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.

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?

[oldhaole]

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.

So far so good with the girls. But harvest is still far away and much can go wrong. I always expect the worst, and hope to be wrong. So ask me that in three months.

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.
