Don't see much change from the watering. That's a good sign I trust, tonight will probably show more at 24hrs. One thing I did notice CC was all bent over! Her top was perpendicular to the main stem! Everything else looked OK. I am assuming she was photo-troping towards the CFL that are next to her for the BDM. I lowered the LED to about 20 inches and shuffled everybody around. Hope I am right! I am unusually calm at this point, If it is not photo I will be freaking out as my plant is not well....
Stay tuned!!!

Edit: 7:15 AM CC is standing tall, gotta love that tropism stuff!!

If she's responding to the CFL, your LED is to high IMHO. Good call (I hope!). Or you can back off the CFL a bit, if you feel the LED is close enough.

Here's for hoping!

CfL is over the biodiesel mass girls and they are smaller and it is CFL so it's right down on the level of the critical x cheese. I had raised the LED so it was the first thing I thought of. Seemed to work too, glad I did not panic. I mean there she was all laid over... But calmer head won and I just raised the LED!

I am pleased to report that CC has a flower on the main stem! In other news, I have not seen an improvement in the coloration of the leaves. There is still that light green coloration in the center of the leaf and I am loosing some of the lower fan leaves on all of the plants. With the exception of that I would say they are all looking quite good and growing nicely. I have posted a pic of the leaf issue and of what I am sure is CC's flower. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on either.

CC and her main cola!

BK and the leaf issue...

BDM looking good!

BK growing fairly well...

All together now

One thing is for sure dude... those 4 plants are gonna smell awesome once in full bloom!

I have that GT50... it works pretty well and used in conjunction with a carbon scrubber it will do wonders. You do need to be aware of the hazards of the ozone however, it can be some nasty stuff if you breathe it alone. You don't want your cat walking into a large cloud of ozone for instance, so want to be sure it's mixing well into your room air via a fan etc. My grow area is small and the ozone is always wafting past my nose around the closet every so often, which I don't like. It's a tiny unit but can produce a ton of ozone on the highest setting. I also use it in my semi-wet basement to neutralize all the nasty moldy air. It seems to permeate through the floor into my house, just to give you an idea of how powerful it is. Based on your efforts so far I imagine you'll have no trouble finding an optimal configuration.

I fully understand your issue with the smell, really the only thing I can personally suggest is setting up an ONA bucket somewhere between you and the misses. The ONA is a fantastic masker but I wouldn't want the fan from the ONA bucket on and too close to my plants since the ONA is strong and can affect the taste of your buds.

Don't know if I can post external links in the forum here but if you just google 'DIY ONA Bucket' you will find a bunch of super helpful tutorials and how to set one up. I also strongly suggest the Fresh Linen ONA scent over the original.

Best of luck and the girls look great! My BDM has been curing for about 2 months now and is delicious, you're gunna love it!

I have the ONA bucket and breeze fan that goes with it. HOPEFULLY, I will be able to use it when it gets stinky from all the budding goodness! That is, if my grows don't BOMB the fuck out!

Good morning! I am so excited about the flowering on CC. Now should I switch to flowering nutrients? Since I did not feed veg nutrients last week perhaps I should do one more veg. I will ponder on it. Gave every one a spray of absorbalight this morning. They all look good with the exception of the lighter green leaf centers, I don't know what to expect, will the current leaves clear up or just the new leaves not show this? Anyone??
The GT-50 and ONA gel showed up yesterday. So far very impressive. I have installed the GT-50 in the floor joist in the ceiling of the basement near the tent, about 10ft, it's at half power, full power was just too much! When I go down to check on everything I open the ONA gel jar and leave it on the counter by the steps. I need to build a bucket, but this doing the job for now. It passed the wife's sniff test and that is what matters ATM.

Smeghead, keep on keeping on man! Your garden will grow, I have no doubts! If I can get my black thumb green, then so can you!! Thanks for the kind words!!

willie just popped by for a quick look thru looking good about the nutes when you switch them depends a lot on you if you want them done faster switch as soon as you see flowers if you want them bigger then stay with veg nutes another week or ten days there is agood thread in the new growers section called the lifecycle of autoflowers it is very good read and explains this timing i am speaking of.

about your leaves my un educated guess says mag deficent but i am guessing.

please stop by my thread in the photo section and vote on which strains to start next peace:smokebuds:

Not much evident change except for growth. Everybody got a bit bigger. Cannot tell you how excited I am to see the flowers on the Critical Cheese!! This is so very cool. I will feed veg nutrients once more and then start her on the flowering regimen.
So here she is again, I am just fascinated watching

her.
