Gonna move to Hawaii would like advice on where? Which Island is best for growing or plus and minus for each island. Overall opinions on Hawaii market and growing lifestyle.

I don't live there, but if it were me, I would go to the Big Island.

41hope · 08-19-2011, 01:17 PM

Big Island's population is only 45,000 or so with 4,600 or so MJ license seems like 10% of residents are growing. Crime seems pretty bad there and cops probably know who is growing. I'd like to know if this is the best island to grow or is it due to the cheaper rent?

Here's the breakdown from a slightly bias point of view....

Kauai is a beautiful island. Very old leached out soil. not many permits there. A market exists. Pretty wet island....very green. There is a dry side, but mostly the island is wet.

Oahu has a million people jammed into 500+ sq miles. Too many rips....They never grow enough so there is a big demand.

Big Island. Bigger than all the rest of the state put together. Weed everywhere. No market except export. Land is cheap. but you have a live volcano or two and you don't want to live downwind or downslope of that puppy. Permits are easy to get, but the island is big as Hawaii goes. East Hawaii (where land is cheapest) has a wild wild west atmosphere.

Maui county....Consists of three inhabited islands and 1 uninhabited. Lanai is too dry and full of deer and sheep. Molokai....you can grow, but the Hawaiians probably won't like you. A lot of Militant Hawaiians there. They are determined to keep the island as backwards as they can. No jobs.

Now Maui.... We have the best beaches. Great soil, not too old and leached out. Not too many people, so there's is a market. Second biggest island. Wide variety of microclimates. They still grow sugar, and that's a great place to grow a crop on the sly. There are jobs, but the whole state runs 20% or more to live here vs the mainland.

Whatever island you pick....we ain't the mainland. We grow far better weed, but the whole vibe is different than the mainland. Things move slower. Go along...you get along.
Draw attention to yourself...you get beat down. Were Islands....hard to run and hide here.

I like to fish, hunt, mountain bike anything in the water which Island has best activities? I'm an indoor guy probable wont go out door way things are currently. How are the cops? Are they flying around with infrared? Also my plan is to rent any advice? Type of house, neighborhood, is it better to be in the country?
I truly appreciate your help.

How does outdoor potential differ between Maui & Big Island? Which Island can I meet intelligent, experienced, genuine growers the ones who have the trophy strains? I'm a Botany major in college and I want to learn from the best or pushed to keep up with them/

The University of Hawaii has a pretty good ag program. Seek out some of those people and they will hook you up. I know from experience. Just be real damn careful, you fuck with the wrong people and you will end up dead. Those Hawaiian and Samoan boys do not play.

Shit...Let's ask a million questions....Take it from the top...

Fish...Big Island is best...it pains me to say.
Hunt?...Any island...But it's who do you know? And the gun laws suck here.
Bike?...any island...that's free.

Indoor? Lose money....power is 35 cents a KW/HR. Here indoor is what you smoke when it's dry.

Cops? Most of them grew up here. Lowest mj arrest record in the nation. Go medical and wave at them as they fly by. Infrared....nope. not Maui.

If ya got the script rent a house in the country....Unless you want to be by the beach...that's kinda crowded.

Next....Outdoor potential? equal. BI has a lot of land, Maui has sugar...where they water AND fertilize for you.

Meet intelligent growers....I have no clue....Only know hacks like myself. Midnight is right, both UH and UH Hilo have great Tropical Ag programs.

When you decide that you are going to go for something, and you don't let anything stand in your way, you open the door for great things to happen. And once you have made it that far, after having known what things look like from the bottom, you may find that the view from the top, is that much sweeter.
