Co2

[Vitov7]

Okay so some of my OG homies that have been growing for years tells me not to worry about supplementing CO2 in my grow environment until I start bloom everyone else via YouTube growers tell me I should CO2 through veg and bloom for best results so what's the clear answer to this question? I currently have a brand new bottle of TNB Natural co2 enhancer waiting

Co2 only really helps during veg. An if your grow space isn’t sealed it’s utterly pointless.

I use an "iron lung" type style for my grows. My question is this....would adding a CO2 bag like people have hanging in their tents even be beneficial in a grow like mine?

Ok I have a sealed grow tent I'm not exhausting any air flow or bringing any in besides when I open it to work inside. My plants are still very young though but I guess CO2 wouldn't hurt

This might cause problems in flower.

No tents and co2 don’t mix those co2 bags aren’t worth the money at all imo.

Thanks. I just see them a lot hanging around people's grows. My air flow and temps are dialed in so I figured it would be pointless but didn't know if it would change anything in the grow.

If your in a tent don’t bother. its not worth the time or money unless you build a completely sealed room And have the ability to run your room warm enough to benefit from said co2.

Not having air flow through my tent will cause a problem during flour? I have a lot of air moving around inside strong fan carbon filter with fan to scrub the air

Exactly ambient co2 is going to be just fine in most cases. Besides if you look co2 in homes are much higher than outside.

you want a constant flow of fresh air in your space whether it’s a tent or room UNLESS your running a sealed room supplementing co2

In flower, you want that air moving as much as possible. Mold can be a factor without proper flow

I vent and pull air from the same room. I also have different rooms for seedlings, veg and flower in that same room. Each space is set-up a little different and it took time to figure out how to dial in each space without affecting the other spaces. Fun times.....

I'd assume because of people inside the home?

Exactly why. Google co2 levels in bedrooms it’ll shock you the amount your exposed to from simple respiration.

Those bags are worthless. You might as well just stick your head in your tent and breathe for a few minutes. The only reason they sell them is because people buy them. Not because they do any good.

Thanks. I didn't think it was needed but I also wasn't sure if it would change anything in the grow.

 

[Vitov7]

I've seen some tests ran on YouTube sounded pretty convincing. But now that you said that I'll probably just use my tank instead

This is contradicting to about 1,000,000 other peoples recommendations.

typically people use CO2 in flower exclusively to increase yield.

only time it would make sense to use co2 in veg would be if you reallyneeded to reduce veg time

That’s really the only benefit to it. I’ve never seen it increase yield enough to justify. If your room is dialed in properly you’ll yield very close.
