Question, what strain has anyone here grown that did NOT like our Hawaii climate? and why? Mold? insects?

For me I had 2 White Russians and other strains. The White Russian got devoured by spidermites and got mold, the ones next to it didn't.

Waiakeauka~Thanks for the Reply,
Just picked up the latest issue of SKUNK and they got a nice article on "Organic Soil Mix Version 2.1"
Any comments/experience on the two differnt Soil mixes?

Where to go for Soft Rock Phosphate(powdered),
GYPSUM(powdered),
powdered Dolomite Lime, Prilled Fast-Acting Dolomite Lime
"Crushed Oyster Shells",
Zeolite?

What is a good K ammendment?

In Hilo there is a Agricultural Coop that has a warehouse that is open to the public called Farm Supply Coop. They carry a lot of organic fertilizers and also has both liquid and powdered Humic Acid, Azomite, Soil Revitalizer, Dolomite Ag 10 and 65, Hydrated Lime, and almost everything else that you would need.

Also, could you please post the Soil Recipe that was in the Skunk Magazine? I tried to find it online but didnt have any luck.

I thought I would put in my 2 cents on how I deal with Mold. Living on this island with normally high humidity i've found that when I grow my medical plants leaving a top cola = Mold.

What I do is veg indoors. I grow it in veg until its around 16" tall. Then I top them. I then let it go another week so that its not stressed in the beginning of Flowering. Also in Veg I have them under 24/7 light. This causes them to get wider, and makes the arms very tall. Then when I see about 10-16 arms standing up I then put it outside to flower.

Outside it will stretch like crazy because it had no dark period. Then the plant is covered wiht approx 12 tops which are smaller but more of them. This spreads out what was going to be one big cola among the many tops.

I've found many advantages to doing it this way. First off If there IS mold it will be in one of the many arms, so I can remove that and still have tops available. Also it allows for easier storage in a jar than just one big cola with a few side popcorn buds. It also allows me to seed here and there and still have unpollenated tops. Also if disease hits a stem I can remove that area.

This is how i'm going to grow all future strains. Originally I was anti-topping stress to plants, but after main colas with mold, I am a topper from now on. Plus it just looks beautiful.

My advice if you are dealing with mold in your buds.

this soil recipe is almost exactly the one I got from Subcool via HT. Like I said, time and time and time again I'd have to give the soil a jolt of outside nutes to keep plant growing properly, at a respectable rate of growth. I'm a organic dirt farmer. I know through years of growing, I cannot out produce "Joe Shmoe" over there who's using 'salts' to grow with. I also know that as a 'dirt farmer', that my products is going to market weeks after Joe Shmoe over there who grew his crop hydroponically at the same time as my soil grow. I'm a true organic grower, meaning I use the sun mostly. Even though I know an 8 X 8 room setup under either 4 600 watts HPS or even two thousand watt HPS lights are gonna visually kick the shit outta my outdoor grow of an equal space. But I grow organically for one reason and one reason only. I love the mellow taste of all the surroundings that grew with my cannabis plant. I love the fact that once I cut my plant down I'm smoking a med quality herb within days. I NEVER FLUSH MY PLANTS!!!! I'd like to see you 'Miracle Gro Dogs', pull that off with your magical blue salts.

Oh, an about Elephant. I seriously doubt that it's around anymore,but I'm an optimist too. But like I said before. I believe that the real Elephant genetics died out before 1980-. It's hayday in Hawaii was the early 70's. Then more than like met it's death somewhere around 1974 to 1976-77. At this time 'Operation Greenharvest' was just starting up. So surely these huge beautiful sativas were the first to be seen from the skies. Truly Elephant & Golden Voice were the first two hybrids strains to the Hawaiian Shores. 'Golden Voice' & 'Ligtning Bolt', were the two strains that bank rolled Porter & Gerry Lopez. Which profits eventually were used to create Lightning Bolt Surfboards. I always thought it was a cool idea when Gerry & Porter decided to call their surf company 'Ligtning Bolt', after their bread winner! But both of these quickly faded with the advancement of Op.Greenharvest. Which perfect makes sense when you think about it. Cops are fucking lazy by nature,, so they'd only be looking out for tall beautiful swaying sativas. Besides, Indicas hadn't made it to the Hawaiian party at this point in time yet....or at the very least they were of just novelty status.

I've had good luck with Kellogg’s patio plus, it has a lot of good organic amendments built into it....if you use it be sure to mix in some extra perlite.

I have used Niu, and it worked great. However, I mixed it with Light Warrior as it is really wet and needs some perlite and peat-moss mixed in . I have also used Black Gold organic, mixed with N'Rich, some extra worm castings and bone meal. All found at Wally world for relatively cheap.

Brah, what are you, a "broke dick grower"? Whoever taught you how to grow forgot to tell you that cutting corners in a cannabis grow will show in the end product. But if you on a real tight budget, I suggest the "Black Gold" soil,..and good luck!

Couldn't agree more! High quality grow = high quality pakalolo.

+2. There are plenty of resources for good soil if you are on Oahu. There are a few locations that sell Roots or FFOF if you are so inclined. Well worth the couple extra $$ to ensure a quality grow.

Yeah- and to further complicate things you can just as easily spend 400 bucks on snake oil additives too- less is more, but only to a point. I'm almost afraid to ask- but what exactly does "broke dick grower" mean- and What's a nubian? LOL
