Aloha from Hawaii my fellow friends!
I just wanted to post to say hello and that im finally back! I used to frequent this site quite a bit too much before I moved to Hawaii 2 years ago. But now that im truly settled here and quite happy... ive decided to restart a hobby that i love. I just have one question... my house situation here in HI is now completely different from my old East Coast pad. Now I have open aired windows with no central air. I live up in the mountains so I get really nice weather and its always comfy and around the 70s to low 80s every day just about and gets cooler at night so you really don't need central air. Also if the trade winds are blowing... ahhhh its so nice and just perfect weather wise.
Buuuuut.... I want to start my sterile hobby again... Im just posting to see if I have any fellow members out here in Hawaii in the same conditions as me... and are you able to pull of successful grows? Before I was able to successfully go from syringe to shroom in a little under 20 days or so... and got it really down to a science. Now im just concerned its going to be a bit more challenging because I feel before I had more of a controllable situation with climate, quality of air in my house, etc.
Anyway got a grab bag sampler pack of 4 strains - (2x)costa rica, b+, and burma... trying CR first due to having 2 of those syringes... But yeah... here we go again!!! Can't wait to have some success!!! Ive had major past successes with B+, Texas, PE, and Cambodians.
Our house is very clean here on the island, but does seem to get dusty easier than a central air system... due to the open screens and just plain glass jalousies in the windows it just concerns me. We have all hardwood floors so no accumulation of molds or other nasties. Im also wondering since the temps stay so constant if id really need a incubator, but at night i may need one... probably just better to have one.
Ill def. let you guys know how it goes if it starts to go... for sure!
Thanks for checking in and if you are on tha islands, pm or say what up and let me know!
Alohas! Fishbutt

Just go pick them out of your neighbor's cow field. And by neighbor, I mean hop on the free bus one day and ride it until you see some cows.
Which island are you on? If you're on the one I visited I could give you a pointer of where to go.

You can grow out here. Depending how high you are on the mountain and how much control of ambient temps you have, it might affect colonization or fruiting time (incubator would be good if yer up the mountainside). But standard Hawaii temps are well within comfortable growing parameters(at least for cubies). I've had successful experiments on the hot dry leeward side and some friends up on the mountain have had good results as well.
Aloha brother. Welcome back.

Living in the mountains of Hawaii must be fucking amazing.
Here's to pretending I am too...

UPDATE...
Hell yea we have Myc growth in 3 of the 6 jars! Yippie! I thought id lost my touch and gotten rusty and was starting to get upset about that!
On the other hand... Thanks guys! 
I know exactly where to find here... (the gathering isle) trust me... thats like the first thing I did when I moved to Hawaii... The rush of finding your first wild ones is unforgetable!!!
Mine was almost by mistake... I was at a Ziggy Marley show that was at a ranch and when we pulled in to park these girls in the back of a truck in front of us had plates full of copes and i about shit bricks... but thought yea right no way... so i just got out and went right up to them and asked... Hey where did you get those??? In Hawaii people are pretty cool when you approach and ask crazy things like... where can I get some herb and where are the mushrooms growing... LOL... so they just pointed to the woods. I was like you are shitting me... for real? And they just said... go that way until you get to these two trees that cross like an X and look down. So I did... and found... that the floor of the forest was absolutely covered in them!
Went back the next morning at 4am... found the spot and picked the hell out of it! One of the greatest days ive ever had the North Shore... riding huge ass waves tripping my balls off Ahhhhhhhh memories! That was like 2 years ago... so ive def been able to find lots more since!
Anyway... thanks again for checking out my post and saying what up!
Aloha, Fishbutt
