First indoors grow Log

Maybe lining it with mylar or even tinfoil would help keep humidity in..?

First indoors grow Log This is my second grow the first one was outside and did not turn out because 3 days of rain and then 3 days of like 80f+ killed it This is a little late i would say its about 1-2 weeks old 2-3 days For germination and the rest for seedling growth. Ive got it under 2 26w and 1 23w CFL with an 800rpm computer fan blowing cold air through the bottom so it stays nice and cool. The desiccant is just to get any access moisture out Up until i got this one to grow it took 3-4 attempts to Rating: 5

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

[Mrbig1]

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

[Mrbig1]

Also i turn on the exhaust fan on every couple of hours to get the oxygen back out

[Mrbig1]

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

[WickedJack]

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

[WickedJack]

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:
