    Problems already!

    that so weird I think you should def get a IR themomiter, they are $20 at radio shack and it really has made a diff. No more freaking out on hot days I can easily see how hot my walls are, and what the temp of each plant is, the soil and water you give it. It was well worth the $20

    Problems already!

    I dont think that will do anythin, MG has perlite in it already. when they get bigger a good trick is to get seltzer water and spray them plants once a day. When it drys off the leaves the co2 will get absorbed by the plant
