First Grow Using Co2! Does Co2 Shorten Flowering Time?

Dehumidifier? I like my at RH @ 45-50% in flower. That AC unit is a dehumidifier. Low humidity is good with co2 enrichment and extraction thru carbon filters especially, you're doing good.

Thanks my dude thats what people say they say I'm fine with the humidity I have just getting some extra "piece of mind " helps me not harsh my mellow. The smell isnt that bad so I only turn my carbon scrubber on every couple of days should I run it 24/7?

CEAhaze thanks for the input! Much appreciated! So actually tomorrow I'm three weeks out from harvest. Has to be that time ready or not due to circumstances. That will put them both at 72 days of flower. So I should cut the co2 off during these final 3 weeks to let the flowers ripen? Hmm I haven't heard that. But I'm totally new to using co2 also. I think I may have read about it somewhere but not to in depth. Anyway what happens during that time w/o the co2? What if you have co2 going till harvest? Just trying to figure it out. I appreciate the help!

Sorry for typo but what I meant to say is I cut off co2 in the beginning of final phase. When using co2, you also have to account for lights, temp and humidity cycles, feed cycles and nutrients to maximize co2s benefits. Since I'm only giving them water for the last two weeks, it would be a waste to give them co2. Plus this is the time the plants ripe. I had a grow where I used co2 in the end and co2 till final phase with the same strain. To my experience, the grow where co2 was cut earlier was a more potent smoke. I suggest you do a grow of each so you can compare as everything is all about experience. I am only sharing my experience.

sup man.

My plants are finishing up to 1 week earlier with co2. Or perhaps I should say they are entering my acceptable window of opportunity for harvesting 7-10 days earlier. I still go out the full 60-70 days but have harvested @ 52 days (incredibly high odor strain had to go) with nice full dense potent buds. Was actually one of my best crops! Get a good loupe or mini microscope and let the plants tell you.
