I briefly dated a coasty chick that flew green harvest. They only go out with cops incase they crash. She said the pilots are crazy and fly dangerous. The dea has a couple small black helicopters and the sheriffs have a few small ones without a tail rotor, same as fire department uses. As far as I can tell they are only checking state/fed land.

The kali myst looks amazing, I am really looking forward to the smoke report on that one, have always wanted to try it but can't afford a $120 pack of them! Was that just a random seed or a selection from a pack or clone or what?

Hey grassified, it's nice to see you pop in. That plant was a clone from a fem pack of seeds I bought last December. I have two cuts running from that pack.

Smoke report: It's pretty much a perfect strain for me. It smells like spices and tastes the same when vaped but with the normal kind of weed flavor mixed in. I'm not a good judge for how weed tastes when smoked. I smoke more than I vape, but it all just tastes like burnt weed to me.

Anyway, it gives a great functional head high if you smoke your normal amount. I've read there is virtually no ceiling for Kali Mist, but I haven't tested it, though I have gotten pretty freaking high from it. I usually smoke during the day when I'm working (thank God for self-employment) and can get pretty blitzed, but there's a limit, I still have to be able to get my work done. But it doesn't slow me down and it wears off without making me feel tired. It makes me feel really good with no paranoia and I get really chatty and tend to talk really fast. If my customers didn't know me well enough they'd probably think I was on speed.

I don't know what else to say, but it's an easy plant to grow and has a great leaf to bud ratio so trimming is easy.

If I missed anything you want to know just ask.

that last storm fucked some shit up i bet for a lot of peepl
There's cards for four patients on the property my plants are on and when I went out the next morning, 11 of 12 flowering plants and 2 of 16 vegging plants were bent to the ground. Fortunately, I just had to prop and tie down all the plants to straighten them back up and only one branch actually broke, but at first sight I was using a few choice words.

But like you said, I bet that really messed some stuff up for some people especially if they had some big plants that weren't netted up really well.

Anyone no where da puna budder beans at? TH seeds the only ones that sell da strain? Sent em an email inquiring an they sent me a response,

Unfortunately for now Puna Budder is discharged. We will not have it any time soon.

All best,
THSeeds

So wats da deal? Surely it's not lost 4ever?
I know for a fact that there are still guys in Puna with Puna Budder seeds. You just got to the right people.

If you're on the B.I. especially the east side, ask the other growers you know over there, especially the uncles and someone should be able to point you in the right direction

Just wait till you smoke some proper grown authentic bubba kush, OG, or chem dog cut...that will change your perspective on flavor. A lot of people in Hawaii grow these strains out from beans and call them that but they really aren't the same pheno as the clone-only's, alot of times they are worlds apart.
My whole selection is based on flavor. Most weed gets me high eventually, but good flavor leaves a lasting impression and becomes something memorable that people will ask for by name. I like weed that tastes as good on the tail end of a roach as it did the first couple hits.

You may be right kalo about not having a lot of great flavored weed available, but I'm pretty sure I have a bad sense of taste too. I'm not a picky eater at all.

Fermented duck eggs? Just throw in some shoyu and rice and I'm on it.

Mealworms? No problem, just like the inside of a Kit-Kat.

Brains, liver, heart, lungs, stomach, throat glands (sweet breads), tongue, feet from some random animal? Sure, why not?

The only thing I've eaten that I couldn't handle was a preserved radish that I thought was in the snack section at an Asian (mostly Filipino) food market. I opened it in the van and it smelled like straight up garbage and tasted like salt with a bit of garbage mixed in. My wife was begging me to throw it away and it didn't take too much persuasion.

Anyway, my point is that it might have to do more with me than my plants.

I actually do have a couple plants that get good compliments on smell and taste and they're potent too. Bay 11 from Ken Estes and Kali Bubba from Serious Seeds people really like.

Thanks for the advice though. You're just driving the point home for me that patients want good tasting, good smelling strains above anything else. I pick strains for myself based on type and quality of the high then potency, then smell, then taste then looks and it's almost bass ackwards from what everybody else wants. I'd say the average patient doesn't care that much about type and quality of the high or even the potency that much. Most just want to smoke something that smells and tastes like a fruity cereal gasoline black cherry soda, which is fine, I just have to switch everything up.

fruity cereal gasoline black cherry soda---- hahaha, that's why i went with tga beans. people love the smell and taste
I've heard that suggestion recently. I let a friend of mine try some of my Malawi and he was like, "It's okay" and I was like, "What? It's plenty potent and it's got a good high." Anyway, he didn't like the smell and look (and taste too probably) of it and suggested I grow some TGA gear. That was my moment of epiphany about what everybody else wants. I have a pretty good reason to believe that my Malawis are more potent than most any TGA strain, but it doesn't taste like dessert. Too bad to, because I like the way the Malawi smells. It's intriguing like arm pit odor, ha ha. I can't quite put my finger on it and I keep coming back to it going, "What is that smell?" I settled on it smelling like seasoned hamburger grease, parsley and honey, but that might change. I don't think my sense of smell is really good either. I've had my nose broken 18 or 19 times so that could've affected my olfactory system a bit. On the surprising upside though, my nose looks fine, ha ha.

Thanks for the info on the Mickey Kush. I know there are strains that are the whole package. I'd say my Bay 11 and Kali Bubba are and everybody likes them plus they do well in my wetter climate. Since I only grow outdoors I'm somewhat limited since it has to handle rain and humidity well, but I know Bodhi has some great stuff and he breeds for his humid coastal climate so his stuff is next on the list.

And I've only been in one real scrap in my life (if you don't count my brother, though he broke it a couple of times) and I didn't even get hit, but I played plenty rough when I was younger and started martial arts when I was nine and wrestled too. I competed in Tae Kwon Do, kickboxing, wrestling and ju jitsu and eventually got into MMA and even had a few pro fights on the mainland and one title shot. All of that plus a big beautiful beak equal a lot of broken noses

And thanks Dyna, for the offer on getting a cut of the Mickey Kush. The chances of me coming over there are really slim though, but if you ever come to Maui I'll hook you up with any of my cuts too.

Sorry wasn't trynna come across like a dick. I realized after I posted that you could've had a problem with your sense of smell or taste. My friend I knew since elementary school days passed away earlier this year and he had no sense of taste or smell for a few years before. I had to kind of put myself in a different mindset when we would share weed and blaze cuz it was all about potency with him.

It will be nice to have a legitimate medical scene in HI so we can have access to cannabis testing.

Hey kalo, I didn't take any offense to anything you said at all. You're cool with me braddah. I've got friends over here with some good cuts too and I never notice flavors even if they have a good strong smell, but again, it might be that I haven't had much (or any) weed where the smell carries over to the taste or my sense of taste sucks (highly probable) or I'm not very observant (also probable).

I'll find out pretty soon. I've got some new seeds to start which are supposed to be good in the taste department: THSeeds Sage 'n' Sour, Bodhi's Goji OG, Purple Voodoo (bred by a friend in the northeast) and a couple of others that I don't recall at the moment. Also, Bodhi is letting me test a Jamaican x OG cross of his and he might have me test out some Hawaiian crosses that he said should be ready in a couple of weeks which I assume should have some good taste since I hear his strains are pretty solid in all departments except maybe yield for at least some of his strains.

I haven't tried the Goji OG yet, but oldhaole and Greyskull (some kama'aina here who are on icmag) have grown it here and they made a Goji OG x Skunk Dog (locally bred strain, not Skunk Dawg) they called Scogi which is pretty great and very popular with their people, but I still didn't notice much taste. And I tried some of oldhaole's Goji OG honey oil which they said tasted awesome and still no taste, so I guess it's just me.
