Hawaii Growers

Out of curiosity, do most of you in Hawaii grow from local seeds or do you order them?

every bag I've got never had seeds so I'm going to ether have to order some or see if I can grab a clone

LOL seeds are so nineties... Any good stuff never saw pollen in it's life, so yeah it's not gonna have any seeds. I ordered from Holland for my first time recently, not a hitch to it, although it was slightly stressful, especially for the 300 I paid. I wanted to find someone that would donate a clone like you, but it never happened until after I had seeds, go figure...

Well Im sure most of RIU would know the very best is a well kept secret. I have nothing but bag seeds available to me and I want to explore my options.

aloha again, might be a stupid question but how do u know if a plant has completely started vegging?

Vegging is just what a plant does... You might mean flowering? So the plant grows from a seed, gains length and more nodes called vegging, then it transitions into flowering where it diverts more attention to filling in and the buds. The plant does tend to double or triple in size during flower from whatever it was in the vegitative stage. I find for instance, a 10" plant if put into flower, tends to grow to around 30" or so by chop time. Vegging happens when the spring/summer season is emulated, with 18 hours or so of light, to initiate the flowering stage, you cut back the light to 12 hours, to simulate shorter daylight periods such as in the fall. The plant thinks it's going to get too cold and die soon, so it begins the reproductive process.

Unless you mean like cooter, who is always "vegging"

Yep I started 5 of each Black Rose. Superbomb,Alphadawg,and I gave the Lucky 7 promo to a friend he will gift back smoke from each one.These are all new for me I should have enough smoke to last the summer these will all be done around 4/20.

East, is that Alphadawg from Alphakronik? Please let us know how that one turns out....

Hilo-
Lots of us guys do both....the problem with ordering seeds is it takes a long time to figure out which breeders are worth a fuck and what is advertising, the good thing about seeds you order are you know exactly what you are getting and you don't have to rely on anyone and can keep things secure.

Bag seed might be hermi, and who wants to grow what everyone else has....

But, the very best genetics of mine have been given to me from a good friend....very few folks have the space/commitment/eye to breed their own crosses or lines....

Yep and the Superbomb is from Alphakronic also. I just met my neighbor and traded for some Whitaker x OG Fire so will start some of those today too. I love the spring short season.

Dang, I'm gonna buy your neighbor a safe deposit box for his seeds......wasn't he working the MKUltra line for awhile then lost all his seeds? hehe

Can't wait to see that bluefire flower out!!

That's pretty wild because I am the only person I know that had the real genetics to make Whitaker Blues X Fire Og... and I only gave them to one person on the islands....
LOL if that person traded them to you... that's pretty fucked..

Well, even if it's true, isn't it better being someone from this thread, rather than some other random?

Because, did you realize it sounded like you were saying you were upset that it was EastHawaii that got them, as if he was at fault or something? Anyway, per the answer to the pm you just gave, I won't reply to your posts anymore because I can't ever seem to say anything that doesn't upset you somehow. Sorry man, and I mean a real heartfelt sorry... not a sarcastic one.

Action!!!! Yeah buddy!!!!

I understand we're sheck is coming from. To share bomb genetics is a personal thing. It's a spit in the face to just give them away. I won't even use someone else's genetics to make crosses with out permission.

Then again people share ok genetics all the time. It's the special ones we hold close to us.

This did not turn out good. I thought sharing was what we did? There is now way in hell that you can give any grower seeds and not expect them to breed,cross and such that is what we do. So the giver should know this. If we have bomb gen does this mean we should hoard them. And if you gave seeds to someone who can make oils from all those crystal leaves and use it to cure their skin cancer like me do say no these are to good of genetics. In five years no one will ever rember this and we will be smoking something else.People and friendship superseed weed !!! Now to the bottom line and this is all I will say. This plant grow not just from fert it responds to the energy around it so in the wake of all this not one seed cracked and all 20 of mine and all 7 fems I gave cracked so in the long run no genetics will be passed. So ends another episode of As the pot leaf turns.

Thanks for the reply . Well, my bagseed bit is my first grow so I'm completely content with the free seeds. Although this is my first grow, I do not think I'll end up stopping (ever). As far as genetics and crip buds go, I'll walk the stoner path and find them with time.

You also mentioned "...which breeders are worth a fuck..." and I'd like to know lol! I've heard good things about Nirvana and that's almost it. Anywho...

OBVIOUSLY, I'm from Hilo.Where are you all from?

Hilo-
Sounds like you found out how addicting growing can be, it's amazing how healthy that addiction is. Every grow just gets better. If my girls are looking like shit, I feel like shit.

I'd do a couple grows before I threw any money at seeds, unless you have a green thumb. Nirvana is marginal at best. You kinda get what ya pay for, but you also need to know which banks have fresh seeds too.

Just focus on being a good person and the fire will find you......

Will be moving to your island soon......
