Greyskull over on icmag is putting that on. There's going to be A LOT of smoke there; I doubt you'll be able to find anyone in the haze, ha ha. Are you entering? It's a double elimantion blind judging contest and the judges are the contestants and I think there are going to be a lot of contestants so be ready to smoke 100 different entries :) I don't think I could make it through all of them, ha ha. I would like to go, but it's not going to happen.

Will smoke one for you. Looks to be a blast. Didn't find out about it until two weeks ago. So I will try to have something for next year though.

I'm not sure about the red light stuff. I just use normal 23 watt CFL's or 9 watt LED bulbs from Home Depot or Costco and they work fine. Do you know what variety you're growing? If it's a pretty far leaning sativa strain it might stay in veg now or at least by June 1st. How sativa do you think it is? If in doubt though keep putting it under lights at night or put lights over them outside.

I'm trying to get some SAGE/Sour and Lemon Thai seeds sprouted to put out. They are both about 70% sativa. I would prefer a landrace sativa such as Hawaiian Sativa which is supposed to be very good for glaucoma. Up to now I have only grown clones.

How big are the pots your going to flower your plants in and how big are you planning on getting them before the could start flowering?

Like Mohican said, Ace has some good sativas. Also Cannabiogen and Original Delicatessen are known for good sativa genetics. There's a bunch of other good strains too and a bunch of seed breeders have seeds for sale of Hawaiian strains.

As this is my first grow I'm just trying to see if I have what it takes to make a seed into some decent smoke. 3 seeds are up now. JillyBean, Jack the Ripper and Banjo Pajama. They'll be in pots outside. Later I'd like to grow hybrids that do well in Hawaii. I know it's early but pests and PM already have me worried. Makai Windward.

Yes you can and it is great :) It'll spoil you too. I don't think I could live somewhere I couldn't grow year-round. In the summer the plants take a little longer to finish flowering, but the yields are substantially bigger. And I think the plants express some different characteristics between summer and winter too. I assume it's because of differences in light spectrum and intensity as well as temperatures and humidity.

You get PM outside? I've had a few different types of mold, but I've never got PM. All the molds I've got have been during flowering and often times it starts from bug damage, but not always. If you can rig up some type of cover and still get decent air flow that will help. It doesn't necessarily have to be elaborate. I rigged up a small hoop house once out of field fence and painters plastic and it worked for a couple months. Then I just had to change the plastic. You can do similar with PVC or carport frames, wood, the clear roofing from Home Depot, etc. I'd use construction plastic if I was going that route again though. It's way tougher than painter's plastic.

One of the many joys of this and other forums has been reading of the exploits of Oldhaole. He grows outside and has mentioned troubles with PM, especially after rain late into the flowering. I hope I'm still aways from having to deal with the malady. Thanks for your advise on protection. I've enjoyed seeing your magic.

Too bad they are only doing cannabinoid quantification and not screening for mold/pesticides. There is a lot of bad shit getting used on peoples herb even by growers held in high regard. If an entry has the potential to make a real patient sick it should be disqualified, it is for "Medical" Purposes after all.

That's a good call. There's a lab in Cali that a professor from UC Davis set up to test for chemical residues on medical cannabis and from what he said there is a lot of nasty residues particularly in concentrates because all the chemicals wash out with the plant oils but don't necessarily get removed with the purge processes. Apparently it's not uncommon to have chemical residue numbers be hundreds of times over what the OSHA or the EPA considers safe levels for human ingestion. I think he was the first one to open a lab like that and that was pretty recent too. Nobody was testing for that stuff for years. Unfortunately we MIGHT be looking at a lot of unintended health problems for cannabis users and particularly concentrate users in the future. Maybe not though, there's plenty of people who have been smoking weed from who-knows-where sprayed with who-knows-what for decades and are still in good health, but I still think it's a good idea, if possible, to know your source and there growing and/or extraction techniques or grow your own.
