I think the curling of the leafs was because i moved the light to close so far no signs of its curling anymore since i moved the lights a little bit farther away moved it to a bigger box with more room
The secondary growth is coming in very fast. The foil isn't to reflect light to the plant but onto the container so that it heats up some since the soil was cold to the touch

Alright so i decided what the hell im growing with 2700k for veg i might as well try the yeast idea for CO2. So i mixed up 3/4 cup sugar with 1 packet of yeast in a water bottle with a hole in the top and a straw fit snug into with the straw like 1/4-1/2 inch above the top of the plant. Ill see if i get any MAJOR increase in growth maybe 2700k+CO2 is key for awesome veg :D
Also its in a 1x1x1.5 box that is completely sealed and i shut off the vent fan for the co2 to hopefully build up around the plant if i see this works good enough i make a bigger mixture and whatnot
I thought CO2 was used mainly in the flower cycle..?
I wonder if this would help my 2 little seedlings that are all pissed off @ me..lol
CO2 is good all round
I've read some things saying the amount the Yeast makes is way less than what your intake fan brings in but with a good enough yeast/sugar/water set up you might be able to make enough pure CO2 to see noticeable growth. Some say that with a small scale CO2 yeast generator you can get like 20-30ppm so 1-3 wouldn't hurt since average CO2 in the atmosphere is supposed to be 300ppm.
So if you can raise the CO2 ppm by like 100 for like $5 why not?
Also if you try this try to keep the mixture away from the light. Here is the measurements 1L Water, 2 Cups Sugar, 1Tsp Baking soda, 1Tsp Yeast (i used 1 and 1/2) all into a 2L Soda bottle with a hole in the lid with a piece of tubing hanging over your plants since CO2 is heavier than air it will fall onto them. Just double for bigger containers And anyone who tells you this isn't worth doing is a complete and ignorant fool
Thanks Im going to try this today keepin my fingers crossed
Sweet its working already I put the end of the hose inside a small shot glass of water between the seedlings so I can see the bubbles
Peace
Hey I think we have the same problem..
I was stupid & took my seedlings out of the himid box too early..
WAY too early..
I put mine back into a aquarium got the humidity up to 65%
and along with the CO2 they are springing back to life ! :thumbsup:
What is your humidity inside your box..?
I bet it cant be that high made of cardboard..
You should put your plant in a big tupperware container made into a growbox kinda like the one you have now..
Peace
Ye mine could use more humidity with CO2 humidity should be less than 50% but my plant is already way past the seedling stage and CO2 is better absorbed at high temperatures but then more CO2 is needed at those higher temps. Also i am vegging with 2700k lights for now which are doing the opposite of what everyone says 2700K does to vegging plants
1 Day + CO2
