I've got to agree with pollack, I didn't think that C99 would get much bigger than it usually does in a 5 gallon pot (they aren't super large plants unless you veg them for a long time) and my C99 which is just about ready, takes up 25% of a 3x10' grow space - I'm sure if she had more room to fan out and expand, she would. Looks like I stuffed a damn christmas tree in there.

Thank god my new space is 2 weeks from completion! (you should see the drainage I've got, leading into a nice, secure outdoor area) Gonna toss all my weak clones out there and see how they fair, MUHAHAHHAHHAHA

Anyway, the smell isn't from the plants, its from the water/nutes. It really does smell like an aquarium, I put the new carbon filter in today, I'll let you know tomorrow if the smell is gone. (did a nute change today as well)
