Hawaii Growers

What's up Hawaii, stoked to see everyone's keepin it real! Alohas..

What up guys. Been awhile but ive checking out the thread every so often. Some nice work being done here. Ill post some of my latest stuff here soon...

Summer run outdoors, my widow, micky kush, and Jesus og

Nice set-up Dyna.

Here's some shots of a Kali Mist I took yesterday. I took the tops off of it before this picture was taken :

On a less happy note, does anybody know what this is from? I posted this in the plant problems forum too, but thought I should post it here since it could be from some bug that mainlanders don't have. It has also been ridiculous windy here so hopefully this stuff is from wind damage and not something like bore beetle.

Here's a branch from one of two plants. All the leaves were limp and dying. Crappy pic, but you get the idea.


And here's the base of the branch after I cut it off. This is the spot that had me a little worried.



Here is a close-up of the base of the branch on the other plant where it looks like it's bruised.

And here's the full shot of the "bruised looking branch".


Much mahalos for any help.

I've never seen that happen. Looks like something ate into that branch.

That's Depressing..

I've had it happen a few times and it doesn't seem to do much besides kill a branch, but I check on my plants almost everyday and cut them off as soon as I notice it and throw the branch away from the plants. Maybe it would end up being something worse if I let it go on longer or didn't do anything about it.

What is really depressing is going through the buds off the plant on my avatar and finding out almost all of it had mold inside the buds. We had some really wet winter and spring weather this year and it took its toll.

Do you have bore beetles in your area. They attack branches Aloha DB

I don't know. I was thinking it might be bore beetles. I was hoping you'd chime in since I remembered you lost a big girl last long season to bore beetles, yeah? Do you have a recommendation for fighting them? Thanks East.

I had to harvest my plant, posted a few pages ago, early because it went from white hair buds to red/brown hair buds in 2 days after 35 days or so of flowering. I felt as though she was dying fast. Cloudy and Amber trich's made me feel a little better about chopping her.
I did find a couple of these guys in a couple of buds...
Does anyone know what kind of bug it is?

Looks to me like stem rot, grey mold starts at the joint sometimes instead of on flowers.

Thanks Surfd, I guess I'll do a little research on that now. Is there anything you would do for stem rot?

And @ mmjmon; I don' know what kind of bug that is.

Spray it with Serenade.

Thanks Surfd, I'll give it a try. I'm pretty sure I have a bottle I bought a few years ago. I wonder if that's too old

I have to agree with Surf I had a Frost do that also never knew why but she survived .

Thanks East. I don't know what's up. I've never had it happen before and two of my plants have it.

On a lighter note, here's some pics of plants I did during winter season.

Bay 11 budshot



Kali Mist in a 3' wide planter


Kerala Skunk (same plant as my avatar, but different angle)


Ace Seeds Malawi in a 6' wide planter. A little overkill for short season.

I let this micky kush go 9 weeks. She started turning purple in the last couple days. I was worried about bud rot so I chopped it. We've been getting rain every night. Even with a cover the humidity still gets them.

Hope you guys are having a great weekend. I'm spending mine outside enjoying mother nature's beauty.

I took this picture yesterday.

Really pretty plant Dyna. Pretty spot to hang out also. Where is that?
