temp is good, its a big room and the house has ac, so i jus keep the house at 75 and the room stays between 76-82 depending if the lights are on or off. I saw your grow and I really like the way you setup your plants. My first grow was kinda of closed in like yours and we used a portable ac in the room and it kept our temp pretty reasonable. it was in our garage in the beg of summer too so it was put to work lol.

Im not sure how big of a problem this is going to be but my room smells kinda funny. now when i get close to the plants it smells absolutely wonderful, like fruity pebbles haha but if im away from them there is kind of a wierd smell that i cannot put my finger on. at first i thought it could be mold, cuz it smells really thick and different. it feels a little too humid in there but my therm says its around 50 but i dont think that could be right. but if anybody knows what kind of smell im talking about or have any info for me id really appreciate it. all the plants are looking good and i dont see any mold on them, jus tons of chrystals forming everywhere haha but i want to be sure nothing happens to fuck this up.

I get a musty "live" smell sometimes. I use Dutch Master Zone in the reservoir to reduce water quality issues. Maybe change your reservoir and wipe down the inside walls.

Well i think I may have fixed that problem with the smell. I think it was getting muggy in there cuz at night i have the fan turned off and the air doesnt get circulated, so i put the fan on when they went to sleep last night and put a fan on the floor blowing up a little bit and it smells alot better. And the fruity smell is just ridiculous right now hahaha. I also put a cover over my water cuz it is a big resevoir that takes up alot of space so that probably adds to the humidity as well. Whats the deal with covering the water by the way??? Should I, or does it not make much difference?

Set the ppm to 1700 and Im only gonna water em once a day now for 10 mins cuz they arent getting much taller and I dont think twice a day is gonna work for me haha. Here's some more pics, feel free to throw some suggestions on here. Thanks!

Your shit is looking GREAT!

My grow is about 7 days behind yours so i like looking at your pictures comparing them to mine, its a good benchmark.

i would cover the reservoir, because if nutrient water has light exposed to it, it will begin to create bacteria that is very slimy

but your girls are looking beautiful. i envy you sq footage, lol

hahaha ha thanks fellas! ya i jus covered the resevoir and def noticed that all the gunk and shit is not forming over it. i am using this kool bloom stuff and jus switched it to the powder part of the second half and i guess its supposed to fill these puppies out a little beter. so Im not gonna be home for a few days on account my Vikes and Twins are playin some meaningful games but I am reall excited to get back and see how they look after a cpl days. Thank you guys for your compliments I appreciate them very much! Take care and when I get back Ill throw some more pics and hopefully they will be gettin kinda insane haha

wow, so we're 39 days into this piece and They are lookin awesome. Bumped the ppm up to 1800 and I think they like the once a day watering for now cuz the yellowing of the leaves have stopped. My only problem now is going to be keeping them up and from falling over cuz these buds are starting to get farely heavy... hope so right haha.

Also I have been thinking of on harvest day only taking the tops off the plants and leaving the rest to grow out for another week or two. Has anyone ever done this or know about it? and if so how did you like it? Hope ya'll enjoy the pics... i know i enjoyed taking them. And I just got some seeds purchased today for some THC Bomb, Super Skunk, and Super Silver Haze, and I plan on getting them going pretty soon. Anyone ever grown THC Bomb before? I hear it is supposed to produce massive yields ha ha

pic 6 is my fav

hahaha no shit? well I had more fun at my house anyways haha so as you can see below the hairs have gotten mostly orange and theyre gettin fat lol. I am gonna change the water one more time tonight and give em a heavy dose of our nutes, then i think after a week ima start flushing them and gettin ready for the harvest(which should be a nice 28 hr adventure lol.

So the whole bumping up the ppm was a no good idea... all the buds are fine but we lost a shit load of leaves. i went in there and pulled alot of crispy wrinkled up brown dead leaves, but most the plant is perfect. So i talked to a friend and he suggested that i should drop down alot and at this stage i should probably only be giving it like 100 ppm. So I went down to that and he also told me I should be watering 3 -4 times a day. So im at 988 ppm with the kool bloom in a few days should go up to around 1100 n that should be ok for the next week, then ill flush them puppies! But i got a cpl close ups through a magnifying glass and also got a close up a few plants long ways and you can see the bamboo stix i used to support all the puppies. some of em were leanin big tyme. should have done this a long time ago. like two weeks into flower probably. oh well, lesson learned!

bongsmiliethat sucks some leaves died and u had to change the water, but goo thing u caught it early. I WISH THAT WE COULD SLAM them another week and make them as big as f@#king possible. tHEY LOOK way better with the sticks too, that is a good idea i will make sure to do that as well, or build a unit around them since i have no where to stick the stick ha. when do u plan on the harvest and when should i see the sun again and are u planning on harvesting in step???
