I would start the CO2 now if not soon.

Keep in mine that maximum CO2 absorption is gained around 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

I started mine just about when my plants got to where yours are now and they have been exploding, check my journal.


What DIY method are you using?

I am just using the sugar water and yeast combo right now, but I am going to use the jello method as soon as my gallon is depleted.

It should be fine on the little ones, just make sure there is some air flow for them.

Edit: They will be fine

Ohhh...one lil question, for how much time should i keep the generator there, and is it necessary to make a different generator for every plant?

My gallon generator has been going strong for 2 weeks but is starting to diminish.

You wont need one for every plant, I have 2 going for my 6 plants.

Even with the exhaust on the CO2 still passes by the leaves if you have it placed properly.
