What do you have starting? Did you grow out any of the Snow High packs? His stuff always interested me and I've read some really good reviews on some of his varieties and mixed ones on others. It sounds like he has some great phenotypes to find, it just might be hit or miss on some of them.
Got a bunch of stuff started, going through some older stuff from other breeders as pretty soon I will only be running seeds that I have made. I dropped all my cuts and just doing seeds from here on out.

Ran a bunch of different stuff from Snow and there are some very nice unique kind stuff but there is a little hunting usually required. I think I may still have a couple extra packs from him, you wanna try run em?

It would be cool to run some Snow High gear. It just might be awhile before I get around to it. So if you don't mind I could take some. I might wait until after Jan. 1st to put them outside. I usually pop some stuff for fun between January and April. Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it!

Is that Pihoiki?

Shoot, next time I go in my seeds I will pull ya out whatever I have left from Snow. I got some of his Maui going right now. Yep, heard the choppers pounding OV today.

Fuck, yeah that is Pohoiki. So sick right now. We didn't deserve this. She still there but probably only for a few more days...so many memories. I was there everyday. I miss everybody.

Right on, no rush on the seeds, I've got plenty to fill in the time, ha ha! How'd did the Coastal stuff turn out? I'm guessing you got some pretty decent mind fire from some of their crosses, yeah?

I've been keeping up on the lava flow through my wife mostly. Most of our friends over there are down near Pahoa and my wife has been good about keeping in touch with several of them over there so I heard that it doesn't look good for Pohoiki. I know everyone is expecting the worst and already super bummed out. I hope a miracle happens. We used to go there regularly on Sundays. Such a nice place to hang out and such a mellow surf spot for having some good waves. I never personally saw anybody get agro out there over surfing. I'm sure it's happened, but I didn't see it. I've got some real enjoyable memories there too. Such a crazy situation over there right now.

Coastal has some good stuff. They did disband tho. Bam and Bob Hemphill and Kagyu(he is keeping the brand) all separated up due to some issues with Kagyu. I not really into the sativas and I probably won't be testing anymore stuff for Kagyu but will be working more with Bam.

Aloha Y'all. I have an Auto Amnesia XXL I sprouted about 42 days ago. Once it got big in the Solo cup, I put it in a 10# fabric. It's been under a KIND LED light 17 hours a day, except about a week ago I started putting her outdoor during the day in the sun. Here's my question: this girl should take 75-90 days according to breeder, but at 42 days her trichomes look a perfect 20% brown, most of rest milky. Has anybody else had a similar experience?
Don't forget tomorrow is Lahaina Noon.

Make sure you are looking at the trichs on the actual bud and not the sugar leaves. The sugar leaves turn Amber way earlier than the ones on the flowers.

Other than that, I never harvest by trichome color, I wait till the flowers are well filled out and swollen OR I let bad weather decide, whichever comes first

Thx for your response, I never realized the sugar leaves brown up first.

Yep, waterproof is correct on that. I also don't generally harvest by trichome color. I just harvest when the buds look done which means that pistil production has stopped or nearly stopped and calyxes have swollen. I also usually just harvest the sections of the plant that are finished and I leave the inner and lower buds to finish up longer. I'm not a fan of immature looking buds.

Right on. It looked like some pretty cool stuff you had going. I like sativas and I really enjoy growing them, but they don't make a lot of sense for me to grow nowadays for a variety of reasons. 12 week flowering would be about my limit.

So it sounded like Pohoiki is still standing from what I read on the Hawaii Tracker page on Facebook. They said the lava is flowing north of Pihoiki still. Have you heard anything different?

The lava stopped right outside of the Bowls break and it is entering the ocean harder a bit north of there. As much lava as she is pumping out, this is just a stay of execution.

@BIgrow Auto flowering strains are not known for their potency or yeild, you would be better off just running regular plants.

SurfdOut I'm aware autos are generally smaller, but they are quicker, so while waiting on Sativas, it's nice to have something coming up and into jars. This is only my second crop of them, they are a convenient option.

How big do your autos get here. I did a couple freebies from the attitude during the middle of long season and they came out tiny, like maybe a foot tall. I assume they want 18-24 hours of light and the 13.5 hours we get just didn't cut for them. I've also heard autos have come a long way in all aspects in recent years and I've seen some pretty good sized plants and so maybe the newer autos would end up getting bigger out here. If they don't get much bigger than that then 12/12 seed is definitely an option. One time I did a bunch of seeds Jan. 1st and the smallest seed plants came out just as big and yielded better than the couple auto plants I grew and that was in the middle of short season. Those plants ranged from 1'-3' tall. None had real big yields, but I was just doing it for a little bonus kine stuffs, ha ha!
