Aloha friends and thumbs! I am back with my shopping list for mixing compost teas for my students, this should help most of my students to get the correct products to mix your own.

Digital Ph meters- eBay or any hydro store in Hawaii but on Oahu Kahala Hydroponics has they cheapest at around $50 with a warranty and is a good meter as it is able to change out electrode. But online is definitely cheaper.

Ohana greenhouse:

Mad farmer get down

Mad farmer oxygenator
Earthworm castings (more expensive here but come in 50lb bags)
Variety box guano- mex,, Jamaican, Indonesian
Alfalfa meal

Aloha friends and thumbs I am back again letting you know that the folks down at Ohana Greenhouse are now offering us growers some new things. Not only are they now carrying a much more affordable organic ingredient line Dr. Earth which now includes alfalfa meal and they got 25lb bags Finally. This will be a big help when building and amending your soil mixes, also they are now offering a new discount card for those returning customers. So ask for your card next time your in one of their locations, 5% off all cash purchases and 2% off card purchases

Ps. Roots organic has changed their 707 mix now to include livestock manure so be careful with small plants!

Aloha friends and thumbs back with a little info for you outdoor farmers. Lowes and Home Depot are now stocking and selling easy erectable greenhouses. Price ranges from $89 for a 4×4 flowerhouse to a 6×8 ranging at $200. If you go to the garden section and they are sold out order one if you got the space. This is an affordable way to secure and isolate your plants from predators and those unsavory characters meaning to do harm.

This unit was donated to me by a patient and good friend that had to move back to mainland, Michigan he gonna show you how to grow it! Special thanks to Mike G we will miss you buddy!

Aloha friends and thumbs I am back with a little review on a helpful tool offered for iPhone in the App store. Sunrise Sunset lite(free) or pro($0.99)- a free gps based sunrise & sunset calendar to help all you thumbs track the Sun-moon and your day length. A helpful little tool for all you outside growers, this will help one in knowing when to get those summer plants out and not to mention get those last short season plants out for one last harvest, before that long summer. I personally find this App unbelievably useful, cause if not I have to get on Google and find one. This puts each days specifics right in the palm of my hand. The free version is all one really needs.

Aloha friends and thumbs! Just my spring time warning that the Moths and Hawaiian Monarch Butterflies are out in full force. I personally use Safer Caterpillar spray on my outdoor ladies( 10 ml per gallon water), cause if not they would get ravaged. You can spot those little devils by the damage they do. Foliage or leafs will start to have damage a they will eat holes and complete tips of leafs. Also be careful of them curling up in your bud formations, you know they are there if you see little black specs, this their feces as they eat and destroy your buds by taping the stem for water behind tight bud formations. They secret a saliva that keeps the plant from healing the wound as they drink, as the plant continues to bleed water the bud formation will start to mold a purplish Grey mold from inside out (this is always accompanied by those black specs). Unfortunately can’t spray safer in the last weeks of flowering, so having a keen eye will help save your crops. Also a good ohn regimen will help.

**best to spray at night after cool sets in or early morning**

**I personally like 2 hours before sun up, so as my mixture has time to work and evaporation is slow**

Aloha friends and thumbs I am back to give you a secret ferment recipe I mix for my blooming phase plant. In layering my soils in transplant I am able to boost my bloom. Simple an easy I will be fermenting bananas, if you do your own research one will find burying bananas in your soil will boost flowering( potassium), many champion flower growers use this method. I take it another step, we always heard about the old guys talking about feeding plants fruit juice, well this kinda the same too but organically and we make a soil out of our ferment. So here it is:

Banana Soil:

1gallon container
2 bunches bananas or about a pound of peels
**1apple, 1over ripe papaya( these are optional)
1 bottle gin
3 cups brown sugar
30 lbs earthworm castings

Procedure:
1. Cut and put all fruit in a large container
2. Add brown sugar and stir until completely coated
3. Add 6oz gin
4. Cover with paper towel and rubberband
5. Let stand for 5days and stir after stir add one cup gin
6. Let stand 14 days
7. Add ferment to 30 lbs EWC and mix well let stand 5-7 days
8. Layer into transplant so as the roots grow into it, when they do wow
*** I also use this in sexing my seed plants in a 24 hr light cycle**

Aloha friends and thumbs I am back with another review and recipe for using canadian fertilizer, Advanced Nutrients. Advanced Nutrient can be confusing if your not ready for it, but the do make it easier on a first time grower with an online nutrient calculator on their www.advancednutrient.com which breaks down your mixing needs very precisely. With the addition to the local growing stores New Age Agriculture has opened in the Pearl City area, which specializes in Advanced Nutrient Basic 2 part Sensi lines and their higher end line Conissuer and all their additives. Also now Kahala Hydro is carrying Advanced line of nutrients. I personally only use the Sensigrow 2 part and Sensibloom 2 part, along with my compost teas.

** as of late I have gone back to CES 6 part for my veg fertilizer with teas**

As for smart nutrients I like Advanced, but personally I would never spend on all their additives when I make teas. Nor would I spend on conissuer line no matter what some says it supposed to do. I have had the products some good and some just as bad as my worst grow done with Bigfoot. The best line I have sampled from conissuer was a master kush, tasted just the same as my pure organic compost tea feeding, and I yielded more or less about the same. To each his own, someone once said. With that do realize that advanced 2 parts are very reasonably priced and will work good with manure based soil mixes, bought from walmart, homedepot or lowes.

For those friends and supporters of Reverend Roger Christie please take notice.

Aloha friends back again with a little help. There are machines now that help do all the work and ultimately the price is worth it cause harvests and trimming can be a long drawn out process. This what I did for $80 and some imagination without over spending $500 to $2,000.
