I have a question for you if you could help fill me in. I spent a couple of years in Hawaii in 77/78/79/80 back and forth. Then visited as a tourist in 87/88/89/90 I've been on all major island except Lanai. Now the question....Without supplemental lighting and todays tech, how is it that I was smoking killer weed just about year long as I can remember? I knew zip on growing as did most of us back then but we never seemed to be out of weed. As a tourist in the 80's I got it off the peddy cab drivers or bar tenders in March/April There must be a strain that grows very well in Hawaii & elsewhere with your climate.& sunlight hours.

" or they grew sativa hybrids that would get big even if done planted straight out in our 12/12 year round schedule " that's what I'm talking about, I'm pretty sure they were not using supplemental lighting. I could be wrong but as I said I didn't grow it but I smoked a whack of weed without many droughts I can remember. I worked for Windjammer cruises for a while out of Honolulu & I sure do miss the sun & fun in Hawaii sometimes...Nov - April...yearly. lolThe main thing with hawaii is theres a ton of different microclimates. kona vs hilo is night and day different, or even bigger yet, Molokai vs the other islands. Growing wet tropical side vs dry side is worlds apart. there are strains that do good, but you gotta be in the right microclimate. But even still, many of the old timer grower used veg side lighting to keep in veg, or they grew sativa hybrids that would get big even if done planted straight out in our 12/12 year round schedule
Sweet, Oahu grower here.Hey, I’m born and raised on oahu, spent my summers with family on molokai, now live in Hilo for about 9 years. Smoke crips from all. Haha. Finally got my medical card.
I have a background in botany/horticulture and have a lot of experience growing plants other than cannabis. I have done some non serious grows over the years. But, I consider myself on my first grow.
Here is what I got at the moment, about 3 weeks into flower: View attachment 1153506
My thought that I would be able to grow nice buds outdoors in containers without much effort is rapidly fading. It has been raining too much in Hilo. I work full time and am just growing for fun as I don’t smoke much and prefer to vape cartridges or eat edibles. So I am not trying to move plants around daily to stay away from the rain.
Also, I didn’t realize that Hawaii doesn’t really have any good season for natural photoperiod, or really no season at all. Plants will flower immediately after being put out at the mercy of natural light.
I am intrigued by growing indoors, but don’t really want to spend the money on equipment. And I really don’t have the space or time to be moving plants indoors under artificial light on a daily basis for veg.
My plan at this point is to grow with whatever nature provides. Am I confined to small plants that flower immediately outdoors? Or any other general advice? Thanks for any help.
Nice. I look foward to your posts. I know you have a wealth of experience to share.Puna
