You can go either way, just you seem to get more power pulling through the filter, but if you blow through it it will work as well.

Was it a one time shot or is it continuous. Maybe if you take it down and vent it outside somehow while you run it for a bit. Shipping may have caused a lot of the carbon to break up and settle.

Blowing through would be a last resort for me.

I just got a gallon bucket of ONA gel with a little fan on top. Man does my house smell great. I recommend it. Going to disconnect my carbon filter from my light cooling setup for greater airflow.

I never had that problem with my filter though and I do suck through it into the lights.

I was just referring to the size of her trichs, they look sativa to me...

On a side note, is that her natural color, or did you overdo the N a little?

Oh, that something new to me. How do sativa and indica trichs differ? It's pretty close. I did white balance my camera before I shot it. Since her transplant 40 days ago she's only been fed maybe 3 time's but I think it's only twice. I was just mentioning this over at HC's thread. My main nutrient that I'm using is called Bio Fish. It's an organic 3-1-2 and it's mostly whole fish emulsion. The other product is a Kelp Boost 0-0-5 that is 100% Atlantic kelp extract. In my coir mix I have the usual perlite and vermiculite as well as granular Rock Phospate 0-3-0 and Humik and Mycorrhizae. It's the Humik that I think is really giving things a boost in my garden. Not only does it contain so much goodness for the medium but it soaks up your nutrients and holds them, resulting in less feeding. This is what I was told by the National rep and so far it's true. Everyday I'm looking for signs that I should feed and I'm not seeing anything. I've learned that organic nutrients take longer to see results and to be patient with them but it also seems that they hold out longer too. I'm figuring this girl has another 3 to 4 weeks and I'm thinking she may need a half dose in a week or so but even then it's getting pretty close to end.

I'll try to get her in some better lighting later.
