I use co2(1st pic) and for plants to use it and get the most from it I need lights on. I haven't did this on this grow just took a pic with main light off

Here's my veg set up
Mars II growth on and 600 watts CFLs mixed Kelvins of 2700,3000,3500,and 5500. The flower set up you see in previous post consist of 400 watts 2700 K CFLs and 6 Mars
PAR 38 fullspectrum and Mars II with grow and bloom on. So I'm giving them plenty of light LOL

@Jack Vault looking back through thread I just realized I'm the newbie LOL. Again I want to thank you for the opportunity to join the fellow members in this grow.

Once again I post my pics directly underneath @steff44 and his look way healthier than mine at the same age lol. I might have to give the 24/0 a try next time, having no sleep doesn't seem to have harmed them in his pics. Mine always seem droopier in comparison.
Day 28 for both of mine.
Got a slight smell for the first time when opening the cabinet this morning. Both still on water and seaweed extract only, watering every 4-5 days when pot is really light. Might add a 1/4 dose of nutes next time as the soil should start to become exhausted any time now, will play it by eye.
Both of these are way more mature for their age than the sour livers were - probably about 2 weeks in front. Downside is that they are not as big at the same stage, so I don't think I will be breaking any of my records this run, but you never know.

Valid point @Tx-Peanutt
I always look at other people's grows and forget i am only on my 6th ever grow, in a tiny little chest of drawers.
I do think that is the great thing about comparative grows like this though, i can see someone with the same seeds as me and think 'theirs look good, what are they doing differently to me, can i do that?'
If I can do it it gives me new ideas, if I can't it might be something I might be able to try if i get new kit, a new growspace etc, or at least it encourages me to try and do better with what I have.
As long as i get more than 4g dry i cover costs, if they don't die i class it as a good result, but as a noob the learning experience of doing this comparative is worth far much more to me if i am honest than how much ends up in a jar.

I'm at day 25 with mine and they are far less developed than yours! Due to crowded conditions mine are growing under t5s and I don't expect a huge harvest. There is a wide variability in individual seeds also. I like the comparative grows because they show a lot of plants grown under many conditions with different lights and mediums. It shows a wide spectrum of what the strain is capable of .

I would say just chillax on the watering bud u should be good, On another note I would ditch the plastic pots bro I switched to dirt pots and the like 5$ for 5 Gal pot and they help them grow vigorously, I have noticed the difference.... How much perlite u got in there

Roughly 20% perlite
I have a tendency to wait until the pots are light then wait at least another 12 hours before watering, so I don't think I am watering too often. But, even though I haven't watered to run off yet with the plants being small, I have been upping it slowly every time. It may well be I am giving too much every time rather than too often? 10 litre pots and last time they got 1 litre water each.
One other thing I have just done is put a layer of polystyrene under the pots last night. I had a layer of foam board under them already, but the floor is concrete and we have been down to freezing outside overnight already. Garage is unheated so it may be that the pots were getting a chill from the floor. Simple thing to alter but it may help.

Are those the self watering pots from Home Depot??? Or did u get the regular ones?? I used those same style pots u have and they had two different kinds why I’m asking... as far as watering goes are u making a circle around the stem or watering the whole pot
