Hawaii is closer to the equator so the sun hits it at a more direct angle giving us more lumens. We also have great weather so we can finish our plants outside. It usually gets to cold for plants to really finish outside in your area.

not true at all!!!!! dude i got heavy sativa crosses outside still. it was 70 degreese today, but the average for this time of year is like 52. HYBRIDS AND INDICAS FLOURISH HERE. the soil is very very rich thats why the indians stayed in illinois and the sorrounding states. we get like 15 hours of sun a day june-july. only thing i dont like about ativas outside here is i dont really like sativas, they take long has hell to finish, and around here there the only things left still green in fall wich makes them easy to spot

Yeah sativas take so damn long, there so great to grow it's like having hundreds of little plants, the way they bud. But I can't see my self only growing sativas there good to have on the side as a luxury. It's going to be fun triming that Super silver haze. :wall:

didnt you have frost in mid october this year

Sep 26, 20096:43 AM6:41 PM11h 58m 00s− 2m 47s12:42 PM46.7° 149.958

so it looks like the 12 hour starts at the end of september. I have been here 2 weeks and yes today and yesterday were ok but thats about it.

September Normal High: 75°F Normal Low: 57°F Normal Average: 66°F October Normal High: 64°F Normal Low: 45°F Normal Average: 55°F November Normal High: 48°F Normal Low: 34°F Normal Average: 41°

so your flowering in temps averaging 66 in september to 55 in october then all the way down to 41 in november. Thats average temps im sure you will have some really cool days in the mix as well. I know I had to scrape a shit load of frost from my car a week or two ago and that couldnt be good for your plants. If your plants start to flower mid september they would usually finish in 8-9 weeks thats in mid november with the temps averaging at 41 plus the sun is very low in the south sky when you do get sunny days so I stand by my statement. I lived in northern illinois for 20 years and in all the years i have been growing I have only found 2 strains that did remotely well outdoor in that area. Have you had success growing outdoors in your area? If so Id love to know what you did I have some friends that would love some tips to get good outdoor bud in your area.

like i said i have mexican sativas outside and there still alive. i didnt have any better seeds at the time to start. i started them 6 months ago. well has far has tips... tip one go with a indica. tip 2...... build a greenhouse if you can for more sativa plants....... tip 3...... force flower a little earlier to get more of a start... tip 3...... dumps some mulch on the soil around plants it helps insulate them during cold weather..... or even cover them up... its not the weather that i have problems with its the fucking animals... rabbits and deer and shit.

we can grow MUCH larger plants then you hawaiians outdoors. you guys never see more then 13 hours light a day..... more like 12 though. thats why most hawaiin plants like 2-3 feet tall with the exception being pure tropical sativas who will grow big anyway and flower when they feel like it.....

shit ive talked to older dudes who say the worst thing to happend to the island was the introduction of dutch genetics for that very reason..... they miss them old school sativas.....HOWEVER MY NIGGA I DONT!!!!

You're not wrong there kkday!!

I watched this documentary last night - new series by David Attenburgh called "Life" - where they featured a bit of Hawaii (the episode was about Fish.) These little Gobies basically climb up waterfalls using suckers to get up, a lot die and get washed back, but the strong ones make it and live the life of Reilly in their safe ponds at the top of waterfalls. Made me think of you guys climbing up your mountain to your haven of weed!!!:bigjoint:

Peace DST
