If all else is equal, which it sounds like it more than likely can't be because they have different PH levels which means they aren't drinking from the same cup sort of speak, I would raise the others to what seems to be working well.

Try not to lock yourself into what you've read. These are guidlines....not hard fast rules. The best thing you could do....you've done. Pay attention to your plants.

Everyone's grow is different. What works for one may not work for another. You see which plants are doing well. Try to make the environment the same for all and the lagger should pick up growing like the rest are.

Good luck...I'm sure you'll get ironed out.

uncontrolled open fire is always a sure ticket to disaster dude, bad idea. then rather stick to the bottle;)

Yeah a lit candle? You would really do that? That's not a good idea. Open flames can do amazing things. I would think also that a lit candle wouldn't so much create Co2 as it would deplete oxygen which would make the room technically higher in concentration of Co2, but I don't think it would make a real difference.

a lit candle the candle is 1in by 1in so it should not light the place on fire and its one for every plant. the way i have it there will be no problem they are in metal trays and theres nothin over them and they only burn for two hours. i also heard of pepole using propaine lamps and it works relly good for carbon M so the candle are just as safe

im not gonna knock it because i havnt tryed it, but if anything i would be afraid of the girls absorbing harmful shit from the propaine and the shit thats in a normal candle today even. but if your gramps says it works, then do it up my friend. i would definately be careful about the flame though.

bro if you want to do co2 the natural way just get some regular yeast from a grocery store and mix it with water and let it ferment in a milk jug (cover with paper towel) and it will just consistently release CO2 into your environment.

I'm sure he's happy to hear that almost 4 years later after the thread started. Congrats on thread necromancy from 2007!
