Dude i just checked that out and its WWAAAYY over my head, what would you think I should do in my small space? If you don't mind working out the math and what i'd need to do, i'm just really bad with numbers and things like that.

what is yours 2 Rubbermaid’s stacked so it like (LxWxH)3.5'x2'x3'
to bring your room up to 1600ppm co2 approximately mix
.5 liter of store bought vinegar with 40 grams of baking soda
This will create enough CO2 to fill up your box, but u have a wicked exhaust system, that will suck the co2 right out, so if you really want to do it I would make a drip system.

Damn, what's a drip system?

A drip system would be something set up so that water or in this case co2 would get let out in small amounts slowly over time instead of all at once. Because u have an intake/ exhaust system the co2 would get sucked out in a few mins if you put it in all at once. So a drip system lets the co2 get released slowly and continuously

Hey bro, not sure if this has been mentioned but that Elmers Spray on Adhesive is very flammable, even when dry. Please be careful!

Cool, then when I get home tomorrow afternoon after work ima train more, prolly water and nute aswell. The soil was still moist today, funny the temps have only been like 7 degrees cooler, but that makes a BIG dif in how long till I need to water next. Temps have been 86-89 steady, but i'm still gon cut another inlet hole, it'll be getting warmer around here soon, and I don't want those flowers to get too hot. Lol, I think I'm starting to see little tiny buds form, and they've definatly shown sex, we've got girls!! Lol, though I was pretty sure they would be. I picked off alot of that dead undergrowth from when they were nute startved today, they seem to be responding well to the bloom nutes. The girl on the left got burned a lil cause she grew into the bulb again!! Damn she is anxious. I check them all the time but lefty does this all the time behind my back. All the new growth looks nice and green and good. If it wasn't for those lower leaves that got nute starved they'd look perfect! Lol ,damn that non nuted florist soil. I've learned my leason about that, next grow i'm def getting proper, tried and true soil. I'll take some pix tomorrow after I train, I wrassled up abunch of twist ties for this next round of training.ive seeen people lst a few weeks into flowering to help deal with intial stretch id do more out neccasity though some strains get fussy during flowering wouldnt wanna stress them

Well here is a much needed pic update. I did some major trimming off of dead and dying leaves. A also did some major LST today, I wish I could get a screen inside the 'maid and still be able to work on the girls. But I don't really think it'll work well with the way my setup is. While bending one of the top middle cola branches in the middle plant I half snapped, not snapped, but stressed out a branch, no breakage or sap or anything, but it's def crunched a little. I hope it'll be alright, but I THINK it should, that would really suck if it died But it should be cool I think. Here the pics, some shots right after I got done, then when I was putting them back in they looked so nice I had to do a top down shot, that's my fav, then a pic update of the mystery plant, it's getting big and in my way, so it's out of the box and near a window, lol.

never use tape.. use organic things like twine or yarn, tape will cuz off the air suply to that area.. if it snapped take like a papper towle and fold it hot dog till it lokks like a blindfols then just tie it around the snaped area..
but it sounds like u hardly touched it

Yea she seems just fine, infact they've grown alot since yesterday with the training and nutes. I hope they don't get to much bigger cause I'm running out of chain and space for the lights!! I thought I stopped vegging them at the right time taking into account they might tripple but shit, they're really taking off. I hope they stop doing that and just start putting all their energy into the buds soon.

Well the girls are getting bigger and bigger, I'm pretty sure that i'm just going to say fuck it and install a screen and find some kind of tube for when I water them. Cause they're isn't much more room for vertical growth due to the lights hanging down so much. So i'm thinking I'll do one more LST session tomorrow and find a screen and a tube, and i'll post some more pix tomorrow after i'm done.
i love the purple
