so im growing strains like GDP and Purp Haze where i need temps to stay between 70-80 to bring out the colors...How do you guys go about implementing c02 when that normally requires temps to stay on the higher side??

What i've read multiple times is that CO2 is overall useless. Unless you have a closed system (no fresh air intake), or you give light more than the plant can use. then higher CO2 levels will increase the capacity at wich your plant can perform photosynthesis. So if you aint blasting em with light or don't have a closed system, why even bother with CO2?

What you mean? At the warehouse they run 11-1300 constantly during day time and day time temps are always 71....I don't have a closed system gotta refill my tanks every 4-6 days depending on temp outside and I'd say co2 is everything alot more than what y'all give it credit to be. High co2 and lower temps means the stomatas don't have to open for the plant to breath allowing for tighter more uniformed buds. Higher temps and lower co2 means looser bud due to have to open and breath.

there is some real scientific research that will tell you when co2 really works fro plants . you just need to find some good data . why I said turn off the co2 is because there is no advantage of using it in lower temps in my opinion . research says it as well .

im really interested in how to properly implememt co2 if it in fact does help with growth and potency....

could you have a variable open/closed system during which the intake and exhaust are turned off and co2 is released for a period of time and give the plants time to use it......then turn air back on?
