Can a lack of Co2 slow flowering? I've got six plants in a space of six cubic feet and a very slow to crawling flower first half. I was just wondering if lack of Co2 could be the prob?

What kind of light do you have ? In 6 cubic feet with no air exchange the co2 is gone in an hour or two.

Earth has 300 ppm for free , just use lots of it. NOW CO2 TANKS MUST HAVE A MONITOR , OR IT CAN KILL YOU. REMEMEBER NEVER GO AFTER A DEAD MAN. . NOTE YOU CAN NOT SMELL OR TASTE CO2. Open all doors and vent the space before going in. Note about 50 people die each year for co2. The 1000 bucks for a monitoring system is well worth it. You must keep the background ppm to 1500 for max production and keep the heat up to about 90 df. to maximize you output.
Please do not kill you self over a little pot. Although coffins are much more expensive than co2 monitor. save money and live :D :D ;)

Coffin cabinet grow.......thats hilarious. Guess it would have to stand upright on end though. We should make a special cross of strains for this and call it Nosferatu or Dracula Bud or something. I'll get on it right away!!!!!!

Puff, we hope you follow all safety precautions...
If you don't post here for over 2 weeks, we'll assume the worst...

Thanks for the concern :thumbsup: . I'll make sure i vent properly. Already got it in the works. Next friday i will get an injection system on a timer. The room that my cabinet is in is well ventilated and the amount that will be injected into the cabinet will not be enough to fill the room. For now i have the regulator set to the slowest amount possible to pass. Pass gas, get it. Anyway, more Co2 is better than less. Six ladies in a small space could use some, right? Or does anyone think that i should wait till i can get the injection system?

CO² is also used in Aquariums to balance the Ph. Yes you can use it to keep your Ph balanced for your plants too. They make controllers just for that the aquarium hobby people use them. A few growers use them as well that I know of. They make it easy to fine-tune the Ph to match the cycle growing technique I keep talking about.

I told my supplier what Zandor said. When they asked what i was going to use it for i told them for my "aquarium" plants. They said OK and filled my tank. :thumbsup:

This is the controller if you are intrested, you still need a CO² tank and electric valve but you can get one for about 100 bucks or less.
