Just started 12/12 today Im hoping for the best... Just a question for anyone with an answer.... My plants have been stinking pretty bad for like the last 2 weeks but i just put them on there flowering cycle....? So anyone have any ideas? Is that just normal because there MMJ plants? I guess i kinda figured they wouldnt stink up the whole house till they actually started flowering...

They will stink that mofo up bad dude, even in veg once they get going. If you don't have a filter get on one asap to filter the area.

I think you chose perfect timing on switching over! Well done. Is it right that you're using FFOF for medium? If this is the case get your hands on some garden lime or a bottle of cal-mag, I always had deficiencies in that department after 2-3 weeks of flower. Killer plants dude, stink is gooooood, I love it, I lylelovet.

it looks good for veg, but theres not even close to enough light i had 300w on one plant and only got 45g dry. also you need a reflector your losing half your light even if your only bouncing back 50%of your lost light its better then nothing.
Maybe look into a big piece of duct that you can cut to fit over your lights. and use wooden dowels to keep the ends open.

i drew this really quick just to give you an idea, some one else had built one that looked real nice but i cant find the thread. Thats just the basics you'd have to built to suit your needs. I would try and get one wide enough the just fit over your lights as the are and maybe have it held up by a different chain that way your lights and just literally hang inside.
Good luck growing

For those plants i would get atleast a 150w hps to add with the cfls when you start flowering,
but optimal for best budding results i would get a 400w hps and also keep the cfls on also you would
get some big fat non airy buds, Thats the thing with cfls the weight is low and the buds are very fluffy
not dense rock at all

use chelated elements, they prevent the ions in the coco from binding as much

Happy New Year Sk33
