I could be wrong but it could be the vinager, i heard your spoz to use Yeast,Sugar,water. for your homemade c02.

i use CO2 Boost - All-natural CO2 Generators for the purpose of CO2 enrichment and air fertilzation that shit works the best, but your plants are looking very nice mate! keep it up.

very well..I'll take the vinegar/baking soda out..I read somewhere its not manditory at this stage anyways..

after doing everything I did last night the plants look the same as far as the color goes, but I saw a lot of new growth develop in a few short hours...the way the leaves were curled made me believe it was the lights that were having some type of affect on the plants..it sorta looks like when you have a piece of paper under the light too long and the paper starts to "cup" up and dry kinda crispy...
its good to see that this hasnt slown the growth very much, I see a lot of stretching too now that I moved the lights a little further away..

pics of the new growth below...

Plant A

Plant A is growing fine, just hit a little growth spurt, now Plant A is the largest of the bunch.

Plant C

Plant C has a little burn on the edges, luckily i rescued this one before it was too late..lots of stretching going on with this one also.
Plant D

Plant D was the runt of the group, but this one also hit a spurt and is now larger than Plant C!

I know the burns arent nute burn, bcuz they're too brown, and the browning wasnt sudden, it happened over a course of days, not yellowing and curling that happened after a feeding, and nute burn usually curls down, these are curling up ...like they're stretching for light and turning brown... Plant B's case was so sever I had to give it its own post...

This was after I gave them a flush, so dont mind the leaves being droopy, they should pick up in a little while...

Plant B

I see so many journals where the plants 'shed' their first set of leaves, they turn yellow and just fall off the plant, after that the plant blooms like never before! hopefully this is one of those cases


Close up shot of one of her leaves, again this is only happening on 2 of her leaves but its still got me worried


Still lots of new stuff happening...lets me know that this hasnt stunted the growth very much


this is a shot of the "cupping up" going on with her, lets me believe she was curling or "rolling" as some tomato farmers call it bcuz of the light being too close


a shot of her other leaf

has anyone ever seen this before? am I rightly assuming its bcuz of the light? let me know if I should worry and start off another seedling..

all comments are welcome.

HEAT STRESS
so right now Im 99% positive that what I have is due to heat stress by my CFL's..I must've had these babies pretty close lol...well they always said get them as close as you can lol...didnt mean to fry the little lady..anyways, I got them about 3-4 inches away from the light, they gonna do a lot more stretching, but Im not worried about that right now, as long as they keep growing at this rate Im gonna keep a smile on my face...

Good luck with the grow man! Looking forward to reading lots more.

Yeah, I'm definitely gonna follow this this grow. I have two growing underneath my bathroom sink right now and I'd like to maximize the effect of the light by making a box. After seeing your box, I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it exactly like that. I don't wanna have to ruin the top to my rubbermaid, and I have plenty of boxes laying around with 5 26 watt 6500K CFLs. It was kinda unclear in the pics to me, how did you have your fan setup exactly? I see the hole in the side of the rubbermaid, is there a hole in the box too? Also, where can you find mylar. Neither Lowe's nor Walmart has any on their websites. Keep up the good work. They're growing a lot faster than mine.

Thanks for the responses guys..
as far as the fans:
I got one 6" fan screwed into the side of the box, and I have two 2" pc fans attached to the "CFL Hood" that I made. I'll post pics of both a little later on.

mylar:
U can get a 3x30 ft roll of emergency blanket (mylar) from home depot for like 2.99

thanks I'll try to keep this up to date to please my viewers

I wanted to attach some comparison shots just so I can see the growth from early this morning up until about 15 minutes ago

Latest Plant Updates:
It looks like Plant B has recovered nicely from that light stress incident , and again, all I did to correct the problem was immediately gave them a flush and moved the lights a couple inches away. Yesterday I noticed there was a bulge in one of Plant A's leafs so I tried to straighten it out, and once I did that the leaf started splitting up the middle!! :... so I just left it alone. During the flush I gave them the other night a little bit of soil splashed onto the leaves of Plant A, I rinsed it off to the best of my ability, but it mustve been too late bcuz I have yellow spots exactly where the soil spilled on my babe, but she'll be fine..In a couple days I'm gonna give them a nice flush of tap water again, bcuz they seemed to like that last time and on monday they will be exactly 2 weeks since they sprouted from seed, on week 2.5 or week 3 I'm gonna induce flowering bcuz I want to finish exactly on 4/20 so I can have my own bud to smoke! ::
But enough Jibber Jabber, heres my babies on today -Day 10

Plant A

^^See the split on the left leaf!? I also made sure to get that nute-spill-burn on camera too..


Plant B

^^Pulled thru that stress incident nicely...now the burned leafs are minor compared to the green and stretching you have been doing for me!


Plant C

^^My how slow you are growing! Your little sister Dee is Passing you up! But I still love you all the same..

Plant D

^^Her new growth is brown bcuz shes one of the ones I accidentally spilled the soil on too...but there hasnt been any signs of nute burn on her, just new growth!

How much baking soda & vinnegar per feeding??

well I dont FEED it to the plants, as in pour it on the plants or nothing..
I have a bottle setup so that 2oz of vinegar slowly drips into 2oz of baking soda, constantly releaseing co2 into the air..I took it out bcuz it was recommended it to see if there were any changes and there were, but I dunno if it was bcuz I removed the co2 or not, but Im gonna put it back in there and see if there is any new growth in the next 24 hrs. I've been talking to the plants a lot more to compensate for the co2, and I increased the air circulation by turning the speed up on the fan a few notches

edit oh yea, and I changed the light cycle to 20/4 to drop the temp a few degrees bcuz lately its been rising to mid 80's since its starting to warm up outside.

new pics on the way
