Day 4:
I have to say, I'm loving this new hobby. My only regret is that I didn't build a larger garden. I wish there was more to do, and I seem to get bored or just waiting. After all the you tube video, blogs, journals and anything else I can get my hands on there seems to be a non stop list of orders going into amazon.
Well today I crafted a CO2 generator that's commonly found on DIY CO2 videos.
List of goods I used to craft it:
1 packet of active yeast
2 cups of sugar
1.5 litres of water
10' of clear plastic tubing
1 large bottle
1 small bottle
Hot glue gun
It's producing about 1 bubble of CO2 every 9 seconds and should last at least a month. I then have the hose from the bottle fed through the intake vent, which is then dispersed via the fan.
Frankly, I got bored. I read this doesn't make a difference until flowering, but I figured it couldn't hurt.
Thoughts?

Cool little build! The plants definitely love co2.

Hey Moss! Just noticed you have a journal. I subbed.
Looks good man. I like the 7 bulb fixture. Where can I get one and how much $? I like the carbon dioxide setup as well. If I could give any advice right now I'd say never transplant autos. You recognized that already though. Also, keep light 1-2 inches from plants. Use the hand theory... If its too hot for your hand its too hot for the plant. I bought some LEDs a week ago at home depot and they literally give off no heat. My CFLs I can touch for a second or two. The LEDs I can touch for eternity. Am def gonna invest in more of these bulbs. Near impossible to damage plants. Anyways take care good luck and see you again soon. Peace!

Thanks for the tips! I do have to raise my plants up my about a foot.
Here is the link for the fixture I bought: Zehui 7 in 1 E27 LED Light Lamp Bulb Adapter Holder Socket Splitter for Photo Studio Home Building Party: Amazon.ca: Home & Kitchen
As for the transplant, I realized that way too late or maybe just early enough!
Have your grown a lot of autos?

No I'm on my first ever grow. I just pass on tips I've learned from established growers. I think you may be subbed to my journal...

Day 5:
I watered this AM, then had a bit of a panic after reading and watching some videos on CalMag. I added 1.5 ml to 2L of water across 3 seedlings.
I effectively watered twice today for a total of 4L across 3 plants in 5 gallons of soil.
I know this is likely too much but I was worried about going another 2-3 days without those minerals.
Lastly I lowered my lights to about 3 inches off the seedlings.
Fingers crossed.

I like the DIY CO2 generator - gonna have to get me one built. Also, do you have a spec sheet on those lights? Like to see the PAR readings if any were available.
Subbed in.

Philips LED 100W A19 Daylight (5000K) Non Dimmable - Case of 8 Bulbs | The Home Depot Canada
Above is the link to the bulb. I will have 7 of those per plant when my adapter finally arrives.
I'm interested to see what you dig up. Keep in mind I have removed the opaque globe off each of the bulbs to get direct exposure to the LED.

Nice bulbs but a lil expensive for el Cheapo. I currently use the 60 watters at $2 a piece (Home Depot).
Will you pls post a pic with the globe removed? It might be a good idea but I also heard it affects the spread of the light.

Day 7:
Kids are growing up so fast. I watered this AM with CalMag. 1.5ml into 2L of water. I split that 2L across all three plants.
I'm growing a bit worried about the amount of space I'm working with, not so much the head room but foot print. As a result I have decided to give 2 of my plants the best spot in the chamber, and let one struggle a bit more. If I can see room will be an issue, than my struggling plant (Peterson) will move to a friends commercial grow to finish off.
Here are the latest:
Favre: The seedling I had to help out of it's shell, and wasn't convinced would make it by far my strongest.
Moss:
Peterson:
Thinking of starting my base nutrients on my next feed, thoughts?

I think the pros use water only for the first 2 weeks of growth. And be careful not to over water. Also, do you run a fan on your seedlings 24/7?
