run a good carbon scrubber and ya won't have any smell at all... provided the scrubber is large enough. but you do make a very valid point ... you do become used to the smell so ya cant smell it LOL :joint:
mine are 50 days into flower, has the old skunk shit in a pineapple smell ..... good smoke, i usually let them run close to 70 days or 50% amber trich's
like CEEJR said the big bloom is a additive/base for their grow big and tiger bloom ... hence why they call it the FF trio. have patience you can't speed up nature without effecting one thing or another.
i believe that the dark period gives the roots time to grow ... i tried a 24/0, 20/4, 18/6 .... my plants liked the 20/4 best, i think it more depends on your strain and what it likes!
this is just wrong ... i run HPS through vegge and flower .... my plants are all thick stemed and very tight nose spacing, so tight its hard to clone cause there's no stem hardly.
genetics are genetics ... i have been running the same plants for several years, every 6 months i run the mother and keep a fast clone to replace her with. potency doesn't seem to be a issue as long as they aren't mistreated and abused.
