Congrats on the new place! When do you move? I’m guessing it’s in the Captain Cook / Kona area where all the coffee plantations are found. Nice area - we know some small producers out there.
I’ve sent a lot of beans to the big island, almost all of them F2 of bodhi’s stuff. They’re mostly being grown in lower Puna, up mauka on the way to Volcanoes park, in and around Hilo, and along the Hamakua coastal areas. The stretchier plants with fluffier buds perform very well outdoor on the windward side, but I guess keep in mind the growing seasons there are a little weird, so the folks I know try to veg indoors. If you’re more around the leeward side, you won’t have so many issues with the crazy rain.
It’s not just you. We got an airbnb a few years ago in lower Puna and the hosts gave us weed when we got there. Despite all the rain, there’s a long tradition of growing weed on that windward side. A lotta people over there still doesn’t accept US rule. Mostly good people out there, but watch out for the meth’d out Qanon “hippies.” They used to preach peace, pot, and microdot, but now they’re threatening to kill people and claiming COVID is a hoax. I think they all got rat lungworm and went feral.
To keep it on topic, here’s Cheech Wizard at day 56F getting nuggy and floppy and just about done.
