7/29/22 update
Aloha Growmies (& other lost persons you can still click BACK! 
)
No pics this time, not much to show off or keep track of.
From last update, I had to chop 90+ % from weeks 5-7 due to budrot, PM, & sooty mildew. The sooty mildew formed from all the dying aphids(spinosad’ed at week 3) & doesn’t spread as fast as PM.
The SpaceX went first, followed by all the others, all into the freezer for bubblehash. There’s maybe a 1/4 oz left on the Orange Sunshine F2, which is SUPER disappointing-- it smells so good & just like the other I grew. I’m stupidly tempted to re-veg, clone, & try AGAIN even though it’s a “dirty” plant with budrot in it’s system.
I transplanted all the other stuff, found 3/7 Maui Wowie males & fed to the dog, flipped the Sweet Wonder F2’s (at 3 &4 wks), hmm 
started using Safer #567 Pyrethrin/Soap since Spinosad wasn’t doing it for me. Aphids would still survive long enough to make a mess & persist a bit…then causing black “sooty” mildew. The safety warnings are crazy & off the page for the Safer 567, which is weird to me. It does leave a soap residue that I’ll wash off before wk 2 of flower.
Observations, Notes, Errata:
I remembered stuff I’d forgotten in a year and a half not growing:
- topping-- I must do this & eliminate donkey-dick colas because of humidity
- branch bending, Soma style-- to add nodes when the branches are kinda naked
- over-fed, dark green plants attract WAY more aphids
Oh yeah-- I tried mixing in some Bonide Sulfur into the pyrethrin spray & burned the Lemon Skunk x Snow Lotus pretty bad. Anyone know the trick to sulfur dilution? (@ anyone 
)
I culled one male Lemon Skunk x Snow Lotus & am waiting to ID the other 2. The sulfur may have even caused a mutation.
Amazon has trouble getting shit to my post office 1/2 the time & so I had to finally visit the local grow shop & was pleased to see they had a great selection & even had Dragonfly Earth Medicine proudly up front. I bought some of the black mystic humate stuff… it’s incredibly hydrophobic stuff. 
I think I’'ll mix it into corn meal & feed to the worm bin. 
Today I got all my old bubble bags & washer shipped from the mainland & can finally clear out about a pound of @99PerCent & @50State 's stuff from my freezer & have stuff to do when it rains. It rains here A LOT. A @#$%^&*( LOT. And it’s basically impossible to forecast the weather until 1/2-way through the day. 
I probably won’t stay here more than a couple years & so my plans are all in a renewed state of flux, once again.
The grass IS greener here, but it’s because it rains too much. 
NOW I understand the UK @Esrgood4u 
California is called ‘the golden state’(amongst other things), but it’s not just the gold a few people found-- it’s the @#^$&%& DEAD GRASS for 800 miles North to South. D’oh! 
I made a new contact & finally don’t have to drive 4 hours to meet The Dude 
It’s called Skunk Dog & I immediately asked, “So… Skunk & Chem Dog?”
He said no it’s something that’s been here on Big Island for 40+ years & the only thing he grows that doesn’t rot. I’ve encountered a Skunk Dog elsewhere on the island from another grower & it was larfy hippie shit. This stuff reminds me of my early grows; A little too green but it’s OK. 
He’ll probably give me a cut if I ask. It’s got 
& cat 
piss aroma & maybe a chem’y, skunky flavor & a nice sedative. narcotic buzz.
(from Info about the clone-only cannabis strain "Skunkdog" :: SeedFinder :: Strain Info)
What do we know about the clone-only Skunkdog?
Skunk Dawg created by Keokea Raj is a sativa-dominant Chemdawg cross that elevates the mood with a sweet and sour aroma. Its effects are long-lasting but clear-headed, making Skunk Dawg a popular choice for use throughout the day. This sativa may be all you need to give your appetite an edge or to help you stay productive and focused.
It originated in Upcountry Maui（Keokea） and eventually found its place on the north shore and island wide.
The known heritage is: Maui Dog x Molokai Upcountry Bud
The ‘Maui Dog’ is known by locals as ‘The Dog’. It is from ‘Chemdog’ bag seed imported from California and was germinated by ‘Uncle Chris’ about 20years ago. ‘The Dog’ reeks of earthy pine and jet fuel.
The ‘Molokai Upcountry Bud’ aka ‘Molokai Sativa’ also came from bag seed brought from Molokai. The ‘Molokai Sativa’ grows overhead trees of long flowering, mold resistant, sticky buds that stink of sandalwood and musk.
Molokai Sativa is also referred to as Molokai Skunk
Molokai Upcountry Bud was written on the bag from which the seeds originated
And finally, I popped 6 Red Cherry Berry F3 seeds(my latest/2020) for 6/6 but only 1 made it to success, 100% purple dicotelydons & ruby red stem. 
Kinda ominous that they were slow to pop & only 1 made out of the dirt, so I’ll hold off for a couple months with those.
If you made it this far, then 
mucho thanks,
probably forgot something. at least the stove’s off.
gotta catch up with you guys…
& I still don’t know how much juice is in the battery. 
for garden lights but don’t know their condition yet.
, must be a great place to live 
the 48V 3.8KW I saw listed had a price tag of nearly two and a half thousand dollars!..for less than 70Ah 
. I still can’t get my head around that one tbh
so she’s in the last leg of treatment & has to be kept calm-- the disintegrating worm material can cause a stroke. 
The worms also have a bacteria that causes clotting so she’s on anti-biotics & steroids for the lungs. PITA, but garaunteed if she’d been with the previous owner she’d just drop dead & the old redneck would just spit. 
is so intense that partial cloud cover is almost necessary here. Today was my sunniest day here & it was too hot for work. 
Chucked them off over the invisible fence. (sloppy, I know).
hope they make it all the way. They get moved into my garage at night & will soon get the fan 
they need.
(DAMN!) but manged to get clones going happy… 
Shiiiieeeeeeiiiiit. 
, glad that dog finally found a blessed soul, they deserve all we can give them and more, never seen that loyalty and kindness in any other animal, hope they will soon recover … 
shit until I figured out the nutrients. d’oh.
…
Then again in week 5 another small bud, same plant(1 of 2).
protection so was shuffling them back & forth to the porch(going nuts 
came down a few days later.
with weak 18/6 night light.
