Hey Dunit can you give me a short explanation of FIMing? I'm not familiar with the term

It is a modification of topping the plant. Instead of removing the growth top which then ends up with the two or three branches immediately below it becoming growth tops, you take the growth top and cut about 80% of the top of it with a razor or very sharp scissors and you end up with 5-7 growth tops emerging. Follow the search Colorado is talking about and I'm sure you'll find some better info.

hey dunit i was trying to message you on thcfarmer but my post hasn't gone up and still can't respond to the pm. so i will just post it here and could you reply in a private message please and thanks.

Hey i also live in calgary but have not been able to find a doctor. I am in constant pain (which has been going on for many months) and no medication helps my pain other than cannabis. So far every doctor i have asked has turned me down and is not even willing to talk about it or let me explain. Since you live in calgary and have your MMAR card could you help me out. I know your not suppose to give out doctors info and stuff like that but would you be able to point me towards a doctor that could help me, or even to your doctor that signed for you if you are ok with that and if you don't think he or she would mind or you have their permission to do that. I know this is asking a lot but my quality of life is very bad right now and none of my doctors are really helping so i am very desperate right now.
Thanks brandont1.
btw your LED grows are great, love following and watching them.

I'll PM you some specifics but just to help educate the rest of the canucks reading these posts....the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons will not support of condone MJ use except for the Nabilone pill which is made by big Pharma. Greasy fuckers! This also applies to growing.

I use a doctor out of BC. They do require supporting paperwork from your own doctors to confirm your chronic pain or legitimate ailment but they will process the liscense application on your behalf and the cool thing is they do phone and skype interviews so you don't have to travel.

I suspect this will hold true for most of the provinces as outside of BC I don't think any of the physician boards support us.

I can't PM you and I think you have to have more than 10 posts to be able to send and receive PM's. It's supposed to stop the spambots from invading the forums. Go drop some comments on some journals and get back to me

When I veg I do three days full spectrum and three days blue spectrum and just keep alternating. Seems to stack the internodes quite nicely. Straight full spectrum stretches them out too much while straight blue spectrum stacks them up too close IMO.

Ive been meaning to bring this up with someone on here for a while, just kept forgetting to bongsmilie

I have a fx-1 vegging some of my plants right now and have been trying to figure out the best schedule with flipping the spectrums or not flipping them at all. Thats whatsup Im gonna give it a try :leaf:

Props on really getting things dialed in. Starting to feel like a classroom environment in here lol :clap:

Rian · May 12, 2011

Thanks for the knowledge =)

dunit · May 12, 2011

Well I wanted to make sure everything was bone dry and it certainly is. The final weigh in was a bit lighter than I though but I did break a pound on a 4x4 table with 360 watts so really cant complain

457 grams

1.26 grams per watt

Just to put that in perspective that grams per watt is double the best pull I ever had with HID in dirt.

Cereall · May 12, 2011

Good job! That's pretty impressive

brandont1 · May 12, 2011

alright i got 10 now (i think lol) and if u still can't let me know and i'll find another way to contact u.

Rian · May 12, 2011

One more question Dunit. Do you veg 18/6 or 24 hrs

jjp53 · May 12, 2011

WOW i went thru the whole thread and was really impressed with the grow and out come. I am currently looking to pick up an LED light but there are so many out there and you showed me that the Magnum is one I should consider. Did the buds end up hard or airy?

You said at the begining that you had 2 Magnums in your grow which is 714 watts of light power and 360 watts of power usage. When you calculate do u use actual light or power consumed?

ledshow · May 13, 2011

wow, 1.26 g/w is fantastic...even if on power draw, not output. If you can get into that range on output (357 vs 180) then I see no need to ever use HID again! nice work, hombre...

surgedup · May 13, 2011

hats off to you sir i still got some flowering there coming out pretty nice under my blackstars but you sir take the top nice job

Fantastic, incredible, fabulous, etc., yes. The output of his grow is 180W/light though, because lights can't magically put out more energy than they draw. If he had used CFL a similarly false argument could be made, whereas with HID, people list the wattage of the bulb/ballast, not the 15-20% higher actual draw (400W drawing ~480W, 600W drawing ~700W). This g/w should only be compared to his previous result, or the results of those with similar veg cycles, but with a 3 week veg HOLYCRAPTHATSAWESOME pretty much sums it up.
@dunit Any chance for some dried pics?

ColoradoLove · May 14, 2011

He used two 180w lights. The gpw is factored off his actual draw

dunit · May 15, 2011

Howdy all! Ended up working out of town and will try to get some dried bud pics up asap. So answer some of the questions...the bud isn't airy but not as dense as some stuff I've previously grown. I don't actually think thats an LED issue so much as too much variation in day to night temp. My daytime temp is 85F and nitetime temp drops to 70f and that kind of spread seems to make the buds less dense. I think that's one of the reasons my estimate was off. Looked like close to 20oz of bud. I know if I was in the retail business customers would love me as it makes for a very full bag

There was two magnums going on this run at 180 watts actual draw each so 360 watts actual draw total and that was what I used for my calculations.

Rian · May 15, 2011

were you on 24\7 or 18\6 light cycle on ur veg Dunit?

brandont1 · May 16, 2011

hey dunit, so what doctor out of BC did you use?

Dunit and Sleezy, Have you guys thought of using smart pots which aerate the roots instead of plastic containers? I myself use smart pots. They are like 4$ each and there is even a brand that's half as much as smart pots and its made of 100% recycled material =) All my friends switched to these and it's one more small cheap thing that can improve growth
