Get rid of the CO2 bag ... it will offer nothing to this grow , since temp is to low for plants to utilize.
Plus it should have been hung above to release CO2 ( which is heavier than air ) to rain down on them.

High 80s temp allow the plants to open up to it. Leds are not very good at heat. And often need supplement heat introduced. Autos need as much light as you can throw at it during its short veg stage especially..... so it can grow the rootmass as quickly as possible BEFORE it sexes out around week 5 ( day 30-35 ish ) . You can also LST them to “ open “ them up for better light penetration.

As far as LST just tie her down how far do I bend her?
As for lightning I have a 1200w Beatva Led and the 35w corn light 6500 I used to get I believe useable light to penetrate foliage rotating periodically here are more photos is this ok I will move co2

I bend over so that the growing temp is pointing outwards/side ways. Just don't pull it down so far that the growing tip is pointing down towards the floor. If you're worried about the stem snapping, then just bend it over a very little bit, and continue to do so each day until it's as opened up as you need. I do this to all of the growing temps that group up in the center of the canopy, essentially creating a dozen or more bud sites that would've otherwise just been little popcorn nuggets. Those little popcorn nuggets can easily grow into branches of their own with direct light. :) Forgot to mention, but you can get plastic coated wire that's great for tieing and training plants.
