Ready to go?

While you poor bastids on the mainland are freezing, for us here in Hawaii it's business as usual. Two complete seasons in six months. Plants started now will get to a couple of feet tall and bud quickly. Plants started at Christmas will reach five ft and bud with loose flowers.

Short season sets up long season. This is the time to chuck pollen. It also gives us a chance to test those newly made seeds, looking for various desirable traits, enabling me to pull a sucessfull long season, with plants that grow and thrive in our rather unique envionment.

At this point I have no clue on which way to go. The plants will show me. I do have some decent raw materials to work with.

This is a journey. The journey needs a destination.

Where I would like to go? What do I need?

First of all, Resistance to humidity. Where I live the days average 60% humidity and 90% at night. They can't rot. WPM is also a problem. Screw this up and the plants look like this.



Next I want something nobody else has. On Maui that's not hard. I'm not the only person doing this. In the next couple of months I will become very social. Wifey calls this "the two month stone", I call it "market research". Beat the bushes and hit my friends up for seeds.

Also I need something pretty. Pretty sells. Period. Though growing them here is almost impossible, I prefer tight buds, but the market will tell me what they want. Finding testers isn't a problem.

And most importantly I want it to get you high. But honestly here on Maui....that's the easy part.

Now here's something new. The cops visited me around Labor Day and I need to have four of my seven harvested by then. They will be back next year. So this year I'm also looking for some strains that go off early too.

I did find the time to make some Headband and Violator Kush clones. Also cracked the rest of my Rodney and Jack Herer seeds. And we have some small long season plants right now budding....




Those two in front already have balls.

I'd rather not run two logs at once but this is overlaping with part three and it's gotta start now if this is to fly. Rules are the same as all the others. The are none.

This isn't like Part Three. I don't have to figure out how to kill seven months of boring with a month of insanity. This one happens fast. It takes no time at all to get this.



It needs another month. Short season is also the time where I make my personal stash. In ground monsters are a job. This is fun. It also gives me a chance to gloat and do my bit to support the Hawaii Visitors Industry.

when is harvest planned???? I'll pack my fiskars.
keep blowing it up!

Chunky... your in luck. Right now everyone is in full harvest mode. If you want to see what that looks like find Part Three. I should be pulling the first Short Season plants in a month. Unless you are going to Oahu there should be plenty available on all the other islands until late January, when most of the island shoots their wad getting funds for Christmas.

Bring your sissors, I'll do my best to keep blowing it up until you arrive.
