Aloha y'all. I finally got over here. Hopefully we'll be moving into a house soon. It's been a bitch finding one. My wife is black and the realty people here are racist as fuck. Either no time for a showing or it's just been rented. It's pretty fucked up. Anyway I'm enjoying the beauty of the island and people are friendly as hell for the most part. Cheers!

Oahu just has the worst housing inventory out of all the islands, especially around this time of year when the University semester is just starting up everything is in very high demand and foreign investors keep buying up everything to turn them into vacation rentals.

How's the housing situation on the Big Island looking? I'm just curious since it seems like a lot of people got evacuated.

Rental prices have gone up on the BI, but you can still get a decent house on an acre or two for what you would pay for a crummy apartment on Oahu.

I hope all you guys are high and dry. Most injuries happen after the storm,, so keep a sharp eye out when you go to inspect damage. Good luck to all.

Thanks for checking in too larry!

Most of Maui didn't fair too bad. The Westside had some house and brush fires caused by falling power lines so they were out of power for about 36 hours and I think 7 homes burned down. On my side we had some decent wind and got 13 inches of rain, but that's not that big of a deal.

The east side of the Big Island got hit hard with rain. There's some crazy pictures online of the rivers and flooding. I think they got something like 30-40 inches so a bunch of homes got flooded as well as businesses, streets, parks, etc.

It looked like it was going to be worse though for a bit. Thankfully nobody took a direct hit of the hurricane. It was fairly close to being really terrible.

Was pretty bad in East Hawaii. Record breaking rain falls, our downstairs had 15” of water and my garden was a 30” lake. At one point my 100gal water tank was floating around.
Looks to be 2-3 more storms brewing up over the next 2 weeks....uggh, I really can’t deal with this shit again.

I saw your video on IG. I'm sorry to hear that. That would be a tough situation to deal with. Hopefully there's nothing major for the rest of hurricane season

We measured 60 inches in Kurtistown. Roads trashed, neighbors houses flooded, other neighbor got washed down a river in his 4x4 almost died. Was very dangerous.

Craziness! That's an amazing amount of water! I think the weather reporting stations were off a bit, because I know the weather stations didn't report 60" for you guys. I put an empty trashcan out on Thursday night and measured 17" by Sunday and the news said we got a little over 10" and that was with a tapered trashcan too. It would measure higher with straight sides so something is off with their recording methods.

Anyway, I'm glad to see your still kicking surfd!

Rikdabrick, the yield is great, the first was 130.

Oh heck no, that was the Durban Poison. The auto was about 45, less than I expected.

Not too bad. It's just been some strong wind and a decent amount of rain. The power's been out most of the day. Nothing too crazy though. I'm glad to hear you guys got a break on this one

I'm finally getting my groove back after having the worst summer season ever. After I got flooded from hurricane lane, my plants were super neglected, few plants had a crazy scale infestation which I never had before... ended up cutting everything a few weeks early and still havent even bothered trimming it lol.

Right now I'm flowering out some new tres mints phenos, a couple Key Lime Pie x Sour Dubb from the maui boys, and some Chem D x Headbanger testers from Doc D Seeds. Here's a couple recnt pics...all about week 5ish.

Nice grow bro!

I was in the same boat as you. I got this funky shit happening on my leaves the last couple cycles and i couldn't finish them out. Some brown spots that would take over the leaf and make it dried and crinkled. I thought it might have been magnesium deficiency but a friend told me it was spot mold, so i started spraying the organocide which i hope is helping.

Good for you on making it almost to harvest bro. I met Greyskull at his last AHI event. He's a pretty nice guy, hope his gear turns out for you. Aloha bro

Looking good. Those storms can be hell. I checked on some of mine the morning after my storm, but it was over 3 weeks before I could get to others. This week was the first most of them have had a drink of water since before Oct 10.

These are some Too Slo, a local {NW Florida} sativa leaning strain I was hoping to do some breeding with. I'm running a lot of northern genetics, and they all flower in the summer, when it rains everyday. I'm hoping to back up the start of flower, and make them a little tougher.

As far as I know, I only lost one plant in the storm. Several of them had to be pulled out from under pine trees though.

Tres Mints looking better every day

Sup guys looks like everyones still growing some killas. I've been out of the loop for a bit and have been wondering about the status of recreational MJ in Hawaii. Anyone got the skinny?
