Wow, hopefully that's just a smelly strain because if you only have 2 flowering and it seems to smell a lot I'd hate for my two plants to start smelling out side of the grow room 
. I don't have anything to stop the odor and if any people outside smells my plants I'm fucked lol. Anyways your plants look beautiful, I like the scrog, I want to do that for my plants but I really don't understand how to do it. When they grow through the squares are you suppose to just keep pushing them under the screen and stop pushing them back under when they're flowering or what?

Black Rain!!
They are looking good. I am trying to decide whether I want to do a scrog next time indoors or just try to FIM them. I'm leaning toward FIM because I'm lazy and don't want to take the time to scrog.
I can get a decent deal on Cali Orange bud and I think I will try them next.
I have about 2 weeks left on this grow and I have 15 plants vegging for a possible outdoor grow. I'm gonna veg them till I see preflowers before putting them out.
Keep us up to date!!!

Update #??? who knows, but she smells pretty.....
Hey Dog, I'm not sure when this plant will finish and I don't really care lol I just hope she bulks up a bit. Yes those clones were a very nice surprise, I'm really looking forward to the jack herer, I've heard plenty on it, but never grown or tried it.
THC•20, Hey man thanks for stopping in. Yeah they're going to stink at some point, you just need to be prepared for it. Build or buy a carbon filter, it's well worth it. A scrog is pretty simple, just keep all the growth under the screen and only let the buds grow upwards, I'm sure you can find some good info on the site on it and if you need a hand just ask.
Oblidio49, hey, man I didn't do much to this scrog and it turned out good. That cali sounds tasty me and my buddy are striving to get as many strains as we can this summer. I can't wait to see your outdoor, it's still my fav. way to grow. I can't tell you how many problems I've been having lately with my cab, temps and humidity or yeah and the smell. If I ever build another cab it will have the biggest exhaust fan I can get and a pro carbon filter.
Zeus my friend, thanks for the kind words. I'm pretty happy with my flowering grow, now the clones are another topic.
Okay it's been a hell of a day. I put an AC unit in my bedroom to combat the heat/humidity. I took my bubble cloner out of my cab and put it in the clone closet I set up, I'm hoping the water temp will be more manageable. The temps in my mother room are nuts. I don't understand where all the heat is coming from, the only thing I can think of is that the heat is coming in from the vents in the top of the mother camber that vents into the utility room, of which that is where the flower chamber vents as well, then it all goes out the back into my filter. I'm thinking that maybe all that heat isn't venting as fast as it's being collected in the utility room. I may have to do some reconfiguration at a later date. I may have too put a separate vent out the back of the cab for the mother room instead of venting it into the utility room.... does that make sense? lmfao I'm just supremely discouraged about this problem, I've been trying to fix it for a while now. I may try capping the vents to see if that helps what so ever. I now have a fan in the flower room one in the mother room and one in the utility room to cool down my ballast. I took out the t8's and put in cfl's thinking that would help the heat problem, but it did nothing but take up my time. argggggg
Okay on with some pics...
M x A 43 days....
The M39 scrog....
Some M39 clones that will be going outside in the middle of june.
My new White Widow clone ... she's a beauty. I'm going to do some crossing with this for sure.
My M x A mom, looks like I need to take some clones again.
Well that's it for now ... pretty sure I'll be taking the scrog at 60 days, trichomes are mostly white. My buddy takes his at 45, but I think I'll let it go a bit longer and see if she bulks up. The M x A hmmm no clue when she'll be done, she hasn't really shot much resin yet and I'm sure she'll witch broom a bit more I hope love that sativa look ...
Take care...

Hiya Black Ra1n 
Wow, can't believe I've been missing such a fine grow!
That M39 scrog - man, she's a beauty - looking like she will yield like crazy! Your WW looks ripe for breeding - real looker. Not to mention your M x A - how long do you think she'll take to be done? Very fine looking garden my friend, gonna plop my beanbag chair - no not those kinda beans 
- over in the corner and ogle your girls.... Be safe and happy! -MGJ

Damn everyone stopped in all at once lol thanks guys. Ummm damn it's cold, it was 6 this morning here ... global warming? good thing there was cloud cover this morning or there would have been frost for sure, suppose to be just as cold tonight and unfortunately it's suppose to clear so I'm hoping the wind stays up so there's no frost ... I'm on my way to check out my outdoor and pot those new clones I got. First some shout outs...
NorthernKronic, hey man, thanks for stopping in. The M x A is Moroccan x Afghan she's mostly sativa as far as I'm concerned. Man I was checking out your grow, magnificent show man.
TML16, man I have 2 sets of venting fans in my windows, 2 ac units lol and it's not much of an issue now.... you ever have one of those moments when you finally find out the answer to a problem and wonder why the hell you never thought of it in the first place. My humidity problem was my bubble cloner in the mother chamber, as soon as I took it out the humidity dropped from 65/70 down to 30 ... it also went down a bit in the flower room. I've been putting ice packs in my flower room just before the lights go out and it does drop the humidity quite a bit. I took some old yogurt containers and turned them into ice packs take care man. I should have some WW clones or can get some if you're interested.
sackoweed, hey man thanks for the props. The m39 should be done in 2 weeks if the schedule is right. I've grown this strain for 2 years so I pretty much have her dialed in. Can't wait to try some of the crosses I made with her, I love my 39, but I also like a little taste change
BonsaiGrower, hey man nice to have you back. Yeah road trip is in order my friend, another brother wants to come down too so we should all get together around the same time and do some swapping of wares take care man...
BeAn, hey man thanks for popping in on my lil show. I was very impressed with what you have going and was sorry I was late on that thread, but you can bet I'll be in there now, take care man.
Kooki, thanks man, I'll be over to see your show soon.
Mr GreenJeans, hey man, yeah I'm pretty pleased with everything. The M x A ... I'm not too sure on her, I haven't seen any other threads on her here so I have no idea how long, but I'm guessing she'll be 70 or more. That WW is going to be crossed with a few choice strains I have my hands on right now, thanks for stopping by.
Well I bought all I need for my seed cab, going to run 3 cfl's with a rubbermaid top/bottom cab. It will be nice and small Take care everyone....

Outdoor update!!
Outdoor update!!
Hey Dog, it's not going to be back to normal here till Friday, I heard Saturday is going to be 29 plus, weather is nuts man.
Hey, well I finally have some growth on the 3 outdoor I have out right now. I normally don't plant until Fathers day, but decided to defy mother nature LOL. I had put a brick on each of the plants I'm going to peg this year. I may decide against pegging the M x A if it takes too long to finish. I may opt to rip her out and replace her with another strain I have kicking around. This year I'm going to do a few peg's and the others will be left to thrive naturally. It's kind of an experiment to show just how much more you get with this method.
So here's the picks of before the pegging.
PPP
MxA
Here's what they look like after some pegging.
PPP
MxA
As you can see I just spread her out, I guess you could call it SOG. Yield is insane with this method as you will see in late October when I slice em down.
Here's an M x A I have potted until I decide to put her out, I topped her once and will probably do it again later.
I potted those clones I got. The first is maked H, not sure what it is yet, but I'll find out from my buddy.... really hoping she's Hashplant or better yet Hashberry ... if so that will be replacing the m x a peg. The next is Jack Herer, I'm probably going to cross this baby with something I have. Next is 2 Afghans and last wasn't marked so I called her mysterio
Well that's it for now, I have some clones to do..... work is never done hahaha
Take care all...

Hey Zeus thanks for the props man, it hasn't been a good week-end so all these posts help put a smile back on my face.
Bean, this years o/d could be the best yet. I'll at least have a bunch of strains this year.
Core, I'm not sure about the afghan. Are you talking about the o/d clones I got or the MxA?
Well I came home to get ready for a party, opened my mom box and the temp was 99 in there. My two bub seedlings are toasted, I was so pissed. I stayed overnight at my moms last night and didn't make it back to my place until late this afternoon. I really wanted to grow those bitches lol, I'll have to get some seeds next year Everything else was good, I have a WW shooting roots in my bubble cloner ... I'm through taking M x A clones I have so many I have no idea wtf to do with them. We had one hell of a storm last night, I have a short video, but I'm not sure if you can post video on here, anyone know? Well I'll update tomorrow, my flowering light is off. I'm going to cut a hole in the top of my mother box and put in either a vent or a comp fan to exhaust this heat, it's driving me nuts.
Take care....
