It's funny how people call everything deisel. I grew sour deisel and someone told me "thats not sour deisel" I told him "fuck u I know the grower!" people think they know?!?!, they have no idea!
I'm going to re-name a strain "2 inches behine the camel toe" and see if people pick that up and use it.

These strains became the basic ingredients for what would later become Maui Wowee, Kona Gold, etc etc..
Oaxacan varieties (mexico), Columbian Gold, Panama Red, and Thai were the sativa bases... and Afghan as the main induce source.
Much Mahalo,
Is there any current banks that have a close match to and Afghan and Acapulco Gold,Columbian,Thai cross?
Whats in the Elephant?

Aloha Hawaiian growers! Just wanted some tips on my plant. This is my outdoor plant for 9 days and its been getting sun from 8am to 12pm for now because i heard to much DIRECT sunlight can kill the seedling. Is that true and if so should that be enough sunlight for now or should i give it more or less? The temperature is a good 80 degrees on a sunny day. Also i am using bottled water to water my plant and i am wanting to know when are the best times to water during the day. And when should i transplant into a bigger pot? The first couple of days of sprouting i noticed something was eating the plant and this is the only plant i have until i can get more seeds. Going be ok yah?! Any feedback would be appreciated.
Mahalo!
Mahalo!

you usually have to acclimate plants to full sunlight. i suggest partial shade for a few days then a 2 hours of full sunlight a few days. after about a week should be OK but every strain/environment is different.

Full sun light for a starter is fine for that little thing. Make sure soil stays moist. You wanna avoid clear or see threw containers as pots. Light kills roots, but you plant will suffer shock if you trans plant this early. Just wrap the container with duct tape or something.
sorry Random, can't say that I do..
sounds like your girls could use some Silica(Grotek) or Rhino Skin(AN) to make those stocks stronger?
I wanna take the time to dwell a bit more on local strains,landraces, & hybrids in Hawaii, especially Hawaii county. Plus touch on a bit more about Island pioneers/growers.
Okay, once again I wanna address the early pioneers who brought strains to the 808. One group of individuals we failed to mention the other day was military personal. My cousin returned from active duty in Viet Nam by way of Panama. He came home with two or three pounds stuffed inside his stereo speakers. So yeah, the military came home with al kines of goodies.
But with regard to surfers, we travelled in some pretty hairy places to get waves & smoke. My trip to Indo in the early 70's was beyond hairy. Same can be said about my trip to Ceylon(Sri Lanka)too. Both places I could have easily lost my life in the name of cannabis & surf! With regard to Indo, you only have had to seen the movie "The year of living Dangerously". My first trip to Grajigan(Java) was during this period. So if you've seen the movie, you get an idea what it was like. Got better to be there once Mike Boynum set up his surf camp there, kinda away from the war. With Ceylon, the two races of indeginous people were constantly fighting for control of country. Hairy fucking place,and a good place to get hit by a stray bullet too!
So you got all these different groups of people(hippies,military,surfers, and vacationers) coming to Hawaii bringing seeds in their pockets or luggage.
I have this theory that is pretty solid,and it goes like this. We all realize that with regards to strains, breeds tweak their work. It's like putting their stamp on their work. Another words like KKDay was talking about, "Diesel". Not all Diesels are created equal. That goes with pretty much all professional breeders. Another words Greenhouses "White Widow" is gonna taste different than the "White Widow" put out by Nirvana. But you take Greenhouses version of "White Widow",grown indoors at their faucilty, and put it next to White widow from GH grown on the Big Island, and let people choose which one they want after tasting both. I'm willing to bet that 8 outta ten will pick White Widow grown locally, over GH's version. I can't explain it. But all strains grown locally over time adapt to the enviornment, and in no time at all become local. This is my theory about Kona Gold, Puna Butter etc.,etc.. They were all once foreign strain to here. Meaning Thai eventually crossed with something else became say'Elephant".
Thinking back on my fried brain, Elephant use to have this nice Junipur/Licorice taste that I loved so much. As a youngster I use to go to the old "Beach Center" in Waikiki, one pocket filled with wax paper baggies .Three finger bags of Elephant for $20.00, and a brand new 'Country Surfboard', or 'Dick Brewer' under my other arm. This went on every weekend, it's how I made mines back then!!! Anyway, I'm pretty sure Elephant might have been a cross of two thai strains(Highland Thai, Juicy Fruit Thai). Just one day it was gone???
