heh, after talkin 2 ya b4 i went in and tied a top with some garden tie and my forarm brushed a kona cola....hehe my arm fuckin STANK somethin glorious, reminded me of haze. kinda astringent like is the best way to describe it.

thanks for checkin in ralph, hope yours have started to do somethin, the #1 is a tough cookie but in complete health/larger space it'll yield huge for ya.. and some sticky, danky stanky, old school hawaiian nugs.

be well my friend.

here's a few that do this vintage heirloom some justice..

Yield on the Kona is far better than expected, the flower time can be compensated for by running from clone in a multiple-single-cola setup (SOG).

this plant, when grown right, will produce some serious baseball bats...and tons of em!!
the branching pattern is insane!
All lateral growth stay tight to the stem until mid-flower when the force of the buds plumping slightly spreads them apart. If anyone has a book called 'The Good Bud Guide" by Albie, turn to page 150. KG's branching pattern is right on point with his old SSH, and his description characterizes the KG growth pattern to a Tee.

this particular plant (in 1.5 Gallons of peat/perlite) will outyield the sour creek growing right next to her under the same lamp in a whopping SEVEN gallons of soil! These Konas aint even under the main part of the footprint!

i love this plant
be well

Ahoy Cap'n! Just out of curiousity, how did you acquire the Kona? Is it seed from a hybrid cross or is this an unadulterated clone your growing? It would be interesting to know the background of the genes. Thanks!

Rellik
this be a vintage Big Island 'IBL' grailplant which i aquired through a friend in her passing, she was terminally ill and her last vacation was a trip to Kona where she met with some local old schoolers who in compassion for her condition, sold her beans of this gem for $10.00 each. (which is where these plants came from)

no crosses here rellik, other than whatever was originally used to create it decades ago..

(only thing i have ever heard on it's lineage, which i have my doubts about, yet makes the most sense, is thai x columbian gold..plz don't quote me on that tho i am not sure/it is just hearsay i found on the internet)

ps- i like your sig you should read some of george wahington carver's quotations i believe they can be found on www.brainyquote.com , i will paraphrase one for ya 99 perent of the failures in the world come from people that have a habit of making excuses

be well my friend

to answer any and all pm's on this, it's not available commercially and should be considered "clone-only" status at this point, until we find some males in the dwindling seed population.. and there are no guarantees, but plenty of F1 hybrids in the works as we speaksince theres little to no interest in the thread here, i wont even bother listing what i have lined up, so if there is any interest, lmk and i will share:smile:

be well

Aloha Captain!
Well seeing your Kona was enough to get me off my duff to register — seems only fitting that I reply here with my 1st post.

Hawaiian strains have always seemed so exotic to me. They bring back memories of walking along the Bonzai Pipline at sunset, blazing... & then forgetting which way was home... haha

Best of luck on your hybrid projects.. as well as finding a Kona male!

Cheers!

Hey, thanks for the reply, Itchycoo

welcome to the site and yes, findin the right Kona male will be my focus in the coming months.

thanks again for your interest in the Hawaiian strains, the KG has a certain aloha flavor thats truly unforgettable and unique as far as i'm concerned. It'll be a real treat to taste her fully ripe

be well
