Everything looks good so far. Good job. Do you have a small fan you could use? I found that purchasing a small 6 dollar fan from walmart helped to strengthen my plants. Airflow is always a good thing.

Got pics of #1 it is doing great planning on transplant fri. #2 just now showing first fan leaves no pics today tho.IMG156.jpgIMG155.jpg

Starting to regret using MG soil. In the pic u can notice what looks like nute burn. Time release nutes in soil is a bad idea thought I could save on the soil and nutes this soil was cheap. Next time I am going with a non nute soil.

Made a co2 contraption. A milk gal. Bakeing soda. Vinager and a soda bottle.
I poked a small hole in lid and bottom of soda bottle so it drips every 4-6 sec.
put a hole for a straw in the milk gal container. Put baking soda in the empty milk container and fill the soda bottle with vinager1/4-1/2.
Put the lid on the soda bottle turn it upside down and push the lid of the soda bottle into the top of the milk contaner.
as it drips it creates CO2 I will aim the straw at my fan and the milk container holds itself and vinager bottle up and that's it.

I will be putting it in tomorrow I will let y'all know how it works and how long it last

for c02 you could also buy active yeast and make a yeast sugar solution in water with a tightly secured cap with about a 5 mm hole on a gallon jug nd a plastic bag with a few small holes poked in it tied to the cap
