PLC Hydro-Garden Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 My grow room is 3'*3'*8', I was planning to use a 600w HPS and grow 36 plants in 6" square pots. Now I'm thinking about adding another 600w HPS and using CO2 enrichment, woud this be ok? How much quicker do the plants grow and does it increse yeild as well as speed of growth? Do I need to use diff./more nutes? Cheers, Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[PTJ]Rizla+ Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 hope This is some help according to that website, Yield is increased in every plant they have used co2 enrichment with. i can imagine the same will go for your grow - hope you get some really big fat buds riz =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 (edited) If its your first grow why run when you can walk use the one light see how you get on then maybe try co2 from what ive read it all seems to be hi tec but yes you get better yeilds but only when you no what your doing learn about your plants first then on the other hand you might be an expert then i would say go for it m8 Edited March 10, 2003 by saldo1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicgrow Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 in order to get a higher yield using co2 every other element has to be perfect in the growroom. agreeing with saldo on walking before running, with co2 specially.. that is what i have gathered.. sonic..

Mono Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 OTT on the 1200w in that space...if you're serious you'll need serious venting AND serious CO2 production.....that much light could actually do more damage than good without the CO2 boosted right up.... CO2 enrichment is a fairly precise science if you're gonna get it right......over my head, never tried it other than fermenting wine or beer in the growroom....negligible effect, but some of the red wine wasn't too bad......nice warm growroom ideal for homebrewing....

väinämöinen Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 about co2!my experience is positive about adding co2,but only when using proper magnetic ventiles and timers.you also need to take care that air circulates in the closet properly so you don't waste your gas by pumping it all down on the floor.i use fans about 20-25% from the power of the fresh air circulation,just to make air go round in the closet.co2 doesn't make you'r plants grow faster,but it increases their capability to use the nutrients.important specially in the blooming phase,when you try to maximise the boost.
