Hello gang of greenthumbs I need some advice on co2!
I only use it in veg and for the first 4 weeks of flowering… after that I don’t really see any benefit during the rest of flowering…
What else would you like to know…?
Although I should ask you , are you in a sealed room with no air exchange…?
Thanks for the reply @peachfuzz in a well ventilated 4×4×7 veg tent w/400w mh and a 4 bulb t5 forget the wattage and a 8’×8’×8’ spare room with a 1000hps and 400hps also well ventilated both can be sealed to contain co2
If your able to bring in fresh air , then co2 is only added when you have more light then is needed and it usually doesn’t help after 4 to 6 weeks into flower… after that I think it’s just wasted money…
In veg is where I see the results of adding co2… my plants grow so vigorously that a major hair cut is in need before going into flower … that’s also when I get to take the best clones from all of the overgrowth…
I run a perpetual grow… so I need good healthy stock to keep the train running…
@peachfuzz I appreciate the info I will give it a shot in the veg tent going to try a home contraption w/sugar n yeast before investing in a system I like the sound of yielding a $#!+ton of clones I too want to maintain a perpetual had it for quite a while til I foolishly accepted clones from a friend did not realize until it was to late f’n spidermites wiped out everything last spring never had them in about 20 years now I know better unfortunately I had nothing to start with until another buddy gifted me some beans now I’m starting to get there again fingers crossed and much more cautious
That’s the tale of all of us at one point are another…
That’s why the best advice I can give to another grower … is never take clones from someone else… you will be doomed at some point or another…
No lie… and if you run a perpetual grow , then you know it takes up to a year to get back on track with a clean environment and good stock to breed…
@Garden_gnome I would love to tell you what I use for co2 … but unfortunately it’s to dangerous for a small operation… and you would need fire suppression just for this application…
But the grow bags and other co2 additives I’ve seen seem like a good safe idea for introducing co2…
Just not sure its necessary for just a couple of plants if you have fresh air exchange…
