Just Another Crappy Day in Paradise Maui Grow Log

[LetsSeeYa]

Wow i really get ya after seeing your stalk holding up a monster. I luv your plants, but also checking out the back ground. Just looks like they are right out in the open. Also the terrain looks very cool with lows and high ground. Iv never traveled so seeing what it looks like there is something im just interested in.

My daughter wants the computer, but i have so much more to say. Il be dropping in sometime here in the next couple days, to pick your brain. Thanks for the update btw:thumbsup:

Thanks for stopping by canawhatsis. It is good to know this log is entertaining. As I said earlier we will take this to the end, Be it bitter or sweet.

Yesterday I began to tie them down. Started on the largest plant in the gulch. First I braced the stem. Used 1/4in rope and wrapped it around the stem tight so splitting is not going to happen. Then I pulled the tops over on the opposite way of the brace. This oppened the middle up to the sun and should increase my yield.

Pic 1. Taken after the tiedown. Plants will grow into any space with sun so I do not expect to see the big hollow center for long.

Pic 2 is my stem and bracing. Looks Mickey Mouse but it will work.

Well looking at the stems of mine, the NL is just one stalk, but pretty sturdy looking. But if it get to your guess of size im in trouble. And the Edna il need help with, but want to put the 5 gal plant in the ground, cuz when i see that droop it most often is time.

You had said some thing about the rats there, well steel wool will stop them. I was goggling and if you put in steel wool an rats it will tell you they will not touch it. Also found out a rats teeth can grow 3' per year. And mice have the same genetic thing going on an thats why they chew, to get their teeth down. Just a thought if ya wanted seeds man, goggle it, its interesting anyway. And thanks for all the help guy il be back for sure, i just luv the pics.

Keep er green man:weedpoke:

Maui to Oregon? How's that working out for you? Wife of my youth has been on me for years to move to Colorado. Needless to say, not going to happen. :wtf:

LSY... How you be? Hawaii has rats. Big time. At my house, the dogs take care of most of them. Unless the area is in extreme drought they will not bother a large unseeded plant. Now and then I must replace a drip line because rats have chewed their way in looking for water. I have used your idea on my coffee trees though. And it works.:thumbsup:

In my harem there is a regrow that decided I did not cut enough off of her on my last harvest in May. Of the five branches I left behind, two of them decided to bud. I was losing yield because this plant was budding and veging at the same time. Pic 1 is the plant and pic 2 is my fix

Pic 3, 4, and 5 are the from gulch girls. pic 3 is from my tie her down post. Pic 5 just got tied down yesterday. Pic 4 I have to do something with, but I have no idea what to do with her. I would like to get her up off the ground and put some distance between branches, but I have yet to think of a way to do that short of pruning branches out of her. Anyone need 200 clones?

The dry season is here. That's ironic because last year we had no rainy season. I am giving my larger plants six gallons of water every other day. Any rain we get on this side of the island from now to November will be from a tropical storm /depresssion or (sarcasam alert) if we are real lucky a full blown hurricane.

Next post I will take you up the hill and show you my embarrassments.

Ha, here on da Big Island (aka Pig Island), our problem is pigs. I'll trade pigs for rats anytime. Too bad you on Maui--I'd take you up on those clones.

No deal... I will keep the rats. You get the pigs.

We have pigs too. And deer. With the drought going on (and getting worse) the animals are comming into populated areas looking for food and water. I know what that is like though. Rats take little bites. Pigs just plow.

If you're up in the hills, there's nothing you can do. On your property a couple of dogs will keep them away.

How are things on the Beeg eyeLand? Have the people on catchment started to haul water yet? Or is it like here, where the windward side still gets rain and the leeward side bakes?

Hey man glad the steel wool helped you. Damn id luv to see a coffee tree. One thing about the steel wool is the rust after a month or so it starts and after this heat goes il change it. Was wondering if the rust would hurt my plants, but other then giving some iron maybe, i couldn't find anything.

Well it looks like you fixed your issue.

Could you get something under it at least. Something like a trellis of some sorts to keep it off the ground, which might spread it out when its up an open. Just a thought, im sure you thought of too.
