. The thread has said there's been a lot of Ariel . are most people getting rolled even with only 10 to 20 plants?
