They're getting culled tonight! The other KO Kush plant is getting sick! This plant won't even make on my compost pile...its going straight into the rubbish. Meanwhile the Bubba/Pure Kush plants are killing it.!They were started bout 7 days after the KO Kush and they have now surpassed the KO Kush in size, health, and vigor. I really don't know what the deal is with Sannies gear, it could be my fault, it could be Sannies. I'm not placing any blame just sharing my experience, needless to say it was a $100 lesson learned. Out of 20 beans (2 different strains) I don't have a single plant worth a fuck! 20 beans 17 didn't germ, the 3 that did germ, 2 got sick and one is a mutant.

Not even worthy of composting.lol

I know how you feel that happened to me with a order from nirvana awhile back, 30 seeds. Only got 5 to pop and they were fucking sickly, like some Hill Have Eyes deformities. You get what you pay for though.

I'm stoked with my results, way better than the crap i've been ordering. More hardy, with nice vigor so far just like you mentioned. All my SSH x Cheese crosses popped. Also, threw in some plushberry crosses in that germinated just fine in 48 hours, but only one Romberry came up.

Coot man, sorry to see and hear about your problems with the Sannie gear. It wasn't that long ago,maybe a year. Plenty people here were singing high praises to Sannie's gear. I wonder what went wrong? I was reading on another forum of other's having a problem with Sannie's gear too. Coots, perhaps it's time to change breeders that you use? Whatever way you go I know you'll come out on top of it.

okay, I cleared out all my plants from last grow. THis is what I have going now from left to right: Platinum OG X OG, NYC HP-13 X Joseph OG, NYC HP-13 X Joseph OG, NYC HP-13 X Joseph OG, Aloha White Widow X OG, and again NYC HP-13 X Joseph OG. If you know anything about the NYC-HP-13, then you know it's one of those highly regarded, elite cuttings. The closeup shots are from the 11th day of flowering. Plus I have four Colombian Gold X Urkle in red dixi cups. They just broke soil four days ago.

You know Puna I've had really good luck with Sannies gear up until now, and i still think Sannie is a decent breeder (for knock off/budget strains). It's hard to say what when wrong, the BK/PK is blowing up, nothing has really changed in my veg environment, everything is the same, the seeds were stored in the same environment too.

All my breeder drama faded rather quickly this afternoon my Goji, & Deam Lotus finally arrived i almost pissed myself like a little school girl when i opened up the mail box...heh heh heh. I'm such a retard, I thought I scored a free pack of Blue Lotus, at first I was convinced it was a gift from the canna gods, saying here's a bone for the fucked up Sannnies gear, turns out it was part of the promo ...fuck i'm dingy bastard sometimes..lol

nice plants guys, heres some plants i picked up from the local dispensary lol loaded with PM but they are going outdo after being cloned/vegged indo, not from me or they wouldn't have PM. that sort of thing goes away with all the rain we have here. i could have sulfur burned them when they came, but fuckit. should be a nice little last part of short season treat. not sure what the genetics are but the guy usually runs with local widow and blueberry crosses. traded 1/4 of the shiznit MK for them. not too bad a deal if i must say so myself, no $ involved, gotta love that shit. alright. aloha

Aloha! I've been back. Hows that PK? Never tried either of those strains before, I grew one HP before but it was unfortunately stolen by the five-o.

That NYC HP looks sticky! I have a Romulan x Blueberry that just popped outta the dirt about four days ago, I've heard how much you love BB. lol

Howzit going my fellow kanaks...

I hope everyone is well, as it seems so.

I just wanted to ask if anyone here composts? I've been trying to find some composting worms with little luck. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

If I understand correctly it's illegal to bring in red buggas from the mainland and Rainbow Hilo Worms doesn't seem to want to answer me.

Hope everyones 2013 started wonderfully.

I used to dig them out of my garden and throw them into my worm bins, worked great until i realized my veggie garden is essentially a giant worm bin. When i need castings i take a scoop from my garden.

Not to be a smartass or anything, but I read worms you'd typically dig up in soil are known as "earthworkers". A type of worm that is known to reproduce slowly, not process large amounts of organic matter and prefer to burrow deeper than composting worms (problematic for worm bins which need to remain fairly shallow). These are all characteristics that "composting" worms possess (quick reproduction, fast processing of organic matter and they linger near the surface, etc.).

I read these things in "Worms Eat My Garbage" by Mary Appelhof.

I dug a bunch of worms out from under my avocado tree but it turns out they all slowly die in my worm bins (the contents of which should be ideal for worms!). There are a couple stragglers left, but they are small and seemingly stressed.

Thank you kindly for the reply, Cooter!

Do a simple test...water your ground thoroughly, place a bunch of wet newspaper on top of your soil, in the early morning go out and dig a few inches under the wet paper (Sometimes you don't even have to dig them up the worms will be on the surface) If you see any worms those are the ones you want, there should be two different species lingering around some are blue(ish) and the other species is kinda red(ish). If you already have a compost pile established you'll most defiantly find them cruising around the surface. If the worms are eating the compost/wet news paper then they're composting worms, whether or not they're suitable for bins is another story...i never had any die and i eventuality released them back into my garden. I top my garden twice a year with composts and i have a shit ton of worms in my garden. Keep in mind it may take awhile for the worms to find your newspapers but once they do you should be golden

Great advice. I'm going to give it a shot, Cooter. Thank you!

Attract the right worms, sounds simple enough.

If that dont work I can hook you up with a couple handfuls.

Man, I have the worst of luck with any attitude freebies I've tried. I cant get none to pop. Everything that wasn't free usually germs within 24 hours for me.
