At 745 CFM one would probably do the job for a 600 and 400. That said let me get you a sugar tit made up. I will also get you some tissues to wipe your tears.....and I dont think 'barley money' has much value in the USA.......

Hello all; I have yet to read all the kind posts of my adoring fans,lol. I'm certain there are many since I've been away. No doubt those that had ben bashing me spent their time teaching those newer growers th science/art of growing instead of sitting here bashing someone who hasn't even been on the board. I can't imagine how it could have continued while I was busy elsewhere.
I'm sure nobody suggested I had been run off after being shown what a fraud and money grubber I truly am. lmfao The truth is I had an event to do with our friends "Down Under" to help raise funds for the NORML organization and their efforts to get a solid foothold there. An oversight on my part not selling tickets or plugging the event or myself while I was here being accused of doing that very thing. Hopefully my sarcassim is shining thru and you can all tell I have been recharged after my welcome here by the vocal minority. Was good for the soul and was nice meeting a few from this very place. Sorry for not openning the store and selling vast amounts of products and services as I apparently intended to do in the first place. I will try harder before my next shameless display of greed and marketing. Enough, just kidding folks.
I wasn't kidding about not having read the post yet. If somebody would be so kind as to inform me about who was kind enough to fill in and also what positive topics have been the main jest I would be greatful. If as I suspect it hasn't all been slamming and bashing a person who wasn't here to defend himself and there are in fact some questions I can help with I'm happy to resume while my schedule allows. If there isn't any further need for my imput I'll move on. Glad to be back, feel good and positive from being around growers who are hungry for knowlege. Can't wait to read the good wishes that were left for me. lmfao Prof Mj

Thanks Potpimp, all I have ever asked is for people to support the accusations they make. I have asked to be shown bad advice. Don't wish to give new growers incorrect info. Also; if I am accused of selling or promoting please just show everyone where I have done that. And last, who are the responsible parties for starting shit on unrelated topics? Responding to accusations is not the same as bring it up or bragging. I try and answer the questions asked and think I've done a fair job of it, many questions several times. I have only wished to help. If given the chanc that's what I intend on doing. I don't bring the other bs up. If I'm wrong here pleas let me know where. Thank you for being fair. Just a grower with more then two crops under my belt, thats all

Bonzi; I earned any and all the respect I could possibly need from you when I fought and won my battle with the DEA. Or was putting my ass on the line while facing federal prison just part of my money making plan? Would you show us where you have contributed to this cause friend?

I would enjoy nothing moe thn speaking about pot, my world. The bowl sits in the lap of a 25 yar old gal with two kids. Those buds are not what would b expected when growing the strain from seed. As with all my results they are due to a great deal of work that took place long before those were grown. The strain is Sensi Star, those were grown in a 4' x 4' room under 2000w. 1200hps 800mh in two hoods. The plants were four feet including the buckets a total of 9 in the room. C02 at 1,400ppm, botanicare natures blend nutes. Very hot room highs 105 F 75% RH, hydrofarm drip bucket system from central res.
You hear how my statements regarding yield I currently get are dismissed flat out, if I had described those buds and the enviroment it would have received the same treatment. So whats the difference between my results and those who say I'm a liar? Those buds are the result of careful and intentional program to produce the best buds I could. They come from clones that were from a selection process that took years to complete. 100 clones were taken from the females grown from seed. I selected the 3 best for mothers, another 100 clones were taken from those mothers of which the 3 best were again grown into mothers, etc, etc, etc. 25 generation were grown and the buds you see are the results of that process. As with my claims regarding yields it sounds like BS to your average grower, but they have only a portion of the story, it is hard to buy if you are unaware of the 25 generations of selection the preceeded their growth.
I has now been 44 years since my first crop and I have seen some things that are almost impossible to believe. To this day with all I have seen in the flesh or in magazines, books, pics, they are still the most amazing buds I have seen. Those I have no problem bragging about, but they took a shitload of work and effort. I don't blow smoke up anyones skirt, don't have too, serves zero purpose. My point is, if you invest the effort you can also grow so well you will be called a liar, no greater compliment as far as I'm concerned.
About it looking like I enjoy the drama. I fucking hate it, my love is teaching others how to grow. I am prone to getting worked up by pricks though. When you're not masked by a name of your own choosing but are known by your real name it is a bit different. I don't like being insulted and being called names by those who are protected by a false id. Face to face it would be very different, much easier to trash a man over the internet while unknown then it is to do it infront of a 6'6" 270lb man whos knows who you are. There is never any answer to request asking for them to back up the accusations made. I have asked 30 times for any of them to show where this "all about selling" crap stems from and it is never done. But that doesn't stop them from saying it again. Bullshit. All the crap they sling has been wrong and also brought up by them, not myself. Very easy to say ignore bing bashed and lied about, much harer to do so when you are the target. For the record, I have never made any sizable amount of money from anything relating to pot, EVER. I have spent far more then I have ever gained, many times over. I was lucky enough to earn insane amount of money very young and have never had the need to profit from this work. I don't sell product, don't take payment from seminars, writing, speaking, or testimony. Fees from consulting fund equipment, facilities, and expences. Having said that, if I was only half the grower I have claimed how hard do you think it would be for me to profit quite well? If it was about money how long would I have needed to spend here to make a shitload? I've been asked many times to offer my services while I have been here, none accepted, all have been offered free advice.
Would love to just address grow issues, wish they'd let me.

So to answer in general terms. I think I've tried about all growing styles. Each has it's own strengths and weakness's, for example ebb/flo is very basic not much to go wrong and a short learning curve. Adversly areoponics allows greater control but is very open to equipment and electrical failur with devistating results. It's more expencive and requires more time to learn but will yield larger crops. My seminars I preach KISS, sure all know but in case not, Kepp It Simple Stupid. Simple equals more reliable, cheaper, easier to learn. In hydro I've tried pretty much every system on the market. The avatar buds were grown in a hydrFarm drip bucket system, 8 buckets tied to a central res. I added a recirculating feature before it was part of the system, also quick release connections at each bucket for easier removal and servicing. Can't complain about the results but it required a lot of mods to make it a viable product in my eyes. Air lines were prone to clogging, but a little imagination made it a small issue (Trimmer line can be pushed through the lines to unclog without having to take apart). Adding quick release connections made removing a single bucket possible without draining all of them. A toliet float added to the res made keeping water levels right automatic. That's just how I grow. Mistter style systems for growing and also cloning were suseptible to crop loss with even short power outages. Made cloning a couple days faster but seperated me from several hundred dollars and had no other benefits. They look good but thats it. Today I prefer the Areoflo2 system, many pluses with very few negatives. As with everything I use it to gets my own modifications. The best system I've used to date. Questions?

Thank You obijohn, I am migrating to generalMJgrowing to try again from scratch. Care to make a wager that it will be their duty to follow and save all those folks from my evil ways? You have a GROW question friend?

@ Professor. i just finished a small crop, where i used the fim technique, then pruned the bottoms real well. had my best harvest yet.
what do u think about the fim technique, then boosting the energy to the top of the plant from lolipopping?

Seems like a simple answer burrr, different from my spot. First you need to conseder why I came here to start. Has zero to do with money. I had a rare occasion to just rlax and have fun, fun for me is teaching and sharing with growers. That's the main reason, second I am writing a colum about online grow info for something down the road so it gave me a chance to get input and an opinion. Finally I am involved with a project that I was doing some research when RIU came up. I had forgotten this place and what happened my first time here. So I just came here to take in the feel and spend some free time trying to help, that's it. Now it's all f'd up and not much fun.I've got an idea, why don't you log back in under an alias, do a grow, and be some random dude who grows epic buds in a 45 day journal. You could even post pics then!
If I had an agenda, and the time, a new name and proving shit might make sense. But why would I invest the energy when all I wanted to do was help a few growers? I don't give a rats ass if they don't believe it, I have shown many what I do and lots see the results on a regular basis. I am a real person who has exposure with people in this industry. I'm not an hidden person who makes these claims, many real people know me quite well. Those are the folks that I am concerned with, I have to testify under oath and would be crucified if I was just full of shit. I wouldn't be asked to speak, or write if it was just crap. I don't care what they believe and have a rule in life, if you ask me to prove it you can bet your ass I won't. I don't cover my walls with pictures from my music days rubbing elbows with rock stars, I don't frame news stories, or my columns I write. I don't fucking care. What gets my goat are people who lie to give shit, ang who won't show where they get that bs they trash with. I didn't start it and could spend my time doing things without getting bashed.
Anyway, I am moving to a new place, no claims, and you just watch, it will follow just because they hate. More false accusations and no examples of where it comes from. Go to GeneralMJgrowing for only grow stuff.

Helps to have system/environmnt info. FIM is of no use in my style, I use it extensively outdoors however. My experience has shown that indoors there is little can topping as oposed to a single cola. Indoors growers have a habit of overgrowding plants so benefits from fim ar lost because light won't penetrate. Unless you are vegging a fair amount, have room, lots of light I don't se large gains, HOWEVER, "had my best harvest yet" speaks loudly. If it worked what the hell. I support 100% pruning lower branches for greater resources up top. Got argued with over that earlier but I belive in doing it. All your yield comes from the top third, almost nothing from the bottom third. Why feed the part that gives nothing back?

Prunning the bottom third means you should put more plants in the grow area per light to make up for the losses, ultimatly in a SOG it is the best way but requires more and shorter early flowered plants. The losses at the bottom allow more plants per area because of greater airflow with less foliage as i was led to believe. Peace

As I don't veg, pruning that portion makes perfect sense. Hard to squeeze in any more plants lol

not necesarily its about power being able to penetrate to the bottom as well

I see the method dose work best when the lights can reach the very bottom bud and leaves after pruning but that said a lot seem to rely on the 1000watters to do the job. With only one central bud and little side foliage i see that penetration is also increased. I have tried both ways SOG but liked to go with trimming the bottom third growth and maxing the plants out, makes little difference to me yeild wise although i do have some good space under the canopy with which to get good airflow. For environmental reasons i prefer this way but looks wise i prefer to culture the bottom third of my plant, looks nice and gives me somthing to smoke whilst im watching the other two thirds dry!lol! Peace
