It’s the C02 that you’re saying is bs ? @Caligurl i misunderstood lol 
They were saying, for indoors, I’ll need c02 for any light 1000w and more because the plants won’t be able to use so that light

Yeah, I call bs on the co2. I can see it for professional grows but for our grows, I say its a waste. Personally, I am SO FAR AWAY from dialing in all the other factors before I worry about this.
Here are a few good clips from an article (I’ll have to post the link on the other side)
A Guide To Using CO2 To Increase Yield
Since carbon dioxide (CO2) is essential in the process of photosynthesis, many cultivators assume that adding tons of CO2 is always a wise decision. While it’s true that supplemental CO2 can increase plant yields, there’s no guarantee this method will work. Extra CO2 only works in combination with other healthful growing habits. Plus, if you don’t have the right light intensity when adding CO2, you won’t notice any benefits from this element. Anyone thinking about growing weed with extra CO2 needs to know how to add this compound to their space to achieve the best results.
How Does CO2 Help Plants Grow?
As mentioned above, CO2 is a necessary part of photosynthesis. Green plants like weed need CO2, water, and light to create carbohydrates as “food” for growth. Without these three essential elements, plants wouldn’t have the strength or energy to mature. Plants that can’t access CO2 will only survive until they use up all of their stored sugars. Therefore, maintaining a steady stream of CO2 is essential for all plants.
While the atmospheric average of CO2 (i.e., 400 parts per million CO2) is enough for plants to grow, cultivators have noticed benefits from adding additional CO2 to their grow spaces. Increasing the available CO2 provides weed with extra nourishment, which often speeds up the growth process, prevents pests, and results in higher yields. Some cultivators notice the average growth speed for their plants increases by 20-100%, and the total crop yield could be 20-30% more than without CO2 supplementation.
Light Intensity & CO2 Level
Even if you’re adding 1,500 ppm of CO2 to your grow room, your plants can’t absorb all of this CO2 if you don’t have the proper light setting. You need to increase your light intensity for weed to use the supplemental CO2 in your grow tent.
Light intensities of 200 - 300 μmol/m²/s in PPFD are only suitable for average atmospheric CO2 levels of 400 ppm. In other words, you won’t get any extra benefits from adding CO2 to your grow space if you keep your PPFD in this low range.
When adding CO2 to your grow room, most cultivators recommend keeping your PPFD and CO2 ppm scores equal. For instance, if you’re going to create an environment with 600 ppm CO2, make sure your grow light’s PPFD is at least 600 μmol/m²/s. Similarly, if you want to max out your growth potential with 1,500 ppm of CO2, you need grow lights that can achieve at least 1,500 μmol/m²/s.
As a rule of thumb, weed cultivators recommend setting your CO2 and PPFD levels as follows for the maximum benefits:
- Seedling Phase: provide your plants with 200 - 300 μmol/m²/s PPFD, and simply with fresh air. The existing CO2 in the environment is enough and more will hurt the seedling’s growth.
- Vegetation Phase: strains will require 600 - 1,000 μmol/m²/s PPFDin this growth stage, and as you relatively increase the CO2 level to 600 - 1,000 ppm, the rate of photosynthesis will speed up amazingly. At this stage, the best fixed CO2 level is 1,000 ppm, however, a more acceptable CO2 level is 800 ppm for most tent growers.
- Flowering Phase: the ideal light intensity for flowering is 1,000 - 1,200 μmol/m²/s PPFDfor tent growers, so the relative CO2 level is 1,000 - 1,300 ppm.
- Ultimate conditions: During the flowering stage, you can increase the light intensity to 1,500 - 2,000 μmol/m²/sand the CO2 level to 1,500 ppm. Growers who have reached this level have recorded a 100% increase in plant growth.
According to the above data, maintaining the CO2 level at 1,000 ppm throughout the growth stages is the most convenient and budget for home growers. While for professional farmers, trying to achieve 1,000 ppm in the vegetation and handle the 1,500 ppm of CO2 in the flowering will gain the most.
A Few Final Tips For Using CO2 To Grow Weed
As a final piece of advice, please remember that CO2 won’t “magically” make your weed grow faster and bigger. Like any good supplement, CO2 only works well when all other factors are accordingly optimized. A lot of CO2 won’t be of benefit if your soil quality, watering schedule, and general cleanliness are off. Offering the matching environments and nutrients is vital when adding extra CO2 to your plant growth.
High-quality ventilation is also crucial to ensure the extra CO2 you’re adding gets evenly distributed throughout the canopy. Plus, plants need higher PPFD scores to absorb any excess CO2 in your space.
Cultivators should always focus on general gardening skills over monitoring CO2 levels. While adding CO2 has its benefits, it should never be the primary focus. Cultivators should only start experimenting with CO2 when they’re confident they have a handle on the basics.
