In the last 2 days i have received 8 different strains all together (6 in cutting form and 2 in seed form) 8 cuttings total ( i got doubles of 2 strains) and 2 packs of 3 seeds from local big island growers most of which aren't local strains , too many strains to name right now so ill name them off in the morning haha i have lots of fire now, im hoping to supply the big island with more quality genetics

anyone on oahu or maui checkout the new dispensaries? Curious about the quality they are producing for around $19/gram.

I just got back from Oregon and checked out a handful of shops, the top shelf stuff there is usually around $13/g but all the herb seems really dry and there was a lot of straight up garbage flowers for sale, which was surprising. Honestly made me feel a little bit better about myself as a grower...some of the stuff looked/smelled worse than stuff Ive thrown away.
I haven't checked out the Maui dispensary yet. I heard they had a private opening this last week and tomorrow (Monday) is the official opening the the public. From what I saw on IG it looks like the quality is okay, but not worth $19-21/gram. There's been some pretty funny memes on IG about Aloha Green. One guy said he was finding several seeds in his stuff. I knew they dispensaries weren't going to be able to compete with the gray market on price and I suspected they wouldn't be able to match quality either, but it sounds like the only reason anybody would only go there is for the novelty of it or maybe if you're someone who is a medical cannabis patient and a hermit/anti-social or REALLY new to the islands.

I'm kind of surprised to hear that the quality wasn't up to par at the Oregon dispensaries. You probably have to know the right dispensary to go to, but how do the dispensaries with lesser quality even make a living? In my circles you literally can't get rid of B grade buds. Nobody wants them even for a REALLY good price. Maybe I just hang out with too many weed snobs or something. There is plenty of good weed here so I guess that's spoiled the guys I know, ha ha.

Mahalos, haha nah just some bag seed I got at a disp during a layover there. Had a couple seeds in it and thought I'd take them home see what theyd do
Das how bu! I always snag the seeds out of good bud when I find them, which isn't very often. I was trimming up some of my GG#4 x Valley OG (called Gorilla Valley bred by Casper808) and found a few seeds. I assume the pollen donor is from the neighbor down the way. It'll probably be a good cross. The Gorilla Valley is a really great plant and the neighbor usually has some good stuff going.

I kinda feel bad for my neighbors down wind from me that grows cause my male girl scout cookie and fofana are making clouds of pollen (forgot to pick off ripe flowers for 2 days ) atleast they will get some girl scout cookie and fofana crosses for free
Ha ha ha, that's too funny. It happens to me occasionally and I don't mind. I only get a few seeds usually so it's no big deal. I'm thinking I might throw my males outside this round. There's no one downwind from me for at least a mile so my conscience is clear. At least you're not growing hemp :bigjoint:

aloha, ive got 2 questions

1. are there legitimate heirloom strains like kona gold and puna budder still being grown on the big island?
2. anyone heard of pua mana seeds? they claim to have ohana on all of the islands and they claim they have all of the old heirlooms in seed form. Can anyone vouch for them? I can't find a grow journal or review of them anywhere. I'm skeptical
If you're talking 60's-70's strains then I don't know if there's any legit ones around still. Most of the real oldschool ones were pure or nearly pure sativas that grew really tall and took a long time to flower and were easy to spot when Green Harvest started flying so most everyone crossed those strains to Afghanis to make them shorter and flower faster. If you're talking heirloom 20 years old there's still some of those strains alive and well and some are still pretty popular.

As far as Puamana seeds goes, I don't know if they're legit, but I'm pretty sure Greyskull, oldhaole, dirtyboy808 and surfdout called him out on some stuff on icmag.com. The last I saw of the thread didn't look too good for Puamana. I'm also pretty sure that thread got deleted. A buddy of mine over here is growing out one of his strains (Maui Wowie I think) and he said it's looking good so far and it's definitely a far leaning sativa plant. I'll ask him how it's looking the next time I see him.

Dont get me wrong, there is quality if you knew what to look for but it lacked the power of hawaiian sungrown. They are super strict about testing though, so at least everything is clean and the mid grade stuff is under $10g. I will say they do put out some amazing concentrates.

Yes they are legit iv talked with them in instagram a few times , i personally havent grown there gear out but iv seen alot of people on Instagram grow their gear and it looks legit and dank too , dude a pua mana was trying to get me to get kona gold for breeding , i might just have to take them up on it , message thembon Facebook or Instagram and they usually give a 33-45% off code because there prices are a little steep
Puamana is a joke dude, he used to buy herb from one of my good homies on Oahu. He is just a kook from Oregon that went to UH Manoa for a couple years and is taking suckers money by using made up Hawaiian stories to sell his seeds. I would have no issue with him selling his little dorm room closet seeds if he wasnt spreading so much misinformation and fake history to sell them. Lot of snakes in this industry and he is one of them.

hey hawaii growers can you please tell me if this looks like ball sacks or calex.View attachment 3996901ive been spraying CS on my plants to make fem seeds but to me it looks like ball sack but at the same time looks like Calix.
Dont give up keep spraying twice a day even if you think its not working some strains only take 4 weeks to change over and some take 6 or so , last plant i tried to reverse i didnt think it worked so i stoped spraying after 3 weeks of spraying i gave up and let it grow then after harvest i broke up the buds for make hash and boom male flowers and seeds haha
