Hawaii Growers

comments always appreciated!

Glad to see an 808 thread goin strong!, i'm headed back to Oahu in a week and will be settin up a new backyard grow opp on north shore, I was plannin on orderin some new seeds and was wonderin what strains people have had the best luck with on Oahu in primarily outdoor grows recently? Much mahalos for any helpful advice/recommendations

Nirvana seems to be a fairly well-trusted site with reasonable prices, i was looking at feminized Kaya Gold, Swiss Cheese, and PPP in particular. I'm looking for something fairly low-maintenance to grow, suitable for Oahu's north shore climate, and that will produce potentially large yields of potent bud. Any recommendations on these 3, or another better-suited strain would be greatly appreciated!

Oh, and what would be the earliest I could consider getting started on the grow (with the winter months coming up). I was planning on having them inside in pots until they were 6-8 inches and looking nice and healthy and then transplanting them outside.

Mahalos again, this is my first grow in the 808 and i want it to be as fruitful as possible!

Aloha!! You can start your grows anytime of the
year outdoors here, sativa strains work best but you can use any you wishaloha!

Transplanted 6 of my babies to 5" pots last night. No Transplant shock evident this am, so all is good! Grow, girls, grow!

You're up awful early, doc.

Never was a morning person the whole time I was working. Now that I'm not working, it turns out the problem was just sleep deprivation. Now that I can get enough sleep, morning is a lot more pleasant!

Just wanted to share, I recently got a scope (never had one before) to check the trichomes on my girls. Picked a few girls 2 weeks ago goin by the pistels all turning red. That batch when smoked was really good stuff. Now picked the rest by Using the scope and waiting for Half the trichomes to turn red an extra (Loooooong) 16 days. Buds are twice as thick and frosty as hell. This batch is like WHOA sit down, or else it's knocking you the f*&K down.
This strain was supposed to finish off in 8 weeks but went beyond 10 weeks.
If you are growing for severe pain, trust me wait till the end and DON'T pick her till she's done.

Doc... I disagree about Sativa strains growing best out here... We will see come Harvest party

Puna- Congrats on getting some BlackJack.. the indica dominant phenos are wickedly strong and highly sought after by the cali dispensaries for it's painkilling ability... you gonna be cloning ?
I just scored some of OG Raskals Purple Bubblegum (Purple Urkel x 97 Bubblegum) and Dr. Candyman's Ape Dawg (Grape Ape x Chem D)... Two highly sought purple crosses that won't be sold anymore.. I'll be happy to swap a clone when I get them up
I agree that Purple Urkle is phenomenal and Grape Ape is one of the best purples to have that grapey taste.....

Lehua-Howzzit Aunty... Miss ya

Welcome new folks....


Positive Vibrations to your crops

I look forward to it!! hi Shecky

I like their customer service. But for product I give them a B-. I think some of their strains aren't ready for prime time yet. Very,very unstable at best were their Blackberry & BlackJack strains. But that's not to say I don't like them, on the contrary they are awesome at the same time....just a bit unstable. But I know for sure, I'd purchase them again down the road. But on a personal level, I gotta go with 'Greenhouse Seed Co.' They to me are way above all the other seedbanks put together.

I don't trust the sites like attitude and nirvana anymore after I talked to some breeders about how fresh the seeds are at those places...

The breeders I talked to said they typically release the freshest seeds to the auction sites at places like icmag and thcfarmers and if they don't sell within the 2 month period in some cases they are sent back to the breeder... who in turn sends them to the private seed banks......

Also places like Nirvana may create their own versions instead of going out and getting those genetics...
For example..... The Jack Herer in BlackJack is actually Nirvana's "Jock Horror" in which they took what they thought was the components of Jack Herer and put their own creation together...
You are right about the stability as there are many variations within the seeds.... My buddy in Cali who grows for several dispensaries found an indica dominant pheno and it's incredible... but I know he went through like 30 females to get that one.....

Aunty- My crop is looking good. This is my first year so it can only get better. I HOPE!!!

I'm running SSH, Thai Skunk, Jack Flash Raspberry, Maui Waui Skunk, and G-13 Haze. I am totally amazed at the growth in the last two weeks.

HK- Where is the new shop, I'd like to check out the stock.

Aloha all
