I'd suggest trusting a close friend to tend them. If they run into trouble while you're gone your whole crop might be toast. I'm proud to announce that I was in the market for a dehumidifier. Found one at a garage sale for $10. Cleaned up nicely.

Got a JillyBean clone that's been outside as fast as she could handle the sun and wind. She's about 10" high and flowering. I don't have a grow setup inside for gallon pots so trying to put her back into vet probably won't go. What should I do with her? She's just growing and vegging away...

I haven't pulled the JillyBean yet tho it's gone. Actually I'm having too much fun watching the others flower. I will be checking the lost one to see if I can learn about my mistake. A couple of weeks ago I was trimming the JillyBean and accidentally cut a small branch. I think it's...

With all the flushing it's ready for a swim meet. I might try to re-pot it in some ocean/forest and see if it can recover but my hopes are low. Here's a pic of it in it's better days right before the bottom fell out. It's the one in the middle.

I'm afraid the droopy one is a goner. There's also a pic showing my LST with balloon trick on one of the other girls. They (the soil mix) both look OK, but I ran a half gallon of 6.2 pH water thru them and the runoff showed 7.6 I then ran a gallon of 5 pH thru each with runoff still 7.6...

Sorry for the growers on Maui and the BI that they're having to endure the hassles of GH. I don't expect choppers hovering over me and my lil' patch on Oahu. When I've checked my pH after adding my nutes and then added pH Down it's always brought my nuted water down as expected before pouring...

I last calibrated my pH meter about 3 weeks ago. I also used a 2 prong soil tester and it also was in the same range, about 9. This particular plant in growing in coco. The other two are in a coco/ocean forest mix and showing no harm but I still need to lower the pH on them as well. Lots...

The pH after adding nutes is usually around 8.2. I'm using General Hydroponics Down to lower the pH after adding nutes. I've been using GH Silica, GH Rapidstart, Cal Mag, Superthrive, GH Micro, Grow and Bloom in doses lower than recommended.

Normal pH of my water is 8. I always have to bring it down after adding nutes.

Update.......I just ran 5 gallons of pH 3.5 water through it and the runoff has gone from 9 to 8.8 Not much of a drop but I gotta get the soil pH lower. Ideas?

OK, as a first time grower I've run into trouble. Yesterday one of my girls looked completely limp. I knew it wasn't overwatering so I ran some water through her to check the pH. I've usually been pHing my nutes down to 6.2 before adding them to my pot. Anyway, the runoff after plain pH...

Lots of white pistils on all three plants. Now, I'm focused on spotting signs of the plants going 'hermie', probably due to stress. I've lost a lot of inner fan leaves when they started flowering. Everything else looks nice and green. Since this is my first grow I'm gonna continue with what...

A previous poster said he used animal balloons for LSTing. I tied the ends of a long balloon together to form a loop. I looped it over the branch I wanted to LST. Then I connected the other end of the loop to a pipecleaner which I had attached to my container via drilled holes. 8 holes per...

My 3 outdoor girls are now starting to preflower after 7 weeks since germination. None are autoflowering. Is this OK? I was thinking I would have more of a vegetative period. After moving them to their final 7 gallon pots I topped and LST'd them. After pulling the branches down using the...

I've a school over my back fence. I never read anything preventing it for growing in Hawaii. I applied and got my grow permit. Fer sure tho I don't want prying eyes looking into my backyard.

I've got three up, about a foot high, in early veg outdoors. Already the leaf miners have found them so I'm spraying with Spinosad. Other than that they look very healthy. Jillybean, Jack the Ripper and Banjo Pajamas.

Are you using 100% cold pressed Neen Oil with a little castille soap to control the leaf miners? Just started my first grow but had hell to pay with leaf miners on my tomatoes last year. Then I was using the diluted, not pure version of Neem.

One of the many joys of this and other forums has been reading of the exploits of Oldhaole. He grows outside and has mentioned troubles with PM, especially after rain late into the flowering. I hope I'm still aways from having to deal with the malady. Thanks for your advise on protection...

As this is my first grow I'm just trying to see if I have what it takes to make a seed into some decent smoke. 3 seeds are up now. JillyBean, Jack the Ripper and Banjo Pajama. They'll be in pots outside. Later I'd like to grow hybrids that do well in Hawaii. I know it's early but pests...

Got two germinated seeds in potting mix today. 2 strains. My first grow. Wish me luck.
