I wish drinking from the streams was as cool as it should be here- but don't you worry about leptospirosis? It's been getting bad the last decade- especially in Oahu. When I attended the "hunter Safety class" (for gun permit) they really scared me about that saying it's really common in the tested water samples out here. Usually from a little pig/rat shit that the rain washes the runoff into the streams. The guy told me he grew up here and you couldn't pay him to even swim in it anymore or wade through it, cuz apparently those little corkscrew suckers can screw themselves in your bloodstrean through the bottoms of your feet even...

Yeah, you definitely have to be careful what you put in your mouth, but I actually rarely drink fron the rivers and only when there has been alot of rain and I know the pest level of that area. When I was a kid I didn't care though and have almost always lived around livestock so I got lepto early and think I might be immune now. One of my employees who worked side-by side with me got giardia couple years back, he was hating it.....nothing like waiting six months to attend a frigging hunter safety class huh?

Dude, I was growing the yellow ones- a volunteer that I took care of actually, but I had tons of those red striped passion caterpillers with the harmless black spikes- ate the crap out of them. I Put some in a terrarium and fed them till they made pupas and only a few days later they made beautiful butterflies. FYI- they're not born poisonous, but passiflora has large amounts of cyanide in the leaves and green fruits and the caterpillars concentrate it and keep it in their system for life as predator protection- hence the red warning. Do you get a bunch on these too? At first I thought they were those stinging ones that are a new invasive species- they look somewhat similar.

Don't know my bugs very well, need to study more. Do you hunt much? Hike much?

Wow, "B-boy", them girls looks real nice! Those girls been growning indoors under what, and for how long? Don't I have something to look forward too. How do you compare the TW's to the other stuff you're growing like the C-99 "B"?

As you can see, my TW's are only in keiki stage still.. Keep up the good work, Surfdout

Picture on left is Trainwreck X Bubba Kush. Center Pic is trainwreck X 707, TW XBubba Kush,and last pic, Trainwreck X 707. 707 , for those who don't know is a clone only version of 'Headband'.

Hey Mon,

Hope all is well! Been lurking hard on the south shore for ya...Plants look great! The Tw's in the pics were started indoor, but have been in the sun for a month or so. The c-99 were beautiful plants, but didn't choke me out like I like. I'll probably run all the Twxs again soon and make some seeds, the afgooey ones look the best so far but I didn't get the 707s up yet.

I took the same course and they made a point of it not to drink the water from the streams. I just sat there listened didn’t say much…at the end of the class one of the other class members ask me what I’ll be hunting…Straight facing him I stated “I’ll be hunting humans!…any unwelcomed humans trespassing on my property will be shot in the face” …lol…The guy simply turned around and I didn’t hear another peep out of him! I laughed all the way home!

What was also amazing about that whole process was the amount of people who took the class and failed. Who spends a whole weekend sleeping through a course like that just too fail the test….it was a simple test for fuck sake! I really felt for those who wanted to take the course, but had to wait because Uncle LoLo thought they’d pass him for just showing up!
 
Does anyone know the strains that make the Gods Gift that is circulating in Hawaii? The Gods Gift that I am familiar with is a cross of OG Kush and Grand Daddy Purple is no way near the same strain that is called Gods Gift in Hawaii.

I love to hike- and especially in the islands- it's my kind of scenery. I never got into hunting much even though I'd love to. I love venison! Never did much with a rifle- but I can nail a hovering humming bird from a fair distance with a pellet gun- lol not much of a meal tho...

Wow- well hope it doesn't ever cause you a problem - it is really cool to be connected with the land like that and not feel reliant only on processed water. They told me drinking after a fresh rain was a double edged sword, as the water is fresher, but more poop gets washed into it from the land... Yeah, the wait for that class was sort of a joke. I suppose it helps keep people from running out and buying a gun implusively when they have an issue with their neighbor. I am glad this state doesn't seem to have nearly as many shootings as some other places like California.

LOL- on what u told the guy in the class... And yeah, must be a real bummer to fail after all the trouble. Most people just want a gun permit, but I'm always up for learning somethin new- although the presentation could use alot more excitement- it reminded me why I hated school so much growing up...

Tunda gave me a cut of what he was told was the God's Gift that was circulating about 8 months back...
It's actually the Katsu Cut of Bubba but it's a pure indica..
I have kept this cut going and I dumped my Cali Connection Pre98 Bubba.... (It's most likely that Swerve just used the Katsu cut and crossed it with his sfv og male to create Pre98 Bubba)
Will post a pic if you want...

Good chance that this strain might not be what others on Oahu are calling Gods gift...
 
I tried some God's Gift last year on the beach from some guy who said he grew it. It smoked and looked more sativa dom, lime green.

Yeah, lets see the Katsu. Heard CC's Pre 98 Bubba was good, but never tried her. Didn't think it was crossed with SFV though, do you think his new Chem4 is gonna be any good? His reg beans labeled Chem4 are Chem4Og x Chem4 and his Femmed Chem4 is S1, or at least thats what I though he said. How do you like Chem 4 vs Chem D?

His chems are top notch because I'm pretty sure he got a clone of the Chem 91 from Chemdog himself..
Majority of his strains for the last 3 years are a result of him getting insane clones and crossing them with his prized SFV Og Male...

I remember you mentioning getting a few types of og last year (regular beans)... something like Tahoe Og, Deadhead Og, Lemon Larry? etc... All those og's were crossed with SFV og...
That Chem4Ogx Chem4 is most likely crossed witht the sfv og...
If I were you, I would get the Chem4 S1... and reverse that White S1 ... and make your own cross..

The Chem4 is insane... It shares the same potency as the Chem D, but it is considered much harder to smoke..
What I mean by that is that the smell and flavor is so heavy that at times it can be overpowering.. I don't think the term harsh is a good word, because there is nothing negative about the experience..
You take a big bong hit and it's the kine where you often end up blowing out your lungs from the expansion and coughing a bunch.
You will actually notice a lot of breeders will cross a Chem with another strain that is sweeter and easier to smoke... Hoping to get that potency with more smokability..
lol only analogy I can think of is a coffee one.. but I don't drink coffee.... :)
But if you are a regular coffee drinker, its nice once in a while to have a nice strong espresso. But if you were drinking espresso all the time, it would be too much..

For example.. the Ape Dawg I got from Dr. Candyman is the Chem 2008 (Chem D) crossed with Purple Ape which is considered very sweet (grapey) relative of GDP... ( most true purple strains are known for not being as potent as their regular indica counterparts..) Putting these 2 strains together gives you the potential for finding a pheno that has the strength of Chemdawg and the sweet flavor of grape that is easy to smoke!!!!!

I miss Fatburger, Zankou chicken, El Pollo Loco, and any Mexican food...

Serious- the Mexican food is a joke here. I just make my own and all my friends always ask about when I'm gonna make it to invite them- so I guess i do a pretty good job hehe. I Usually make chile verde, tacos, chili rellenos, enchiladas. And I've tried tamales once fairly successfully, but the one thing I really wanna try is use my rotisserie on the bbq and bust out some el pastor meat. I really miss a restaurant called "Don Jose's" and also "King taco" for anyone who's ever had the pleasure...
