co2

[Rastaman Vibrations]

Getting Co2 tanks filled all the time is expensive and draws lotsa attn. to yourself , A propane powerd 1 is dangerous in my eyes as a burn survivor . And yes , you can create a toxic situation for you and your plants if theres too much of it .

PS . Be careful if u do indeed use blocks of dry ice . It can and will burn the hell out of you in the form of frostbite .

I got a 20lb tank filled for $18 at my local firehouse supply shop. Just tell them you're going out paint balling and you use it to refill your guns.

I had the liberty of borrowing a C02 system during my last grow. Complete with tank, emitters, timers, and all that jazz. I didn't have a clue what I was doing, and only used it while I was vegging. But the plants showed definitive increases in growth in the short time that I used it before having to return it. My room wasn't completely sealed, and so probably made it less useful than it should have been... but I'll definitely be using it again. When I can scrounge up the money to buy the equipment for myself...

Ohh what a tease!

Co2 definitely helps. plants use co2 as ONE of the main blocks of photosynthesis, You must have enough light, water, nutrients, and a (mostly)sealed area for Co2 to work correctly. based on a lot a research ive seen 1400-1700ppm is optimum for most strains w/ some able to handle up to 2000ppm w/ enough light. IMO from what ive read.

Ohh what a tease!

It definitely was, I didn't want to give it back before I at least got to experiment with it. I wasn't keeping track of my ppm like I should have been, and I also didn't have my fans running on a separate timer. Still, in the few short weeks that I got to play with it, I could actually see the difference it was making. Can't wait to get a system of my own, I really want to keep it going through veg AND flower... I hear the differences are amazing.

today we start using it in veg....we are using it now, cause we are having a cooling issue. its staying between 71-78, but thats as low as it gets. a cold front here in FL, so the AC aint kickin on

Bummer about the cold snap, but I'd imagine in Florida it probably won't last too terribly long.

Good luck with the C02 enhancement... is this being used in your LED grow? I haven't had the chance to check out your entire log so far, but what I've seen has impressed me. Either way, best of luck to ya! :jointsmile:

[SnSstealth]

yeah, its in our LED grow....doing great though man....thanks
