yea it gives them a skunky smell
which i assume is adding to essential oils
I also use it as a foliar spray
I mix the recomended dose into a gallon bottle
then i mix that solution with seltzer water for co2, and spray
they love it
I am also using bubbleponics
how far is your light from your plants
I noticed the closer mine is the faster they grow

well when they were small i had the light as far as i could put it. about 3 weeks in i put it down to 1 foot away then about the 5 week i had it 6 inches away but i moved it up today to 1 foot because the leeves where getting dryed out. it is 6 weeks old. Friday will be 7 weeks.

i have another question i am at 80 degrees F.
my humidity is 64 % to 70% do you think this is to high for flowering.
or should i get a dehumidifer?

I would say anywhere from 40 up to 60%. Higher humidity allows for mold and pest issues, especially during budding.

I am amazed with your plants.
Those girls are beautiful.
I have never had such plentiful branching.
I have gotten many spike type buds but nothing so Indica dominate.
I have found I like the 12/12 after about 30-40 days
They seem to respond better. But who knows.
No matter what you do, You are doing it right.
WOW!!!!!

One day shy of week 7, but it could be 6 week because I started thinking I might have forgot I never wrote the day down that I started.

Here is a little update. It looks like they are now making small colas in the first pic it’s hard to see though. It is not my main cola because I can’t get a good pic with the light on.

In pic # 2 you can see it filled more out then last week. Also note I am as far up on the light as I can go now.

In pic # 3 is the main stem about half way down the plant.

In pic # 4 is a pic of the main stem at the base. You can also see the two males that I cut, I couldn't completely remove them because of all the roots intertwine together as you can see in pic # 5 .

I have a little problem with my humidity it is going up to 80 % now. Here is a little more on my box. I am using a normal full size file cabinet with only one shelf on top that I got for 20 dollars used. I have an air-cooled 400w light. I am using only one squale cage fan of 280 cfm that is hooked up to a thermostat that is set to 80 but I change it to 70 because of the humidity. I have a small circulating fan at the bottom of the box. I have an order scrubber at the top. I don’t have an intake fan at all.
Do you think if I add another intake squale cage fan for my intake my humidity will go down?

the setup looks nice
I like the way its organized
although you might need to drill new holes to move the shelf up a litttle
as far as the humidity goes an intake should lower the humidity as long as the air outside the cab is less humid
are you in a hot region?
