Ok one more of the plants
Look for the yellow polyurethane hose, it loops around the whole crop. The hose has a 1/16" hole drilled by hand by me every two inches

Are you raising the hose as the plants grow?

The holes go through the hose on both sides, the blue and silver tarp collects the heavier Co2 keeping it somewhat contained during the atmospheric dissipation process, I have been gassing for two weeks now, the first bottle has barely lost any pressure or weight. Each tank holds 175 cu. Ft. Of Co2 comes in at about 850 psi at the regulator fresh

There are several spots where the hose is already over the top of the plants
The gas falls down but then dissipates in All directions as gas molecules do so I don’t think that raising the hose is really needed but yeah I do it anyways. These kids are enduring LST training I tie them bitches down and gas them into submission.

Because of the LST. They won’t get much more than a foot taller I just keep tying them down then all the growth tips think they are the top bud in a couple more weeks I break out the chicken wire for scrogging. I will probably just lay the hose on top of the screen .

On a side note, i notice that I have been promoted to eight green dots under my screen name I wonder what that means?

A few days ago I made a joke @MadScientist expense about some scrawny plants that came out of his grow tent. Really folks it was just humor. But these are those same scrawny plants after a few(4) days I think
See new side growth the new top growth looks good too
This is the other one I fucked up and broke the whole top of the plant off
The side growth exploded like I FIMmed it
When I broke the top off I threw it in a glass of water where it stayed a couple days, yup I forgot about it. Then I took it out of the water cut the bottom of the stem at a 45° angle scarified the stem and stuck it in a 16oz. Cup of soil
It too is still alive, let’s cross our fingers gang it is looking like it might be my first unintentional clone.
Looks good right? Will they notice if I sneak it into the 16oz. Cup challenge? I didn’t think I would get away with that.

Then some crazy technique that requires you to bust your plant. That’s more than A game💪🏼
Lil lady looking good. I trim off the tips of fan leaves, so the little roots it is trying to form can use that energy instead of the leaf.
Those leaves will shrivel up first, doesn’t mean it isn’t taking root, just the natural cycle of expending useless plant parts. Make a straight cut across them or fan like a geisha fan. Or don’t and just see what happens.
You might have a found your own method for success. 
what is the light reading you are getting from my understanding you dont need to supplement co2 untill your reading over 1000 micromols of light
I’ve never heard of micromoles before seems like everyone has a different scale, a quick check says I am pumping 145,000 lumen measured at the top of the plants with my light at 24" from top of plants, a couple of Google searches says 7,500 to 10,000 is required for enrichment. I guess I that means enough light on hand, my present grow will also get 3 250w hps to get some red spectrum during flower
That reference is at www.growweedeasy.com
Micromols is a reading of par photosynthetic active radiation just4growers or Everest Fernandez has some really good info videos on YouTube should totally check him out

well lumens are a measurement of light visible to the human eye so is not necessarily a good measurement for plants. PAR is light between 400-700 but grow lights these days also use light outside that spectrum (UV, infrared). PPFD and micromoles measure the density of light rather than the brightness. the amount of light passing through an area. one micromole of light equals just over 62 quadrillion photons and PPFD is measured in micromoles per square meter per second.
