Aloha!
Anyone on Oahu got some home grown ewc/compost they can share? My worm bin died..
Craigslist can be a good source for EWC and compost if you haven't checked already. You probably know that already. How's your grow going? I'll have to check out your journal.

I agree 25 is too cold for most of us. Today is 18 sadly, your weather and area is gorgeous, if i could afford to live out there i most likely would spent the rest of my life there honestly. I guess there's a group of guys that supply local restaurants with fresh fish and they use kayaks! Nothing like taking your life into your hands everytime you suit up for work! Never heard of banana leaf wrap man sounds great!
If you have some kind of skill or trade, can show up to work on time, not ditch work for surfing and/or beach days, have some persistence and hopefully a bit of luck, can meld into the local culture and can live simply you could make it fine. And the longer you live here (or anywhere) the better hookups you get if you're social at all.

Commercial fishing is hard and can be dangerous work, but if you're good at it you can make enough money to live on working 1 1/2-2 days a week. I have a buddy that's a commercial fisherman. It's just him on a boat and he's got some crazy stories. I'm sure him and the kayak guys could swap stories for hours.

And banana leaves make good wraps. They make a nice addition to the flavor.

If you want to come visit this winter (before February) let me know. I have a good hookup on a rental.

If I could explain to you guys how ironic this post is.............


10 hours after this post I had one if the most negative experienced of my life......rik. I belong by the ocean. There's NOTHING I wouldn't do to earn a safe living spot for myself. I have arborculture skills. I also have the gift of being easily trained by tradesmen in there crafts.....only thing I haven't tried is welding. I'm the kinda guy who can watch a garden 24 hours straight in warm weather

Hope you got through that negative shit man. Living by the ocean is healing in itself. I will never not live near the water. If you have a little bit of money, and I do mean a little bit, you can live here for a very long time.

LOl. Hawaii grows shitty weed, to small of a place, over inflated and the west coast started the modern day Kayak fishing. If I had a choice I'd move over by you. lol

and screw jon-jon

Lol Cali reject weed is usually the stuff that gets imported here, the stuff they couldnt sell locally because theres so much competition over there. Many people make a decent living on Oahu selling Cali reject packs at top shelf prices.
You have to be in the right circles to get the top shelf Hawaii grown and alot of that stuff gets spoken for before it is even harvested.

With that weather and genetics like cali mist.......one should have no issues providing themselves with great smoke/meds. I hear bodhi's gear does well on the islands

I'd say it's strain dependent; mostly dependent on estimated weeks of flower time. If it's an equatorial sativa strain I wouldn't plant it past Oct./early Nov. If it was something more like a 10-12 week flowering stain the Dec/early Jan. I'd say would be good. The Malawis I was growing were a 10-14 week strain and they finished fine when I started flowering them in December. Anything with less flowering time than that could probably be planted just about anytime of year. They probably won't be sensitive enough to tropical daylight hours to revert back to flowering even when the daylight hours are increasing. Far leaning sativas will most likely be more sensitive to the slower increases of tropical daylight hours and could reveg if they're still flowering near the spring equinox. I had it happen a couple times with tropical strains from clones. I let them reveg and grow out and flower again and it was a waste of time overall. I would've done better just cutting them down and putting in some fresh clones. And thanks for the kind words :)
Bingo!
