Co2 question and resin production

So i get this letter piece from a pst on here. My question


Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide is a gas that is essential for the light reactions in all plants that carry on photosynthesis. CO2 is absorbed through the leafs stomates and is combined with water and light energy to form glucose (used by the plant as energy) and oxygen (which is released). Therefore supplementing CO2 to the existing amount in the air will speed up photosynthesis and therefore, growth will occur faster. Experimentation has also shown that CO2 can help marijuana tolerate higher temperatures (up to 95 degrees F) with little affect on the rate of photosynthesis.





So my question is this, If i started using Co2 will it effect grown while and flowering, and with the higher temps would it increase in resin production if lvls are kept around 77-83 degrees F? so is this benificial in flowering as well. will this increase bud size and and resin production with no harm, and is this om for flowering as welL? any advice....i know it can increase rate of photosynthesis, but as far as bud size and resin production, im using CLFS *about 70 extra cfls of wattage for side lighting... and a 400watt MH light. any answers apprecitated + rep thanks

ohh and also whats the ratio to using? or does it depend on size of room/ number of plants? im doing 11 small plants in around a 4' x 5 room

CO2 is the last thing you want to add AFTER everything else is dialed in. So if you're pushing 1 gram per watt per 2 month period and produce buds that are just oozing resin, then start looking into CO2.

try these simple co2 enrichment ideas for "real" co2
not that sugar water yeast "bs" that dont work
