I had a long ass paragraph introducing myself and giving some of my background but I somehow deleted it! Smh. Fuck! So this is gonna be much shorter.
How's it goin everyone? I've recently moved back to Hawaii and live on the Hilo/Puna side of the big island. I've been reading and doing some research on here along with other forum sites and trying to gain some knowledge on growing here on the big island(puna/hilo) I was really intimidated about growing here due to the very unique weather that permits us to grow year round here. I've done some research about Hawaiian landrace strains and their ability to thrive here.. I've got an acre and a half of land to be utilized. I've talked to and seen a few growers and the sets ups used out here and have made the choice to start my own small DIY greenhouse. its going to be a 10 maybe 12x20 carport frame with 6mil plastic for roofing. The grows I've seen here they just leave the side walls and ends open but I'm not comfortable with that. I was thinking maybe put some fencing and then some screening behind that to keep bugs and rats out but still utilize the openness for air flow and to keep it cooler.. just with a bit more protection from the things they'd be exposed to here. Using the UFO style leds for light sup depending on the time of year since its November and I'm in "short season" and it always rains where I'm at or looks like its always gonna rain most days. I'd really like to get opinions, ideas, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, personal experiences and tips from of you that have grown successful meds in a tropical setting that's wet.. preferably right here on this side of the big island.
If you have any tips or suggestions or there is anything you would like to ask or have questions about.. Shoot em. I'm trying to gain as much knowledge and info that's possible. Mahalo.
