Maybe lining it with mylar or even tinfoil would help keep humidity in..?
Are the emergency blankets made of Mylar?
Also once you know the CO2 is coming out you should let it fall onto the plants since some of the CO2 dissolves in water

Yes their mylar
I took your advice & lifted the tube above the plants :thumbsup:
I cant believe the difference from this morning
I figured they were dead..lol
Still a bit droopy but Im sure a day or 2 they'll be back growing :)
Well any amount of co2 is good at sea level it is 300ppm in the air but i live at like 1,800 elevation plus the plant is in a box in a closet so i doesn't get much CO2 going in and out so any extra will help.
Conservatively id would say that 1-2 2L bottles will raise co2 by at least 10-30% depending on how good the yeast grows which could mean life or death for sick plants
Added another one that just sits next to the plant with a tube sticking straight up so the co2 fills up the whole container while the First one lets the co2 fall straight onto the plant
Also i turn on the exhaust fan on every couple of hours to get the oxygen back out
Also added a piece of Mylar to one of the sides just for now i have like a 10x5 sheet but its kind of hard to cut lol
lol in the "old days" a bud of mine would always steal my old dutch potato chip bags I had no clue wtf he was using them for until I finally figure it out..lol
He used them to line the inside of his grow boxes not many people know but they were also made of Mylar also
How hot does it get in the box only turning it on every couple hours I'd think would get too hot in there
The box I made is 18Dx22Wx33H I have 1 55W CFL thats hanging & adjustable and 1 120mm PC fan in the top corner & a smaller 3" hole in opposite bottom corner & I'd have to have the fan on the entire time to keep it @ 77*
I lined mine with tinfoil but doubt I'll use it the closet its in is perfect for what I want anyhow
My babies now are about the same age as yours were when you started this post..
If mine are the same size as yours in 2 weeks I'll be happy..lol
Moved the light a little bit farther away and got me a mister bottle since the 2 oldest set of leaves are really thin and papery but that is about it no browning no discoloring just really thin and paper like leaves so hopefully with a little liquid encouragement they will plump up since the soil is nicely moist just the oldest leaves are being kinda lame
Yep mist inside there a few times a day the cardboard will suck most of it in & hopefully keep the humidity up to where you want it.. :thumbsup:
