So far as the kids....how old are they?
So far as the lizards, that's a damn shame how they die in transit...is there any way you got them back and put them back in the tree?
Set up some motion sensor lights in your driveway or in different spots to discourage "visitors". They are cheap.
Not dat kine sing ovah here.Quote:

Coupled with the "distant, early, warning neighbors" he'll be fine.:cool:
Gotta go feed my "motion sensors".

Aloha Desert. Thanks for stopping by
Thanks nugs. We are just getting to the good part. i don't know if it is strain related, or the season, but these are going off earlier and faster than normal.
Which kids? My kids that regrew were planted in Febuary and the kids from seed in March.
The other kids in the tree were just kids. The youngest (call him the urinator) is 13. The other two were 15. From what I have heard, the 13 year old ratted everyone else out. So I am no longer at the top of the shitlist.
When I caught up to the driver, I scared the guy, and the first thing I grabbed was the Jacksons. If he was going to run, I wanted my stuff back. So I now have 40 new residents in the trees around here.
I have tried motion sensors but have had too many false alarms. The mob is sleeping outside, for the next few months, so I am not too worried about midnight visitors.
Damn Weezard, As I was typing this, I just read your comment....that makes it easy nugs.....what weezard said. Thank god I swallowed my coffee or it would be all over my monitor.
Looks like the authorties are doing Green Harvest #4 this week. Yesterday a bit before 10 AM a single chopper was just there, and gave me the once over. If this was last year I would have been so busted right then. I love this legal stuff, no panic, just stroll out to the deck and wave at the nice policemen.
Started my harvest on Sunday. Took three of the Cali girls. #s 11, 18 and 19 are gone. 18 & 19 were below average and had the mold. My partner had some 3 ft clones and he gave them to me so all the holes have been turned around. 11 was a fine girl, She is still drying, but I think I will get 10-12 ozs off her. On that one I beat the mold. So it can be done. Will update when she is ready to burn.
Turned all my leftover weed for the rest of this summer into kief. I can't describe how good it is. Two hits and blotto. Take too big of a hit and you hack up a lung. Funny as hell, turn a friend on, tell him or her to take a tiny hit. They never do. Get to watch them change color as they try to hold it in. Then they explode. Works every time.
Thanks to all following this log. It helps me to put my thoughs down and bounce ideas off of you. I also have a timeline for this season. It helps to know what was done when. So thank you all.

W.:D
Another week meets it's untimely demise....
It's been quiet....a good thing. The girls have switched into gear. This is an early year. A normal year, my sativa takes it,s own sweet time to bud....not this year.
In the last week I am looking at the crop and seeing bits and pieces of harvests long gone by. In a regrow summer harvest you are racing the sun, so you don't have the time to let the weed fully mature. Now we are working on Maui time....It takes as long as it takes.
All the regrows have a common father. Good old W.W. The moms are bloodweed, strawberry guava, my own H.B. and W.W. I am just beginning to be able to see the traits of them, and their grandparents. It is a blast from the past.
The garden looks great. The usual order; Gulch, Bottom, Top.
The rest of the gulch; Except #6
Here is #6.... Then we carry on...
More:D
More...:D
A couple more... stick with it.
Last one.....hope you enjoyed the tour.
I have been following it for more than a month now.
:thumbsup:
Give a fool a camera and stand back....I wanted to do this legaly for many years....Kinda like giving a child a lighter and telling him to go play in his room.
Have a good morning... I'm going to sleep.
Doin good, I looked at too many pictures just now to give a distinctive remark about one of them, they all look good. Nice work.

Greetings OH,
You've got a good thing going! I just re-located to the northwest side of your volcano, made the long trek from Lahainaside. So far it has been a welcome change. The wife and I are getting our hands dirty in vegetable gardens on the property but we don't have any experience with growing the finer things in life. Was wondering if you had any words of wisdom for someone looking to get a start?
When you say Northwest I think Of Pulehu Rd to Makawao Ave. If you are on the Pulehu or Omopio Rd side you are golden. If you are in Pukalani to Makawao...not so good. To many neighbors. Olinda is ok too.
Advise? Yea I have plenty. A lot depends if you own or rent. If you rent...or have a flock of neighbors close in, don't even bother. You are just setting yourself up for failure.
Get Legal. It sucks to worry about every chopper that flies over. Your project controls you, To this day the sound of a hovering chopper still freaks me out. Want to see me miss a 4 inch putt? Fly a chopper anywhere I can hear it.
Start small. Short season plants, in pots, is the way to go. One here, one there, in christmas berry trees, thick grass, lantana bushes, or painene. If you want to make it easy run a drip line under the grass. Any place that CAN NOT be seen from off your property is good. Have more places than plants. At night move them around. Get greedy and you're going to get ripped. I assume you know about our seasons here. No summer plants. Period.
Fence your land. Well. And the more dogs you have the better chance you will have a harvest. It is an island. If your dogs get a reputation, people will talk, and you don't get ripped.
Plant and water stuff like haole koa or tinaroo to make fast stash places for your girls. See what weed grows well around you and cultivate it. Use kiawe or blackberry or bougenvelia to keep people away from where you don't want them to go.
Lastly, tell nobody.
Good Luck.
I finally checked up on your log and I was so happy to read that you saved the jacksons and they are back in your tree. Those plants are awesome, it doesn't seem possible to smoke that much weed, do you freeze some of it after harvest?
I was glad to get all those Jacksons too. None of them were from my trees, they had been taken from other trees down the road. :DQuote:

Of the four I have taken two were full of rot, and worthless. One was great and everybody got a nice piece of her. The last one wanted to mold, but the hot weather held it back.
So I am 2 for 4 so far.
Sorry for the fuzzy pics. But it does give you an idea what they look like.
This is what happens when a half inch of rain and some wind meet regrows.
YIkes!
Shuckin's brah.
Us farmer kine expects a li'l trouble.;)
Folks on da East cost are a 'bout to get Earled.:(
Now, dat's a Yikes!
So it goes,

after the storm....Hope everything is good for you.
The last three afternoons have been wet ones. Our usual trade winds have been cut off. This may be the wet streak I was worring about. Just enough to soak everything down, but not enough to help with the drought. The next week will give me a few more grey hairs.
All the framed plants came through fine. The smallest regrow looked like a giant foot had steped on it. The main stem split in five or six places. I built a small frame, got a huge pack of zip ties and used about 50 ft of fishing line to put her back together. And it lived! It ain't pretty. See pic 3.
The other one not framed was the big one. As it collapsed, it twisted. I built a frame, but I'm not happy with it. When we dry out, I'm going to redo the frame. Maybe go with six sides, but I have to do it soon. Now I have wet buds piled on top of wet buds. The natural shape of the plant is not square, it is fan shaped, and there is way too much plant stuffed in there.
The rest were easy fixes.
We only had an inch of rain, total, that day. No big deal. The frames work...so far. Some others are takable, but they will be much better if I get a couple of dry weeks. I do not want to be forced to take anything because of rot. I still have a couple of Cali girls that I am trying to nurse to the finish line.
Between drizzles I went out and took some quick pics. Three wet afternoons and nights in a row. So far no mold. All except #8 are Sativa. Eight is the last cali girl in the garden. That would be pics 3 & 4
I think I can scrape a few more pics out. Most are in the bottom garden.
im for sure hypnotized! what do you think your yeild is gonna be! i tell you what i call those THE GREEN MONSTERS!!!!
Hey, now we are starting to get some drizzle here in socal after that killer heat wave....go figure! I'm sure my plants are as confused as I am and right now are covered with a fine mist. As long as they are outside with a nice breeze blowing on them I am not too concerned about bud rot.. or should I be? It is going to be like this for the next 2 days...no heavy rain tho. They need about another month of flowering.
just realized I was posting in your grow log and didn't mean to be a grave thread digger or gravedigger or whatever that term is.
Your plants still look great no matter all the recent stress they have had.
The term is threadjacking and no, you didn't come anywhere close to it. If anything I write makes you go "hey, I wonder if that may be happening to me?" that is a good thing.Quote:

From what I hear you have had a strange season too. Never hurts to pull up a seat and go over everything.
Thanks for the tip, I'll keep an eye on the fattest bud. You are a veritable fount of knowledge!! :thumbsup: You seem to be very experienced and can save your plants from rain, wind, stress, thieves......even your broken plants that you tied back up with their frames, good job!
I feel so bad for LSY and his thievery problem...if only we could all mentally hang out in his yard and gang up on the cowards.
I just had a question about this, have you tried using cloning gel on the areas that look to be getting moldy or rotten? I tried it once and it seemed to work, because it's supposed to disinfect without hurting the plant. Well, obviously depends on the kind of cloning gel. It also may have been that I stopped watering near the base of the plant. I was just wondering, to see if anyone else had tried the gel.Quote:

I'm still considering moving to Hawaii.
I'll be on AIM if anyone would like to chat.
Hello my friend, looks like you once again saved your girls from the strange rain you had previously said, there isn't much rain to deal with. Its been a strange season for everyone this year. A lot of people are complaining about how their plants are taking so long to begin flowering. And lots of rain which brings out the snails, bugs and rot:wtf:. But you really know how to make your cages work for ya:thumbsup:. Sure wish i could make one as two days of rain blew the Edna over. I tied her back a bit and added soil to the area around the stems and ran it over good with my back wheels to pack it in to stabilize the plant a bit more. This stem looks a lot like your big short one thats real close to the ground plant, thats why i put the rope around it to let the plant move with the wind, but not as far as to brake the branches. I saw a chopper looking the other day and my heart was in my throat the entire time. It flew a mile away in about 5-6 circle's then came my way, but went right over it twice without slowing down. Im hoping this is a good sign, but will feel better in a couple days. I also got a Dog a few days ago and liking her a lot. Shes my first female Dog ever and a Rotty mix. She's starting to let me know people are coming in the driveway already so im hoping soon she will get to know the back areas well.
I am letting the Edna go as she may and the others are doing ok, but still have the fungus, just not as bad. I guess im a bit freaked now after seeing the chopper, but feeling good it didn't slow down, but just circled around it and went over the area and kept going. Iv never seen them looking before, but you would think if they saw something, they might come around again to get a better look at it. Its one thats out further then the others and looks like your plain ol Christmas tree. I wanted to bend it down, but a friend told me to let her go, sure wish i laid her on the ground now. I know you have seen them before, do you know how they go about finding them at all? Im very curious:wtf:
I cant even imagine the yield your going to have, i just hope everything works out like you have planned:thumbsup:, il be shooting you an email tonight, just an FYI,
:rasta:
Those are looking great. Good job at dealing with all the mother nature bs.
I wouldnt mind moving to hawaii like you guys.... Then maybe weez can give me LED DIY classes!
Or at the very least let me play with that wild looking black cat of his.
Nugs...thank you....now please save it until harvest is in. There are a couple that are very ready. I am just starting to get there. And I am in the full paranoia mode. So far so good.
Chawa... If the mold was in a single location gel would work. Instead tiny spot break out here and there. What gets me is the constant humidity. Here is the daily readings from a weather station lower than me.
Weather Station History : Weather Underground
Humidity....100% all night.
If you are thinking of living here do it with your eyes open. Go to City Data. There are lots of comments from people that made the move. See what and how they did it.
LSY... glad you have the new dog. I won't say you are out of the woods but you have a chance. Will discuss more later. Ain't it a bitch when one falls over? Do the best you can with her, but you can leave her like that.
Since I have never seen how they GH there, I can only tell you how they work here. Do some research. Use the Google. Learn what you can. then we can compare notes.
I can sympathize with the "oh shit is that them???" feeling. That sound is hardwired into my brain. E mail me when you can.
Get This...Thank You. Flights leave daily. It is rough but some poor bastards have to live here. Weez and I are just doing our duty. Living here, so you don't have too. :D
Today I went to a good friend's only son's wedding. This was planned from quite a ways back, but for the three hours I was away, I was shitting bricks. Hurry up,.... say I do already,...yeah yeah yeah...love, honor...come on I gotta go. Wife of my youth was so pissed. Fuck the reception, gotta go home.
:D <--Beeg one!
did the typhoon mess with y'all?...I heard it was a big one?..that hit the Big Island?
First I've heard of it, DP.Quote:
