Hello ! So as your soil is a pre-fertilized soil you will not have to use nutrients until the end of week 3 , however you can start using nutrients for roots such as rhizotonic or enzymes right now on the 1st week to settle some benefical bacteria in your soil . Then you will probably need to use a Grow/veg nutrient ( a couple time ) to help her during the late veg and the 2 first week of flowering then you need to switch to a bloom/flowering nutrient and maybe some Pk booster and taste enhancer if you think it is necessary. Now concerning your Co2 generator I think you can use it cauz Co2 will remain the same molecule but the Co2 need to be controle so check it and make a little math to know if the generator can be set up to automatically power on or off when CO2 levels reach a specific ppm (higher than 2000ppm will kill your plant) , and you have to know that Co2 is more efficient with high temps like 30/32 °C. I hope it will help you 😁👍

Your plant is doing fine , you will see that during the flower stage your plant will gain a little height with a lot of mass. As for your light situation i would likely go and get more lights because in flower more light exposure = more and bigger flowers . You can make due with what you have now but from what you describe its not enough . You will run into a few problems if you dont have enough light for flowering one of the problems is that the development of the bud sites and the buds themselves will be slower , the buds wont be as tight they will be more airy and you may not get as much of a yield . That's not to say you can't still do it with what you have now cause you can it will just affect your yield big time . If your on a budget or not that interested in spending big $$$$ there is cheap alternatives to get the job , the cheapest way would be to get a digital ballast from amazon or w.e they sell kits with the lights for like 50 $ or you can get T5 super output lamps to combine with what you already have for like 30$ a piece there is lots of option's to choose from but its all in what you wanna do with it ! I hope this information has helped on your journey to becoming a grow master ! <3 -Happy Growing!

Hi @paparazzi! Avoid any kind of stress after the 2nd week of flowering, you don't want the plant to drive its energy into recovering, you want her to give everything she got into bud fattening & resin production. Indeed your plant looks small, but at this stage there's not much you can do, LST (or any other technique) won't help you to get more nodes, this should have been done earlier. Hope that makes sense, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
