lookin real good man. ive used ona before. i had the small things of it. i left it inside my cab. while taking out the smell it kinda took the smell away fromt he buds. after taking it out and leaving it in the room the buds had smell after a few days. i would suggest some sort of a carbon filter. this is where a cool tube would come in great for you. it would all be inline. here is a link at what i was looking at.

i know that stuff can be made at home with store bought stuff but its something to give you an idea

I use ona pro gel, works great for up to 2-3 plants, after that a carbon filter is needed.....looking great bro!

Thanks for the comments fellas!

Just got back in from the store. I grabbed some gel to try first since it was pretty cheap and won't require any mods to my box.

I scooped a bit into a little plastic try and put it in the exhaust of my box. It fits right in there. Hopefully it won't kill the smell of my plants since I have the tray DIRECTLY in the exhaust stream. It will be running all day, so we'll see how it works by tomorrow evening.

Fucked up thing is, the only reason I really realized how my house was smelling was because I went away for 24 hours. And got back and was like wtf?

The gel is interesting, doesn't smell bad, kinda fresh smelling, but I hope it doesn't become a bother.

Hey LetitGrow and Crazy..... how long does the gel last? I see they sell recharges and whatnot.... but if the amount that I am using now does cure the smell, how long before I have to spoon more into my exhaust fan?

Still a tad too early to tell, but I think Group C may be a Hermie. Tried to get the best pics I can, will give it some time of course as it is still very early.

yeah man got a hermi. it will become more defined over the next few days. you can either snip the balls you see now and continue to do that or just trash the plant or let it grow and get seeded buds.

Just finished 'Making it Rain' on my smaller plants. The larger one that has about a week to finish is still not quite dry enough. Maybe tomorrow or the day after for that one. My one plant that is ready for harvest has been in darkness for about 36 hours or so. I will be trimming that shortly and adding some pics of the harvest.

Here are some pics of the smaller plants from today. Also included is a pic of my main cab which has a lot more space in it as of now! Almost ready to transplant my Jock Horrors into bigger pots!!!!

Upon further inspection, I don't think she is ready yet. So I have decided to put her back in the cab for another week or two. I have ordered a scope so I can get better at realizing when the plant is ready to chop. Here is a pic of the full cab again:

And I here is some bud porn. I was messing around shooting pics through a magnifying glass.

And I was just messing around with shooting some pictures THROUGH the eye loop and have some pretty cool pics. These are from both of my mature plants, you can see my trichs are still pretty clear, and NONE of them appear to have turned amber. I plan on harvesting at the first sign of ANY amber anywhere. This has me thinking, I probably pulled my first harvest waaay too soon as well?

If I had a higher res camera, I'm sure the pics would be even nicer!!!

mmmmmmm nice and sugary i would let bout 20% turn amber thats just me though. you will get a tad more weight to
Waiting however long it takes for THIS harvest should be easy this time since I already have a few zips curing still. Harvesting at the right time this go round should produce some much more stellar smoke. And I think the last batch was excellent, so this one should be phenominal!!!

So here are some close ups of a few nugs from the last harvest. This is herb that has been curing for a month now so far. You can see that there is no amber anywhere really. All the trichs that appear visible pretty much still have that crystal clear look to it. Probably nowhere near milky.
