I'm currently growing this strain right now, It's an easy and fast strain to grow :) I'm currently at 3 weeks into flowering. I got deformed leafs also for some odd reason, also don't trim your leaves best bet is to leave them alone. They look good!

ps. whats the week of veg? Looks like 2-3, I will also try to post some pics soon of mine.

and this is my blue dream harvest [video=youtube;NxRPoe3LvWY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxRPoe3LvWY[/video]
 
:hump:I came across your Journal and you seem to be doing pretty good. Your crop well over a pound.
Your wanting to beef up your CO2 . You can just go to a sports shop and get the biggest co2 paint ball Bottle. You can get timer regulators at pretty much any Aquarium shop or E-bay .
I don't use it much anymore I just use the east thing because it keeps it at a more constant rate and cheaper but takes more time . I run A 4x4x7(400 watt Dual Arc) grow tent and 4 2liter bottles will keep my room well over 1500PPM which is prime and this will last for about 2 weeks shaking bottle every now an then..It does go down when fans are on but fans are only on to cool about 15 minutes every couple of hours. To check this just go and get a cheap CO2 meter which you get at most hardware shops or e-bay.
The way I am doing it is that I have all 4 bottles going into one line which does a circle above plants with cap at end and holes in tubing.you do need to put check valves on each line coming off bottle. The circle thing makes a big blanket that falls on to plants. If you don't like the smell much just put a little baking soda in with your mix. This neutralizes the alcohol which is the by product of east an sugar which is most of your smell is with a hint of yeast which travels along for the ride.
Here is hint you light makes co2 so I let it vent in the tent and just put ducting on the cooling hole in shade and run it to about 6" off the ceiling what happens the co2 falls but the hot air stays up. It is not much but every little helps. Store bought co2 can get expensive.

@zigzagfreeburning thanks for the tip... i was just thinking in getting a 20lb. tank from my local hydro store... it would run my $300 tho:? but the refills only are $17, i think thats ok right?
oh is that Dual Arc a good bulb? i was thnking i getting one too
 
They are one of the best bulbs you can get. it gives you best of both worlds for veg and flower. you can get them in 400(200x200),600(200mhx400hps),1000(400mhx600hps).
I promise if you not a die hard HPS guy you will not go back.I use the 400 dual arc and the only place you can get it is the net e-bay here is a guy who sells bulbs keep .Half what a hydro store would sell it for.
You will like this guy's prices on bulbs and any kind you want from 100 to 1000 http://stores.ebay.ca/Hobby-Lights-Oneshop/Dual-Arc-Lamp-/_i.html?_fsub=1446205018&_sid=857783538&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
