Thanks MJA already have the GT50. Cannot smell anything at the exhaust port and my tent is concave from the suction, two Ona buckets and still having an issue. Argh... I did not expect this, I thought I did my homework. Harvest time is coming and That makes me real nervous.

Hey willie man things will work out don't worry, I'm sure of it. You have done an excellent job thus far and I know those dried bud pics r right around the corner. Glad to see those buds r heavy hitters as expected lol. You think of growin an heavy indica next grow? One with some hard knockout power for the night time to help with that insomnia.

Hey DoctaP! Thanks for the encouragement. Ya it will but as you know, when you're in the middle of it's hard to see the end. I have to get the room built and that requires finishing the cleaning out the old flooded crap in the corner I plan to use.
Next up on the schedule ares some Stone Dragons, supposed to be heavy weight medicine especially good for sleeping. I have 6 regular beans and hoping for a good amount of females. Might even try to get a male to flower if I get one and save the pollen. Also hoping that cured properly, my current crop will do the job as well. So far it certainly works well!!!

Since you have the GT50 already, how does it work for ya? I think toxic levels are >.10 ppm, and the GT50 only disperses <.05ppm. So what is your take on the thing? headaches, throat and chest pains? I am still teetering the pros and cons.

Hey MJA, I think it helps a good bit. I have it in my basement where the tent is. I think it has gotten rid of the basement smell. I would use it if I did not have grow down there and I knew how well it would work on that basement smell. As far as the distinct aroma... I think the widget is too small for the size of my basement and without the Ona the odor would be more noticeable.
Trim inside of your tent, and keep the tent closed all day when the time comes. Bring snacks, and music. They smell to high hell once you start cutting them..pulled the plants out one at a time my first harvest.... never again (unless your neighbors are far away and are certain no visitors will come).
Home cooking is your only hope of completely masking the smell at this point if it's not fully contained. Look up some crock pot recipes and keep that sucker cooking all day if you are having company.

Need to count down again, sorry lost count!
Thanks SB. I have a small tent, 39.75"x39.75"x60" and I am 6'2" 295 lbs. I would be a tight fit with the three big stinky girls and me!!
Seriously though, I plan to get that basement mess cleaned up and build a quick space out of tarps until I get the real room going. I hope to make it enclosed enough to pull this off. I figure I have a week maybe two tops to get it done. Then it's really got to be harvest time for CC at least. Well you know, I was going to join the procrastinators club but they kept putting off the meetings!
The odor problem has really put a damper on my activities, photography, gazing, etc. It's open, check, water/feed and zip it up quick! It will be nice to have a place that will seal and I can take my time again.
Other than the odor and spousal disapproval ratings on the high side things are doing great the buds are swelling nicely. Interestingly I felt the plant under the CFL was doing better than the two under the LED. I have since moved the LED down about 8 inches, Perhaps it was to far away. It's at about 10-11 inches from the main bud. Need to get the tape and measure it. I think I need to raise my expectations regarding final dry weight, it should be decent. I don't want to hazard a guess due to lack of experience but it sure looks about 2-3 times what I had hoped for!! W00t!!!

Hey Willie, I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in, I have the advanced led grow light with the veg and bloom settings and the lowest I go without damage is 8" to the top of the plant. At that point it is a thin line between full potential and bleached top leaves. So you can even drop your light another inch or two if you really wanted to, but that is all up to you! :tiphat:
