I try to keep things as simple as possible, so I have never looked into co2, what does it do for the plants?

Well CO2 does wonders for your plants growth and flowering it can increase yield by 35%, its all based of ppm and normally theres about 300 parts per million in our atsmosphere but in out grow area we can increase this by ALOT, plants natrually like more CO2.

Quick Update- I Watered with 1/4 Fox Farm Grow Big and 3 Teaspoons of Big Bloom(Total Ppm= 250) Ph-6.50. With the CO2 and nute feed im sure its gonna grow alot more today.

CO2 is heavier than room air... so you want those above your plants. think about running airhose directly to your plants (both methods produce a bit of pressure, and the CO2 will move itself). Also look into Exhale CO2 bags, they are cheap, and can be hung at the top of your unit, to rain down CO2 on the plants. I personally use CO2 Boost systems, which has a pump, and airhose to pump the CO2 directly to my plants. My plan is to get an Exhale Bag, and a 5 gallon bucket, and retrofit the pump from the CO2 boost. The Exhale bags are twice as much, for 1/4 the cost, and work under the same concept.

Sup Guyz! All my Plants are doing fine so far, CO2 Deff. Helps. I Fed them 1/4 teaspoon SuperThrive and 1/4 Teaspoon Cal-Mag Plus(Total Ppm= 80) cause as u can see in sum of the pics the lowers leaves are getting a little yellow. My Next Watering im gonna leech my soil with Fox Farm Sledgehammer just to get the excess salts out.

Quick update Ppl, I watered my plants today with 2 teaspoons of Fox Farm Sledgehammer in a gallon of water. I sudgest to every soil grower to make sure you use sledgehammer every 3-4 weeks cause nothing suxs more than having a crazy amount of built up salt causing nute lock and destroying ur plants. I Also Refilled my CO2 Bottles

how early should you feed auto flowers for their first dose of nutes? i was under the impression that as seedlings pure H2O was best. but i just checked Fox Farms feeding schedule and it says big bloom as seedling and grow big not until week 2? does this same schedule apply to auto flowers? since some only go 65-70 days?

Sup guyz, I watered my Plants yesterday with just 1/4 superthrive. barely raised the ppm. Just luv it cause it gives the plants alot of good micro nutrients. Also my Big Devils are looking great. Now i get why they called them "Big" Devil cause they are alot bigger right now than my Afghan kush. They are on their 4-5th nodes Afghan is like 2-3 lol but hey kush is indica and big devil is a mix of sativa and indica.

Sup guyz sorry i havent updated my grow journal in awhile i lost power for a week 
I had to wake up mad early every day to give my plants sum sunlight. It was tought thou because i had to keep reajusting them since the sun rises left to right. in my window the sunlihgt goes right to left. It really sucked becuase my plants are really starting to take off and that slowed them down abit but since i got power now i refilled my CO2 and going 24/0 for the rest of the grow. But threw this crazy ass week 2 of Big Devils showed sex & both are females. im waiting to see my others show.

That sucks about the power. Nature always try to throw a wrench in our plans. Keep on growing.

Im almost certain that you stunted your plants a bit by giving them all those nutes so early on. But i guess this also depends on what kind of soil you used. If you used soil with any kind of nutes in them than you really shouldnt need anything until they start to flower. But atleast wait 2 weeks
