Hawaii Growers

Nothing really brother. Just legality.

As far as all the hydro shop drama I seem to have started, I don't get where all the hate is coming from. It seems counter culture to me. Ya know, peace, love, and all that. When I was putting my system together, Green Hands had better pricing on an NFT setup and nutes, while Ohana had better prices on UFOs and grow tents (plus they had em in stock). Green Hands also hosted free classes, which were very helpful for me being totally new to the scene. Sure, Aaron tried to sell stuff at the classes, but he is trying to run a business and make a living after all... Can't condemn a man for that at all. And I highly doubt either Tom or Aron tried to rep a 2700k light as being blue, or a veg light... That's just sillyness.

Ohana is a good store too no doubt. I haven't had a bad experience at either store really, and I've spent quite a bit of time at each doing research and what not. I did notice they come from different schools of thought as far as their recommended methods though. Aron is an LED/coco/NFT guy and Christie (at Ohana) was recommending HPS/hydroton/ebb-n-flow. It's just different ways of doing the same thing really.

when I was a kid, Zoos were on the bottom of my list. As a guerilla grower since 73, I think these shops are mostly bullshit! Run by price gouging people who are usually new to the area. Sure, as a business owner, or front man. He wants to make a profit. But if you wanna make a healthy profit in Hawaii. He should have bought a 7/11 store, or a "Subway". Hydro stores are gonna be mostly have newbies in them cause they don't know better. Of these newbies, over 60% 0r more is probably medical cannabis patients...fucking sick people! You wanna turn a profit on a sick person? Just for the record, I'm also against taxing cannabis too for the very same reason! Why tax the sick for their meds?

Sheck, any news on Hilo situation for you and your friend? Also, with all those wonderful strains. Have you come across any "Blue Diesel(Blue Dream X Sour Diesel, or Headband)" beans in your travels? I'd sure like to get my "dickskinners" on some!?!?

Puna Bud

Puna Bud~
Headband I can get of clones of back in Cal... Would have to make S1s of that one...
My good friend that runs Cornerstone Research co-op in LA carries DJ short seeds.. thats as close as I can get to the Blue Diesel...
Friend tells me that DJ Short's son has some incredible blueberry strain.. something something Ranch hehe

Looking at 2 Orchidland lots at the moment... Thanks again for giving me some direction on the areas in Puna... Really liked that area when I checked it out!!

Aloha's All, Hope everybody is well medicated
Working with a mostly Idica strain I'm calling Brain Damage, "Test" Batches are looking awesome.
Should have my own garden back up and running soon, Then back to the breeding program.
My tincure has gotten the Green Thumbs up at Every party so far, I must be doing something right .........

I have to find strains that will my belly feel better..
Too bad only a few of you like indica dominant strains..

RK how is the Ape Dawg doin?

Click to expand...

damn I envy you with a rotation of criip like that to smoke! My bro suffers from stomach problems too, smoking is the only thing that helps him, both with the pain and the appetite. I got some Ortega coming up, supposed to be a indica dominant strain, anybody ever sample some of that? or grow em?

Please enlighten us noobs as to where we could pick up our growing supplies locally if not in these hydro stores or the other big box stores youre so opposed to? You shop at grocery stores dont you? Are you telling me the 6700k cfl's i picked up at costco for less than half the cost as online stores are inferrior to the ones I could have bought online? Home depot and lowes provide a service same as these hydro stores, of course they will mark the items up, they have overhead and other costs associated with running a business and providing us the convience of having a local store to drive to when you need something. Prices are what they are and the market will dictate that. Do your research and you'll know where the good and bad buys are. If someone pays double the amount for an item they could have gotten someplace else thats their dumbass fault. A simple search online could have given them a good baseline price for the item they were shopping for. You seem to feel that its unfair for them to turn a profit on your patronage. Thats the way the world works.

A few pages back some guy new to the forums simply asked a question about where to pick up grow lights. You tore into him for absolutely no reason that I could see other than because he went to Home Depot to look for lights. Then told him to think "outside the box" and to go search for his lights on craigslist. Thats hardly outside the box. I personally looked on craigslist for a couple of weeks before I bought my lights and didnt find anything that I could use for my situation. You could probably look at 10 different grow rooms/tents/cabinets adn see 10 different lighting setup's. To only shop on craigslist for somebodies hand-me-down lights seems like youre shooting yourself in the foot.

A guerilla grower since 73? Seems like youre an old fart set in your ways and refuses to learn any new tricks. You may have had a bad experience with a hydro store, fine. But to label them all as shit and to say anybody that shops there is a noob that doesnt know his shit is just retarded. These places are one stop shopping for us, seems pretty silly not to use their services. Maybe you should smoke a little more and chill out before you visit the forums and tear into new growers. I doubt you popped out of your mom knowing how to grow the crip.

Keep it civil please!

use the ignore feature if you wish =) it's located in each users profile.

it's a free market, to each their own

Ortega is supposedly Northern Lights x Pakastani Hash Plant... I've purchased it from Co-ops when I lived in LA, but it didn't stick out in particular...
It should be a great med for your brother

aloha my dear, aunty here. i have been running a strain names Brain Damage for 2 seasons. just took some clones yesterday. the bugga starts to turn a slight purple towards the end. really like this smoke. not sure if it is the same as the one your running. got it from K.C. seeds, i think. good luck.

AWUE !!!!!! Aunty was my own cross of Ortega indica ,Blueberry and trainwreck.
I was lucky nuff to live at house where I could do my own breeding last year I allready named her befrore checking if the name was taken.......OOPS !!
Mine turns purps to if the conditons are right too....


Going to be starting up soon hopefully.
I saw a redwood greenhouse they are custom building in Kona @ Ohana Green house That looks very promising.
Thing is I want to put "some kind" rigid panels on the exterior that no can see tru but light can pass thru.
The plan is to Make it airtight for a AC unit and things.....

Anybody know where I can find what I'm looking for? Big Island would be better.

Mahalo's

I hate trainwreck...
But that's what happens when you just grow one strain and end up having to smoke it for months

trainwreck is tasty, over it for now tho

all about that BK!!!!!!!

Holy Moses, you mean I am not the only person growing on these islands?? I live in between upstate NY and Puna. I am going to college at Cornell University. I stay up here until the end of may then go back to hawaii until september. HOWEVER, because I flunked out of a class that I need to graduate next year, I am stuck here in this shitty ass state of NY until next may...Yeah BLOW....I miss my South Shore Waves...Miss surfin so bad I cant stand it. I hate it with a passion.

So, if you guys could be easy on me, and refrain from talking about how great the surf is. I hope it snows until I get back there Well I am glad to meet others that are into cultivation when I get back home. Bongs Away, and Aloha. Treat her well, she the only spot that I have left that is still beautiful.
