Switch the CFLs to LED spots, you'll get temperatures down and more directed light (better yield). Next time you might want to try coco coir, more yield from smaller pots.

im going to build something bigger also I don't know how to control the odor my only problem . I can create a sealed enviorment with great air flow and constant temps.just odor is a bitch so I try to breed odorless varities
Yeah, just have to get yourself a carbon filter, or just make one out of activated carbon and whatever you choose to contain it with. I'm dealing with the same issue right now, so I bought a 240 cfm inline fan and I'm going to rig up a carbon filter to get rid of the smell.

My temps are in check now. I switched my lights to run from 8pm to 8am and now I only experience highs of about 79-81 degrees during lights on. I just got 4 3500k cobs that im going to use. I usually grow in coco, all last grows were fox farms coco loco, but the hydro store was out of it so I picked up happy frog instead. It's got "some" coco in it lol. Thank you for the feedback.

How can you tell when it's flowering?
When it starts producing more pistils at all growth tips, and you'll start seeing new leaves forming from the middle of the growth tips daily. Your plant will get pistils when it shows sex, but I wouldn't call it flowering till you start seeing actually formations starting to happen, looks like nodes stacking. I used to say i was in flowering the very second i flipped the lights to 12/12, which is wrong. Notice the lighter colored flowering growth tips in my pic.

I'm not using cobs yet my man! This growth is all from cfls! 6 23watters. I'm currently rigging my cxm22s. Can't wait to make the lighting switch. I have about 30 tops on this plant, all from lst from clone.
I went for cfl for veg and led for flower. The Buds are getting dense as Hell under the led. Still like the cfls tho. Ya got a cool lil setup!

Keyword "lil" lol it's already too small for my plant. It s diameter is wider than my boxes depth. Means I'll be building something bigger soon!

I'm fucked I want to make a new box but the odor control method will it be expensive resupplying the odor control . like carbon filters need replacing? I used to research a lot on homeade diy carbon filters .

Day 59 overall. Flower week 3. Nodes are stacking tightly for using cfls. Ive been removing all popcorn growth and leaves under main canopy. Plant seems to like it, no signs of stress. Already starting to get pretty frosty. Can't wait for the buds to lock my scissors.

Rigged a carbon filter out of cup holders, panty hose, and activated carbon. Air flow has not been restricted at all and it works well. I may do something similar, but on a bigger scale for my dresser grow box.20170610_033335.jpg 14970935480401921172348.jpg

Buds getting frosty, and growing steadily. I fucked up a bit and let the pot go dry, plant wilted, and the cfls burned the tops of some of the colas, so i clipped that shit off. Watered it and she's been doing fine for the passed 5 days. Got some main cola pics and smaller sub tops. Pistils starting to turn amber. Should recede soon, then bulk!
