I see you have a reflective mylar, what kind of lights are you using?
Your soil looks way too wet. Even if you just took the pic after water it looks like the roots are not getting oxygen due to wet soil. Also...i see no peralite or anything in the soil....you need that to add oxyegen to the soil, otherwise the soil will compact after time and the roots with suffacate.
Let it dry out more. Your plants are little and the roots are not too deep. A little water near the base of the plant and a few inches out should be plenty. Listen to the plant, she will tell you when to water.

You are going to want to seperate those plants in a few weeks before it is too late and they root bind.
Also....what you feed the AK may not agree with the LR and vice versa. You will want to set up seperate pots so you can feed them differently if needed.

You have LR2 growing so naturally those plants will be small.
That one brown plant looks dead. I doubt it can be saved.
Seperate the plants into diff pots and add peralite.
Hold back on the watering and nutes for a minute.
Get more lights in there. Co2 is for when you have the rest of the shit down....then you can turbo charge them.

They can and will benefit from Co2 in veg....but it is best used in flower.
Spend that $100 on a hps light instead....check out craigslist for cheap ones.

im growing the auto ak mix just that.
i will spilt the plant out the bin into the two white pail tonight.
so i should put all six in pails.
i only over watered when i noticed i did the nute burn and the leaves where drying up, i just started warting this way as off 4am.
i will not water until tomorrow as of knowing this.

ive got pics of my grow area in that section.
im using 5 105watt cfl 5000k, but i do have another one if i need to hook that up around .

Can't wait to see how your girls fare, man. I had one that looked just like that yellow dude up there - don't know what happened but it just turned yellow and died. Runt of the litter or something

ok so i took your advice and spent 80 on a used 400 watt hps its came with a bulbs its red so i presume its the flowering bulbs, but since this is auto flowerer, it should fine i hope.

this bulb should be at least 38,000lumens
hopefully this will give the ladies the kick in the right direction.

you said something about you nute burning them?

you shouldnt be giving them nutes at such a young age man.

You got a good deal on the light and the orange one is what you need.
A MH bulb would be better at this point for veg but the HPS will work just fine.
You will see a drastic increase with your over all yeild....and come next harvest you will be looking for more lights.

Keep them on a 18/6 light cycle. If you decrease the light on those LR to 12/12 it will effect your yield greatly.

Good luck.

PS...expect your temps to increase by about 15 degrees if not more....make sure you have some kind of vent system to pipe that hot air out and cool air in.
This can be done by fans and leaving a door open alittle if you cant go all out vent system right now.
