I've run co2 with a sentinel controller in with many mediums and applications. When I ran it under a test with new led lights i was using high pressure aero and running the co2 at 1300ppms. Cut off at 7 week for a 9 week strain. Could have been the lights, nutes, aero, co2 or all of it .Growth was vigorous to say the least. I was having trouble keeping up with all the foliage. I have since ditched the hp aero due to minor leaks and constant maintenance. Im curious what other application does co2 have?

I'm sorry I'm no master grower but I read in high times a long time ago that Co2 increases yield and cola size, you sound like you know your grow. I'm a new and never had a good grow just a waste of money

Maybe you need to concentrate on getting that first "good grow" before you start worrying about co2. I read in HT years ago that it can an will enhance a good grow but is not going to help a bad one. ;)

I would agree with one plant. You would need a longer veg but I strongly recommend you look into scrog. I feel that would give you the best canopy with one light. Also its very hands on, and the results are awesome.

So you have had experience with led and hps? How would u compare? Is it a trade off or is one better? I hear they making led pretty good these days....

I know what scrog is and its purpose but how do u set it up
YouTube has a ton of videos on scrog with Aero, NFT, Soil, ect... I might suggest you do a little looking around before as such a generic question. Errr, maybe youre asking it wrong? Your question is, you want to know how to build a net-like grid to help support your plants?

You are getting ahead of yourself. I did incorporate CO2 on my first grow and it definitely boosted my yield a lot so you could too, but it only worked out for me cause dropped hella cash into my grow and I had everything else totally dialed in. Once you actually have everything else set up then add your co2 by sealing your room, buying AC, buying dehumidifier, buying CO2 tank, regulator, and CO2 controller (NOT A TIMER, THEY FUCKING SUCK AT CO2). Be ready to drop thousands into this project, otherwise dont bother with growing. You know how pot is really expensive? Well thats cause its really expensive and time consuming to grow. Go figure!
