Added 2 more cfls to bring my total actual wattage up to 138. Total lumen output is 8700. All of this for one plant. How do you think that she will respond to that? Temps is steady at 75.5 degrees and humidity steady at 42% both of these calculations are lights on. Min temp at lights off is 68.8. Here she is as of today. If you look closely you can see some hairs.

Wow am I amazed at how fast they grow during flowering. It seems like everyday they are so much bigger. Definitely starting to see tons of hairs and some bud formation. Check her out:

Ladies are still going strong. Just started them on the nutes today. Think I screwed up a couple of colas by not raising the lights in time. Take a look and see if you think it is going to be a big deal. Input appreciated. Here they are:

ONA gel might work if a filter isn't an option, and Concord Dawn on here turned us on to the "TrueAir" filters for under 20 bucks, you can buy them at walmart, it's like a mini carbon filter that just sucks in air from the surrounding area and scrubs it for smell, plugs into a wall socket or extension cord.
