Thanks Tahoe & Natmoon! Beachgrower, It is just arm & hammer to reduce the smell but it isn't working. I used dry ice in a little bit of water in the first week of flowering to produce Co2 but haven't used any since. I would drop a bunch of dry ice into a sealed bottle with two tiny pin holes on either side and could actually see my plants' leaves blowing from the gases. I hear that good ventilation will supply your plants with an ample amount of co2. I am going to get some more dry ice soon and use that in addition to regular ventilation.

"Gaseous exchange in plants is performed through tiny holes in the lower (usually) face of the leaf that open and close at appropriate times of the day. Carbon Dioxide is taken in for photosynthesis. Roots absorb water and mineral ions necessary for plant growth. Marijuana likes a small amount of air to reach its roots. This can be achieved by mixing a small amount of sand, polystyrene, permiculite or whatever, to stop the soil from compacting down.
You would be much better off feeding your plants leaves with CO2 and fertilising your plants roots than the other way around. The exact same way that nature treats plants!"

found this on another website, i hope it helps. if this is incorrect i appologize but it does make sense. alright peace:blsmoke:

New pics from this morning. Day 62 and 20 days into flowering.
Your plants are looking healthy but unless you want small fluffy buds you will have to add some more light and start feeding them with some kind of carboload product i.e. molasses,sugars,maple syrup or a shelf bought carb nute product:blsmoke:

Well I gave them a good dose of molasses and they seemed to perk up quite a bit. I will post more pics soon.
