ok so what method do you use? how do i get CO2 pumped onto them ?
Co2 is debatable for practicality. Facts..Co2 implementation occurs best at 80-90 degrees farenheit that is the temperature where the stomata (pores) can readily use it)..Co2 implementation you require a montior those cost a lot..CO2 implementation works best in a closed system so no intake and no exhaust. keep in mind marijuan does not grow when temperatures are close or exceed 90 degrees farneheit. Co2 implementation is specifically used for vegetation for what it can do is make your vegetating plants grow faster so basically can cut your vegetating time...The spikes of CO2 implementation can occur and its nasty to see co2 burns on your foliage.There are ghetto ways to produce co2 but it cant produce the volume to make a difference only co2 generators, propane burners ( generates alot of heat and dangerous in grow rooms), and ozone machines can do it costs a but load for those. Me personally I just use an intake and exhaust for air circulation and I meet minimum requirements for co2 content in room. Personally Co2 implementation is laborious and not cost effective for personal grows now if you had a high end industrial grow where you already have pumped thousands in and are doing hundreds to thousands of plants then yes it would be feasible.

.
the exhale bags? was talking to someone on here before about them. one guy has one and its putting out 1400ppm in his 4x4 room and his local hydro store has one thats 9 months old and still putting out the same amount. they are SUPPOSED to be good for 6 months but people have been saying they have had them work longer.

Ok, ok.....some good advice here dude, but also some unneeded advice. Thats just my opinion and here is also just my opinion:

As a new grower who is LEARNING to grow cannabis, forget about the CO2. Do a 12/12 from seed grow, there are many good examples on this site. Why 12/12 from seed you ask?

A few reasons. First, you will have a manageable power bill. Second, your plants will show sex around day 20-25, thereby saving you many weeks of wasted time should your plants be male. Third, it's easier to keep your schedule straight and if you 12 dark at night you also have less risk of light leaks.

Search this site for some 12/12 grows. I'd recommend "supchaka" early grows and also "del6666". Those 2 guys are awesome 12/12 from seed growers.

Thats my opinion, make of it what you will.

but you dont yield nearly as much as if u veg'd and thats a fact. theres a nute called gravity and it suppose to give u huge buds but word on the streets is u dont want to smoke shit that had that in it.

yes co2 is not needed but if you want bigger buds and more co2 can be used. for the price of 20 bucks to add co2 to your grow for 6 months to a year without touching it is a wise buy.

and as for that gravity stuff for bigger buds ive never heard of it but a good flush before harvest can probably fix that problem of smoking whats in it.

Per plant yes totally agree but not necessarily per meter square.

I'm glad I came across this thread because I was thinking of adding cO2 to my room, but after a lot of research I've found that it's too expensive for my budget.
I might invest in that cO2 bag ... for $17, I think it's worth a try ... but on the other hand it sounds too good to be true.
Anybody got any more info on this?

Hi, I'e been experimenting over the last year. Growing several strains, with various technics tried out. From my point of view a new grower needs to sort out healthy genetics first. Finding a good strong female within the strains you want to grow is probably your nr 1 task in the beginning. I also found that a good long vegetive state, and doing lst increases my yield alot. I grow indoor and with soil bougth at a local gardner shop. Nothing special at all. Before I flower, I resoil with a bit of bonemeal mixed into it. I also don't add nutes before flowering, and usually start with 1/4 th of whats recommended. I use only organic nutes, don't really need anything else. About 1/3 out in the flowering stage I start to tie down the plant, opening up for all the struggeling branches righ beneath the top canapee. This is probably what increases my yeild the most. :)

edit: oh, forgot to mention, good airflow!!

You'll get so many different and conflicting answers to a question like this.

Once you find a good nute system, good soil, and learn all the basics you kinda go from there. In early life of plant root enhancers like Great White are a good start to big buds being the majority believe big roots=big buds. You will want to find a good bud booster or group of them. I run two nute lines, for my FoxFarm line they have three solubles called Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz and Cha-Ching. They do wonders to make bud bigger and more resinous. For my Earth Juice line I use the basic system plus a extra guano bloom for mid to late veg.

One of the easiest and most agreed upon additives one can use is molasses. I use Earth Juice Hi-Brix. Before when I didn't use molasses, and early on when I fed low amounts for shorter periods of time, I would have a few plants each grow that didn't have much frost to them compared to others, since finally mastering my usage of molasses by adding larger amounts for longer periods during flower I have yet to have a girl who isn't frosted up to the max. Now this is different from being "bigger" but it's the same idea and it doesn't hurt. It definitely creates more resin and helps with taste.

LUMENS! Get those flowering girls as much light as you can. In my flower room I get about 10,000 lumens per square foot, big differences in yield compared to my 5,000 lumens per square foot days.

LST and smart pruning. I am against topping because in my experience and setup it just creates more trimming time and not more yield.

Make sure to use a big final pot, 5 gal is good for indoors.

So much more. Time and mistakes will eventually get you those big buds.

Forget about adding in Co2. If you wish to add that in later on after a few grows go for. If you have a fresh air intake from the outside adding Co2 is not necessary and will do little for big buds. Don't try to do everything and anything at once.

I have already started doing a 18/6 grow and plants are looking good, and also I have female seeds, so I shouldn't need to worry about them being male?? But thanks for the advice I will take it on board!

Bfields I got some info for you, if you go onto YouTube and type 'CO2 generator' it shows you how to make exactly what it says for next to nothing. You need a bag of sugar, some yeist and a couple of old pop bottles. Search it and you will see, a friend told me about it I am going to do it for flowering!
