Man this is a great grow, just got done basically reading it most of the whole 25pages. I really hope this can help comfort and ease your wife's pain bruh.
On another note, Nirvana really should use your pics as their main photos on their site for the strain you grew. they look so much better and for a first time grower.... WELL DAM!!
If you plan on ordering more seeds from them post some of your pics on that weedportal thing to obtain points for discounts on the next time you order from them. if you do.
Subbed and here for the ride

If you have time look through this thread.I kept a close journal of how I fed the plantz.
I waited like 2-3 weeks after transplant to use nutes.FFOF has enough nutes in it for the 1st 3 weeks I've read.
I've fed them when the lights were on.Every 3-4 days until flowering.Then it was every 2-3 days.
Hope this helps guyz.

50 Days of flowering
85 Days from seed
Watered the girlz today with 2 Tbl molasses.
Haven't seen any amber trichs yet.
Looks like a lil nitrogen def. after I stopped giving it nutes.

Wow this is awesome!
I'm hoping to put together a tent like yours in a closet maybe. I'm also in an apartment so I'm kinda wondering about smell, my neighbors would probably be pissed if it reeked up the hallway lol.
Did you find a good solution for the smell? What do you when you dry them out and stuff after harvest?

No...Using different watt bulbs in a certain ballast can cause damage, shorts, fire, etc...But it will most likely just not work.
Ive heard of some instances where this worked....but it was for certain ballasts...So you should get a 1000w bulb for that ballast.
PS The hoods dont matter much....for wattage at least. Some hoods have different sockets.

Thanx Leon...
I use a carbon filter,odor neutralizing gel beads (from Target stores $4) and a homemade muffler/odor control thingy,using fabric softeners.
seems to be working ok..I've had peeps over and no one has mentioned smelling anything .
Oh and this is my first grow.So I haven't harvested anything yet.I plan on using a Dry Net in my tent to help filter the smell while drying.
Peace

Woah nice, so you rigged up a whole system for the smell. Kinda like odor control on both ends so nothing can leak out?
If I'm seeing it right, the fan pulls in through your fabric softener muffler, then sends the air through the hood to cool the bulb, then it blows out into the carbon filter? Is there a hole in the tent behind the carbon filter to let the air out?
I guess the tent isn't perfectly sealed so the gel beads are to cover anything the carbon and fabric softener doesn't get. Do you leave any of those bottom flaps open for the plants to get fresh air or would the smell pour out of those flaps?

You have it backwards....The fan is on top of my tent sucking air through my carbon filter,through my reflector out of the tent and into the box that muffles the sound and adds a lil bit extra odor control.The beads I place in a small cup that hangs inside my tent.I also put the lil container the beads came in on the floor of the tent.1 container usually lasts about a month.Its not 100% smell proof,I can still smell the plantz when in flowering.I leave 2 of the 3 passive intakes open to draw fresh air in.
When I know peeps are coming over I plug in a few room deodorizers in to the wall sockets and place laundry and the box of fabric softeners on the bed next to the tent.Makes it look and smell like laundry day at my house...LoL...This is the best way I have come up with disguising the odor.
Hope this helps....

If you're running your air through a carbon filter you should be able to get by without all those scented things. All you need to do is create negative air pressure inside the tent. To accomplish this close up your tent as you normally would and slowly increase your exhaust fan speed until you can place a piece of paper next to an intake vent and it gets sucked in. By doing this, you're limiting or all together preventing air from escaping anywhere but through the carbon filter. This means no back drafts that are carrying the smell coming out of the un-sealed parts of the tent and intake. Assuming you don't have wack humidity and your temps are dialed in, the carbon scrubber should do it on it's own.

Hey H,
I'm getting negative pressure.Anything I put in front of my passive intakes sticks right to them (paper,cloth,etc).I still get some smell though...maybe my carbon filter isn't a good one.I bought it from HTG supply with a 4" exhaust fan setup ---> http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=52531
I looked at phresh filters and a few others,but they were way more expensive and I had spent so much on the grow already.My fan doesn't have a speed control.Don't think I need one since the fan is only 170cfm's for a small tent.I understand what your saying,but I'm still getting a smell from the tent.So I use the other things I mentioned to cover the lil bit of smell that is still coming out into the room.I have no way of exhausting the spent air from the tent to the outside of the Apt.
Some one mentioned awhile back in my thread to try and use a carbon filter pad to replace the fabric softener sheets I'm using.I picked up something similar today that I'm going to add to my box to help cut down the smell.
