Hey! Yeah, they did pretty decent. I'd usually average a pound or better on most varieties. Not too bad for 5 gallon buckets, ha ha! I was pulling 3 plants down per week when I was in full production so there was lots of meds to choose from, ha ha!

That's cool braddah! I like your set-up. Nice DIY greenhouse! How's the temps and RH do in there? You like like you have a bunch of happy plants.

Appreciate it bro. Temps/humidity never seem to be bad. Have not even been monitoring honestly. I keep at least one fan moving air at all times . Screened off the top parts to allow some air flow , gotta finish one side still .
Greenhouse has been working good. Plants seem to be loving it . Put a few in the ground and they seem to enjoy it just fine.
I got a concrete block room I put a window unit in that works awesome for drying/curing.
Post some pics of it when I get it cleaned up this week.

Hey waterproof!
Working for Maui Grown Therapies has been enjoyable. I haven't had a bad day there yet and I'm kicking some okole for them so it's a win-win for each of us I'd say. I'm in charge of overall plant health and coming up with plans to rectify problems that arise and I get to design and install different systems for them. I'm almost done installing a Dosatron system for the veg room and starting to install the fertigation system for the new greenhouse which is pretty rad. There's still a decent amount of room for improvement, but it's coming along really well so far.
Working with the mango farmer didn't pan out, but im working part-time on the farm I live on which is fine. At minimum the commute is easy, ha ha!
I'm also working on my own plant product company. I'll have at least a few different products, but I'm mostly focusing on products with a lot of bio-stimulant properties for plant growth and immune system response. I can let you guys know when it's ready if anybody wants some free samples. We're almost done with the labeling and website and we should have packaging on the way pretty soon too.
How have you been waterproof?

Nice, Are they starting to grow outdoors over there? I havent tried the stuff from the dispensary that grows outdoor here but I imagine it makes a world of a difference.
I just got back from visiting family in Arkansas and ready to start flowering another round of stuff. I always trip out how cheap everything is on the mainland.
Good luck with the new ventures.

I've been reading this thread along with others and trying to gain some knowledge on growing here on the big island(puna/hilo) I was really intimidated about growing here due to the very unique weather that permits us to grow year round here. I've done some research about Hawaiian landrace strains and their ability to thrive here.. I've got an acre and a half of land to be utilized. Gonna be starting small by using a carport frame and plastic 6mill(same set up as many other growers here). If anyone here has any info that can be helpful or any tips for me id greatly appreciate it. Also, if you have any questions just ask. Mahalo.

There is no such thing as a Hawaiian landrace but most sativa dominant strains will do well here. With a greenhouse you can grow almost anything

@waterproof808 I was doing some research last night and came to that conclusion. Thank you for the advice.

Sorry for the SUUUUPER slow reply. I've been silly busy and just haven't gotten to sit down to reply on my computer in awhile.
Anyway, we're do have a mixed light greenhouse going now besides the indoors stuff. The indoor stuff turns out good, but you can tell the plants like the sunlight. They reek way more during veg in the greenhouse than they do indoors.
I have never been to Arkansas, but I would guess it's on the cheaper side as far as cost of living goes, yeah? Mainland cost of living tempts me pretty regularly to move over there, but I'm not sure I could hang. I moved away for 5 years and moved back when it was feasible. This is actually the third time I've lived on Maui. It's hard to stay away I guess, ha ha!
Did you flower out the Sour D BX's yet?

Hey TropicalllyGrown!
waterproof808 is right. You can grow most anything with a greenhouse. I'd just recommend keeping the sides open as much as possible or make it so you can open it up if needed or have really good air exchange. Having an enclosed greenhouse comes with a decent learning curve if it's hot and humid where you live. If it stays on the cooler side than it's not so bad. Just keeping the rain off your flowering plants helps a ton though.
Did you get your carport greenhouse set up yet?

Hey Surfd! Looking good over there and I'm glad to see you stop by! Are you having an easier time keeping your plants happy with the ends open on your greenhouse?

Hey Bud- hope ya doing good! I went back to Oahu last winter and built some big greenhouses for a collective up there. Stay learning. I came back and built this 50ftr up on my big property. The sides and ends use 30% shade cloth instead of insect screen, like that better. I also built it to funnel the trades. The sides roll up and down and are at 6ft. I put curtains on the ends at the end of flower to seal it up at night to run my Quests.
