[EnhAnceD]

So Im on day 20, Ive made some changes, and I am fasinated by this. There is so much growing under the leaves and tomorrow I get to repot. This is going to be exciting. I will post some pictures tomorrow of their progress as Ive been slacking a bit.:thumbsup:

you have a ton of choices on nutes. i guess the first question is what is your budget?

also, are you pulling air through your filter or are you pushing it through?

the ladies are alooking very nice by the way!

keep up the good work.

Well, Im not really on a budget but I guess you could say I dont want to spend like 50 bucks on one bottle. For the filter, I am pushing air threw as it filters out the side of the filter. Im going to have to mod that eventually b.c the air isnt coming out as much as I want it to. They were smelling alot and now its going better, still have some smell. Why do you ask, would pulling the air out be a better idea? Iv got to run to work so Ill post picks when I get home, I just transplanted 2 of them as well into newer better soil. Only 10 hours

i can't speak from experience as far as the carbon scrubber is concerned, but everything i have read and have seen posted says it's better to pull air through the filter.

and as far as nutes go, i would recommend fox farm. i use both the liquids and the solubles and am loving them because the plants seem to.

I haven't seen a plant yet that didn't have a skin on the stem below the cotyledons. As the stem gets bigger around, this membrane peels off, especially where you see roots starting to bump out. I think it's pretty cool, but back on my first grow I thought it might be a problem. It's just a natural part of the plant. I don't think it goes any higher than the seed leaves.

Don't you wish cannabis had root nodules all the way up the stem like that, just waiting to grow as soon as we take clones? That would be badass.

Thanks guys I really do appreciate your advice.
That filter has the fan pushing air threw, and you know what I never thought to set it to pull the air threw but it actually makes alot more sense so tomorrow after work Im going to mod it again. I can deffinitly still smell it but not nearly as much as I could be. Today was start of week 4 so I checked them all for the roots and 2 of the smaller potted ones needed transplanting so I took care of that and just with those 2 babies in my kitchen my whole living room smelled nice and fresh. Enough talk. Pictures. Oh and one other thing. I changed my room a bit to maximize the light usage. I made a lamp out of the perfect piece of cardboard, its sick. Here it is.

You say your going to start LST them today and then start flower next week? Be honest I think there really is no point in LST them when you plan on starting flower next week....

that's true, you could just tie the tops down to keep them out of the lights.

Also, if you do decide to do it, be REALLY careful as looking at your pictures your stalk looks pretty hardened and could snap if tied to tight. Just an extra precaution!
