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.

Well I do have 65# fabric pots, I assume I will be doing some pinching, etc, along the way. Usually 25# fabric is as large as I go, though I do have a 45# which might be perfect.

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.

Yeah, I'm totally feeling the need for some protection from the elements and insects.

There's a lot of good seedbank out there, but have any of you Hawaii growers ordered from them and got your seeds?

I would be getting seeds right now, just haven't found anyone who has got them delivered to them here in HI.

Found a few mold resistant strains for growing outdoors on a few sites, just gotta find the bookmarks. Man a huge pant budding and it rains and it doesn't have any bud rot, now that's the strain I want. :)

Wow this is a pretty long thread. I recently moved from California, and am happy to see the dialog.

I'll probably start a growing and document it with a journal soon. I'm just waiting till I get a few more things taken care of.

It will be a small grow, 2-3 plants max in flowering.

Indoor 4x4 tent with CFLs & Fluorescent Lights, then Flower under a 600w HPS.

So I started three regular seeds of SAGE /Sour and I am hoping that is enough to get at least one girl out of the three. I also have one Lemon Thai. All 70-80% sativa dominant (YMMV). I have a persistent bud rot problem from the rains, I really need to beat it. I've been hitting it with Flying Skull, but it seems to come roaring back.

Are you talking about the Nuke Em product from Flying Skull? I believe that is more of an insecticide rather than a bud rot treatment. Best way to fight bud rot is to not let your plants get wet...makeshift greenhouse or some kind of shelter plus a fan or two will help if it's been raining for 2 weeks straight. Also make sure you dont have any tiny caterpillars eating your buds, they are easy to miss when they are small.

If you have those bases covered and still getting rot, then the genetics you selected are not suitable for your location and its time to move on. Its mostly trial and error when you are growing outdoor until you find out what works.

Ho baddahs, howzit? I've been missing out here. Between long season, work, family and trying to get some in depth info on soil, plant and microbiology studies I haven't had much time to spend here. Hopefully everybody is having a good long season so far.

I should have a new spot set up this week for half my plants so I can have alternating veg and flower spots. I'll get some pics up soon enough. I'm going to be working with the native soil and I'm sending in soil for testing for the new spot and my greenhouse. I'm pretty interested to find out what's in the dirt in both spots.

Otherwise, things are cruising along and most of the plants are taking their sweet time finishing with our longer sunlight hours. I took some pics to show off, but accidentally erased them when I was clearing out storage space on my phone. I'll snap a few more this week though.
