Also, it has good ventilation, intake at the bottom, exhaust at the top, the temp is between 69-72,,, idk about the humidity and the only carbon they are getting is when i check on them about every few hours and i blow on them lol i know stupid but i love my ladies this has turned me from trying an experiment to a real enthusiast... i read alit of things on here and love how everyone responds,,, i found my new home

Normal air has almost 1500ppm of CO2 all the time...so there is no need to supplement anything as far as I am concerned. The best thing you can do is not overwater and don't overfeed. Those are the worst things for plants...if anything try to underfeed and underwater. Giving too little will make the plant's growth not optimal, but giving too much will kill a plant. So better to err on the side of caution.

Till it feel really light. The dirt should start to pull away from the side of the pot.
It will start to wilt from thirst when it's real thirsty. Don't feel like it will die if you don't water every day.

Your definitely going to want to get more lights on them. Adding more lights will make a huge difference in the turn out.

When my set up is finished, I want to have 200 watts per plant.
