i know , its like a creepy addiction. go to work and think about your plants...wake up and think about your plants.....

seem to grow so fast but so slow haha
 
Those look about the size of my largest. (unfortunately there's a ten-day age difference between my biggest and smallest plant. That's complicating the switch to 12/12, but I'm looking at a week from Monday for that.)

Those plants of yours definitely overcame some hardships, but they seem to be doing great now.

i beleive power is cheaper for people on off hours or something of the sort

so like people are on a power sliding scale? that sucks! live in a small town still expensive anytime of the day!!!!! lol

? for u...if i wanted to say dye my plants a diff color just for bag appeal...(i know i know it sounds like im trying to rip people off but im not) so it looks cool...can u add like food coloring to your water when u feed? does anyone remember the celery trick that we learned in elemetary science class?..celery stalk in glass of colored water and it turns the whole thing colors cuz its drinking the water.....u can do it with flowers too i remember doing that......well does this same concep apply to weed too?

different strains' different smell's at different times... bag seed is random...but you can get some gooooood ass bud if your lucky


worst case....you need to build a plywood box install a few fans and get somekinda fan that reduces odor in the air is what my buddy grower has told me to do but the cardboard box wont mask it gotta have the fan in a enclosed area....30 bucks for the wood probably. 100 for fans in told im sure

sorry if thats a rape to your budget grow im sure there are cheaper ways that i dont know about but my advice is...when you do make a box.. make it so it last long enough to outway the cost by far ya know? im sure this isnt gonna be your last med's! keep on truckin bro

or another thing my grow buddy told me was he used to get a spray bottle and some soda water and just folier(sp) feed the plants. the only thing about that is that if you dont have good air movment you can get mold bad!!!
