gday everyone. this is my first grow and as mentioned 5 weeks into flower. would really appreciate some thoughts on how shes goin. a lil bit concerned with some of the heads little leaves curling under a bit. not all of them are doing it though.... also some have alot of hairs others not so much..heat stress or too close to the light or? im growing for quality not quantity( of course the more the better) but its not what im aiming for. not much of an aroma yet either. also lil worried when i put my nose real close to a couple of the bud site theres a slight wet smell but also not on all of them and its scarin the shit outta me.
so..

info: Purple Paralysis is the seed i bought online(no sign of any purple or any other colour than greens yet tho so..hmm) .6x.6x1.6 tent, 1x400w HPS with a hood, 30 litre pot, RTW,100% coco, decent exhaust to the roof , intake from the room i try to open the window as much as possible. the temp sits around 24-28 degrees mostly and RH is 30-40% with the occasional 45-55%.
feed is canna cocoA+B , canna boost, canna rhiztonic, HG amino treatment and xtreme nutrients rhinodrive.

I think you are over thinking it, plants look healthy enough to get through the rest of flower. Dono what the "wet smell" you are talking about is, is it more like a hay smell? I cant see any obvious signs of PM or anything from the pics. The smell you are looking for may come in a couple weeks, but it could just be that they are genetically not stinky. You definitely got at least 4 more weeks, imo. Don't love em to death in the meantime.

Yea I agree, I wouldn't sweat it too much, they look good. They'll make it through fine, just keep it up.

Some strains stink like crazy in early bud, and some don't. I have had strains not smell much and then the last couple weeks of flower explode with fragrance. Then there are some that don't smell at all through flower, but after a nice cure, it's all good.

Those girls will yield you some fire, just wait, the first harvest is the best.

YOur doing fine. Ride it out and dont overdo it with nutes or attention. ;) LOL I have grown a few types that just have leaves that claw like that in flower. Lookes like you have a while left though. Remember, if they are from seed they usually take a little longer to flower than a cutting would.

What is your temp and RH then? If your RH is above 55% you need to get it in check. also keeping temps below 80. Use the damp-rid if you need to lower the RH. Its a quick fix.

Are all those plants in one pot? They do not look like they are short of fertilizer. Remember feed, feed, FLUSH. If your growing medium is not heavy (as in real dirt ) it is a good idea to flush out the waste nutrients or you will get nutrient lock out. Flush them out a couple of times (lots of ph'd water) if the leaves start to yellow after the pots dry out somewhat then give them a lighter mix of fertilizer. Your room is fairly warm so you can go with a not so strong fertilizer mix. At that temp and a dryer humidity you wont get moulding especially if you have good air circulation. In a small room such as your's with out much light you could take off some of the fan leaves to let more light through to the bottom area of your plants. Dont let your pots dry out. When they start getting light, water them, then fertilize. Feed, feed, flush. Flush flush, feed. The bud's will put on most of their weight in the last two weeks, when the seed pod's start to develop ( without seeds) The bud's will get very solid (green up ) dont cut them down just because the hairs turn red. Wait until the bud's get rock hard and you will get a lot more of a lot better product.
Imagine this: A 6 ft. long x 3 ft. deep x 6 ft. high box. Three 400 w hps. bulbs a 4" fan, with a charcoal filter. 40 plant's in 5" pots in 4 row's of 4" pvc. pipe for drain back, and a pump in a 5 gallon bucket to feed with 1/2 gal a min. drippers. 3/4 to 1 ounce of heavy bud per plant every 60 day's. Temp. a little under 30 c in winter and a little over in summer. 25- 35 ounces every 60 days. Smaller is better. grow bud not stalk. lol.
