Flowering's going well, buds are filling out nicely since I started giving them molasses, and they're ever so slightly starting to smell but not overly so. Which worries me a bit, when should they start reeking. I only really get that skunky smell if I run my fingers over them and smell.
Extraction fan turned up!!! \o/ after some debacle over the mounting bracket, i.e. the seller forgot to include one. I got it all set up. Loving it, except for the bloody racket it makes. Going to take some time to get used to it.
I've decided to dump my CFL's, I love them to bits but time and time again people have told me to get a HPS, so today I'm going to buy one online. £75 for the kit, 600watt Maxibright Megalight Ballast, 600watt sunmaster dual spectrum bulb, and one of those dimpled reflectors. Not sure what to do with my CFL lights after now... I might hold on to them and make a veg tent one day.

Had some disasters recently too
I split the stem of the plant I'm trying to LST
![Very Happy :D :D](/styles/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I just tried to stretch it too far and split the stem a little. I got a bit of string (my favourite tool) and tied it around the stem, this was about 3 days ago and the plant seems to still be alive and growing but I can't LST it any further. Looks like I'll be ready for SCROG soon too so I'll have to start building a screen.
Last night, I dropped my fan on one of my plants when I was putting it up. It broke off a flowering stem and partially snapped another
![Sad :( :(](/styles/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
The later I was able to repair and hopefully it takes. The other i re-attached it with a bit of sticky tape but it's looks like it's dying today. Aw well... At least it didn't get my main stem! That would have been a heart breaker!
partnerm, hello mate, this is my burned nug, it's looking a little ugly since I trimed the burned leaves off. Hopefully new growth will make it look pretty again. It's definitely stunted, when I look at the buds on my other plants they've grown significantly at the top whilst the top of this plant hasn't got any taller. which is good in a way as it's the tallest plant I have and a beast!!!
