newgroweroldsmoker... i know you know, but let me just say it to get it out of the way. watch out with the candle burning. make sure it is safe and all that yada yada.. okay, got that out of the way. you said 'starting from tonight' you were starting the candle method...two things come to mind... one, burning at night? while you are getting ready for bed? and two... co2 does nothing at night with the plants. so if it is dark and you are adding co2 or breath on them, it does nothing. all co2 should be implemented during light hours for the plant.

although i love to hear that you are talking to them, breathing on their leaves...did you know that they breath the co2 from the BOTTOM of the leave? so breath upward under the leaves.

as for the smell, i have the green smell as well at week 3 of flowring ,but the bud smell is starting to come in, not bad yet. i have two ionizers from sharper image that emits O3 (ozone) and an ona block that i open up when the smell is thick, but not for long as the ona is strong... i don't have the setup where i can use carbon filters and all that, one day.

as for buying candles, that is your call. i like to use tea light candles both scented and not since i can get a huge bag of those for cheap. or bigger candles that are in glass so they burn better. if i'm up, i'll light a scented candle at night just to cover the smell. plus it just gives it that 'cosmic' feel to the room while you talk to you plant!!

is this your first grow? it is for me, but i'm studying ALL the time. enjoy!!
