CO2 - Is there a difference?

I have everything you could ever, ever, ever need for monitoring all my other parameters.

Only thing I don't have is a CO2 system.

Will it really make enough of a difference for me to invest?

I will be providing gas for a 4' by 4' area and a 4' by 6' area, sealed of course.\

Anyone have any side by side pics or grows as examples?

Thanks,

just read what books and studies say... if you have ample lighting, heat, and water then you need co2 to get the final edge
 
Of course CO2 helps go into any commercial grow and you will see for yourself that the best buds are made in a sealed environment using Co2. Costs a lot but if you are in this for the long run you might as well start buying pieces.
 
Cost is not a problem. Is the hassle worth the payoff? This is not a commercial grow, I just don't care what it takes to give my babes everything they want.

Anyone have any side by sides to show?

I like the way you talk... Yeah its worth it you will get fatter buds and finishing times are quicker by like 2 weeks plus if heat is an issue you can grow at temps up to 85 no problem with co2. I dont have any pics to compare. I dont feed co2 until flower anyways. Co2 is food to the plants and lights on they are munching on nutrients and co2 all day.


Below 200 PPM, plants do not have enough CO2 to carry on the photosynthesis process and essentially stop growing. Because 300 PPM is the atmospheric CO content, this amount is chosen as the 100% growth point. increased CO can double or more the growth rate on most normal plants.
 
Carbon dioxide enrichment involves increasing the concentrations of CO2 to 4-5 times the normal atmospheric levels, to between 1200-1500 ppm in an enclosed space. Enrichment has been shown to promote faster growth, higher yields, and stronger, healthier plants. Levels higher than 2000 ppm have been shown to retard plant growth. Low levels of CO2 (below 200) have been show to halt vigorous growth, even when all other conditions are ideal. Because of this, any enclosed space requires replenishment of the internal CO2 as it is used by plants, either from ventilation or from CO2 supplementation.

This is what I am looking for. Hoping to boost yields while maintaining the killer quality I've developed.

Honestly its all in the genetics and grower, I learned that. Get good genetics take care of your plants and you will have a huge yield if not you will for sure have some good trees.
 
Sounds like you should be using CO2. There is no doubt about the results. I would guess that the only reason all indoor grows dont use it is the cost, only. Why would you spare no expense to give your plants everything & then starve their need for CO2 ? Im building a room right now & it has taken a lot longer to do because I want the best environment I can give & in return the best product I can possibly grow.

Its cost dude, a lot of growers dont want to spend that kind of money. For me its worth it, its my hobby. For instance my Titan controller was like 600 bucks, the tank cost me 80, the regulator was another 120.00, it wasnt cheap but in the end it pays itself off.
 
Yup..it's worth it. Growth raqte is much faster..that equals bigger yields. I don't see things finishing faster, but the growth rate is amazing.
 
look into a generator > a tank if you are going to grow for years. This will end up saving a lot of money! a lot. You could ask people how much they spend(who use tanks) on co2 per cycle. Even in a super sealed room you blow through that co2. Just my .02
