Bagseed from some good couch-lock this go 'round. I'm in a new location and we have well water and other variables to contend with.

I'm still trying to select a good indica dominant breed to help with anxiety and sleep disorder

Day 5 on 12/12 schedule

no signs of sex yet...really need to cull the herd soon. Added a few more CFLs on the right side to brighten it up on the corner. Overall very healthy growth.

Picture is a combination of 12/26 and 12/31 to show growth progression.

Here's an idea that may be of use to you.

I have a good carbon scrubber, but wanted to muffle the exhaust and give me a little extra protection since I exhaust into another area of the house.

This is a take on the well-known bucket ONA air cleaner. My current setup is as such:

|Carbon Scrubber|----hose----|Vortex Fan|---hose---|through wall|---hose---|Bucket with ONA and water|--->exhaust through holes, then through vent in wall



The bucket also muffles the exhaust sound and the vent in the wall allows the softly scented air to waft out. I spray a mixture of bleach and water on the walls inside the enclosed area to inhibit any mold that may occur from the raised humidity.

the grow is looking great and there exploding real quick,+ rep,my question is,whats are those red square patches just under the plants.

those are covers for the access holes. They're made from the cut-out circles and my wife's pink duck tape. Yes, hot pink duck tape. Sigh, it was all I could find...

Obviously influenced by my duct tape choice, the buds have turned pink two weeks in

2 weeks since first hairs and they are looking happy. The flowering stretch seems to have stopped (and not a moment too soon), and they are very healthy
