Co2 when flowering??

[kripto]

Just wondering whats the general opinion on feeding Co2 to my skunky babies when they're into flowering(12/12). Of course this is only done when the lights are on, otherwise its pointless. Some say it decreases potency, i think it makes for huge candy buds.

Haha! Who says that!? Psychoactive resins are long strings of hydrocarbons. To assemble them, you have to have plenty of carbon available, from the soil (molasses and other sources) and atmosphere (CO2). Atmospheric CO2 is usually plenty, and you don't HAVE to add a sugar supplement to your feeding, but enrichment of the air or water with available carbon is a technique to increase both bulk and amount of resin produced!
Yay, carbon.

Don't forget it's useless if you have other problems in the grow.

so it shall be. CO2 to the babies. im figuring having a controlled atmosphere of 1500- 2000 ppm should do it. MAybe a little more??? or is that plenty of food for the nuggets.
