FLOWERING = CO2 amounts????

Indoor Cannabis Cultivation Guide Version 1.2

BULLSHIT! thats one of the most un educated things ive ever heard.

people who use co2 crank it to 1500 ppms during flower. this guy knows nothing about co2.

i wonder how many people have deen led astray from people like this who do not know the answer but answer anyways?

scary.

During flower i supplement my c02 by using a tank and a regulator. I aim for 1500 ppm, but ive also heard growers report postive benefits from using as low as 600 ppm. I would say that c02 is more beneficial in flowering because that's when you really wanna boost growth.....that's where your yield and quality come from.

Marijuana thrived on this earth when c02 levels in the atmosphere were normal. If you imitate that ideal environment that cannabis craves, you'll notice tremendous growth.

Doubled yields; CHECK, Decreased potency ??? BUNK / Urban Legend

I assume this report was generated by someone against the COST of C02 tanks/generators. As the author states below, if true, the minimal percentage would be unnoticeable to the consumer, and only detected by a laboratory.

Many growers destroy their harvest (and potency) by improper curing and harvesting too early or too late. Blaming C02 for any quality failure is ridiculous.

i use bottled co2 with a regulator, and a controller set to 1500 ppms of constant co2 wile lights are on. the regular air we breathe has about 300 ppms co2.. remember, co2+light=photosynthesis. ahhh remember that word? your plant is already using co2.. to add to its growth and yield, co2 will almost double yield. and as for the potency issue, there talking on a lvl of 2 to 4 percent less potent, do to over efficiency in plant growth. so it factors like this... lets say 5 percent less potent.. the site says 2-4 so well round up, so if your an amazing grower with some of ed rosenthals personal og, at 32 percent thc,(average cannabis done right indoors is 16-22 percent thc) your gonna get 30.5 instead of 32 percent? 1.5 percent less thc? i challenge anyone to try and pick the 30.4 percent out of a lineup of 4 buds.. and think of it this way, if you have double the bud... just hit that bowl twice, lol! also, the tests were done to determine the less potency from co2 by organic gardeners, whos nutrients could not support the rapid growth. anyone using good nutes and a finisher, will NOT have these probs, also, co2 works best in a room over 82 degrees, below 86.. co2 often finishes plants faster, sometimes by as much as 2 weeks early. the overall benefit of running co2 destroys any argument not to. the potency as shown above is such a non issue, and the reward is beyond what you can imagine. i have grown tahoe og and bluberry kush both before and after running co2. same mother, same cycle, same nutes. i get twice as much in 1.5 less weeks. and it seems more potent now than pre co2. definitely do more homework than asking these guys on here there opinion. as no one that replied even uses bottled co2 with a controller. so how the hell would they even know? and also, the candle isnt co2, its carbon monoxide, natural gas emits co2 when burned. a good rule of thumb is, if the flame is blue, its co2, if its yellow/red, its carbon monoxide. the candle is literally doing nothing for your plants.. gl bud. my advice is to use co2. ive been growin for 7 years. 3 now with co2. i view it as essential.

Thru all of my travels on educating myself on growing I found this tidbit I need to add to this thread....my grow room is a spare room/lg closet and a night when lights go out I close the door....from what I read , if you wait to open the door 30 mins after lights come on.....the plant makes use of the CO2 gathered in the room from the night before...easy and free way of increasing levels...of CO2!!

When you close the door at night it only takes about 2 hours for the plants to use up the oxy and the co2 in your closet. That's why we have fresh air coming in all the time for co2 or add it. Plants need both unless conditions are right.

For plants to use more co2 than is in the atmosphere. Your room needs to be kept at 95 degrees flooded to 1500 ppm's for 4 hours flush with fresh air and flood again. Only during light hours as during the dark it's a waste. only fresh air during dark.

So never just seal a room.

OH, and all that co2 gets you one week off harvest time. Nothing else. no more or less potent or yeild.

Hi, i was wondering does it make a huge difference if i only turn off my extraction fans and leave the intake fans on together with circulation fans. I figure the CO2 will be better dispatched around the room. I plan on setting the CO2 on a timer for 10 minutes every hour when the lights are on and at the same time the extraction fans will be off. So the room will have CO2 for a total of 1 hour every 12hours @1500ppm. Is this a good idea or not. All comments welcome please.

Co2 DEFINATELY increases yield.. what most people fail to realize is that your plants can also take up WAY more nutrients in a High Co2 environment. Your potency will decrease if you use Co2 with the same feeding schedule because your plants dont have the nutrients they need in order to produce more resin! I recommend a "Ramp up" method that steadily increases the amount of food week over week.. while matching the Co2 ppm level with the ppm level in your food. I start with 4 ml/gal of grow, 8ml/gal of micro, and 6 ml/gal of bloom in the first week of flower.. Then week over week I increase the feed by 1 grow, 2 micro, and 3 bloom.. so by week seven I am feeding 10 ml/gal grow, 20 ml/gal micro, and 30 ml/gal of bloom. You MUST also use a B-1 vitamin like "B52" or "Vitamax" as these boost your plants metabolism and will help them handle that much food! If you dont use B-1.. your plants will likely BURN! By week 7 my ppm is around 2200... and I set my Co2 to the same value... Also.. my weeks are only 6 days! feed-feed-water-feed-feed-water is one week... So by the end of week 7.. there are actually 14 days left in the 8 week plant cycle.. during this time.. I turn off the Co2 and flush with solution like Final Phase or what have you... You NEED this much time to flush.. or your plants will taste poopy... haha... Ramping up the feed like this will keep the potency VERY high.. even with use of Co2 :-)
