We can fix this....but I need a goal. Long season was good to me, but I can do better. I could slam a bunch of seeds in the dirt and choke myself out on 90 day wonders. It would be easy to do, but yield would be...minor.

I have a light room. It is seldom used. Here's the plan. This grow will start hybred, 12 hours sunlight, 12 hrs CFL's. That way I can get my starts a bit of size, 3 ft or more, before dumping them into their holes. Once in dirt they will jump and bud. Maybe get some 5 footers.

In theory this will work. The whammy will be the weather. La Nina dominates the Central Pacific this year. That means we will be wetter than normal. The land needs rain, as we are still in a 2 year drought now. But the girls don't.

Today I am busting my seeds I crossed from last long season. My goal is to cross the Cali girls with my big yield Sativas. Also those first generation Cali seeds need to adjust to our climate and photo-period. I will also cross the Cali girls with themselves, Then back cross them over Jan - April short season. Maybe I can get them all over 8 ft on long season next year. Also I have new blood comming from the mainland too.

OK. Here's the rules. Questions, comments are always welcome. If you want to call me a pompus asshole thats ok (wife does daily). I would like to stick to this grow. If you have questions or comments about part one, put them there. I'm not done part one yet, and will jump back and forth until long season is done and gone.

Short Season in Hawaii is a quick trip. Three months. It is a time to mess around with the herb and not do any long term damage. Screw ups can be forgotten and if I cross a winner it can easily be put into long season's line up. Blink and you may miss it. And of course you poor bastards on the mainland will soon be freezing, so I will put some fluff shots so you can see what you are missing.
