That's not bad. I wouldn't worry unless it gets worse. It's most likely a result of a little too much fert.

Thanks! Kinda what I was thinking; sort of like I'm right on the edge with the food. I thought of dropping the fert level on this round, but didn't and I've been feeding with every watering. Will keep a close eye on it and can flush with just water if that seems appropriate.Quote:

that stink is gonna get a lot worse before flowering at least mine have. at 7 weeks i can smell them as i come into my basement before i get to the room theyre in. when i open the tent its reallly strong its awesome!
Don't flush unless you have to. Just let the soil dry out before you water again.
Good to know, Mal!
Laverne and Shirley live in a 3x3x6' grow tent. I set it up with filtering, haven't needed it, but it looks like this will be getting it's first test pretty soon. It's only been the last few days that I've started noticing the smell.
Wife is cool with what I'm doing, but the odor will have to be managed to perfection. Next step in the journey.
Cool. My plan is to change nothing unless I have to. Swear the soil was still pretty wet after 6 days last round -- this is coco/perlite, but the pots were starting to feel light after almost a week. Seriously, if it wasn't for my desire to take pictures, they were on their own for 6 days.Quote:

Still have lotsa questions.
Fired up the carbon filter today. We were just starting to smell the plants the last week or so. When I set this up (lots of reading; zero experience), I knew this would be an issue, so built it all around a "sealed" grow tent. Had that all set up before germinating the seeds, but it never smelled until recently.
This morning, I closed the tent and turned the fan on. Smell was gone in 5 minutes.
@ this stage of the game the less you do the better....., IMHO . Don't fret, will have way more concern in the coming weeks!
Sic Semper Tyrannus
:wtf:
I hear ya Esteban. I think things are going really well here, just not quite as fast as I expected -- that is, given what I've read, I expected the plants to be bigger than they are. I've really been doing "nothing" lately. Turned the carbon filter on a couple days ago. And seem to be watering every 6 days (semi-hydro, takes a bit of time to mix the food and adjust the pH).
Much to learn, but so far....
Heya pp... Seems to be getting a little worse. Here's a shot from today (these are the lower leaves):Quote:

Plants are otherwise looking pretty healthy. Would it be better to cut back on the nutes for the next watering, or maybe skip the nutes for one round and just go with pH balanced water? I've been running 50% strength FF hydro ferts at every watering (Big Bloom and Grow Big). Last couple feedings/waterings have been 6 days apart, but I can tell that these plants are starting to consume more and I'll have to increase the schedule. Here's the "big view."

Just added the second light panel today (T5 fluorescent).
Thoughts and comments very welcome.
