[@morrisrichie1]

Thanks Lex. I've been growing for 10 years, and I learned even more from you. I appreciate the tips and your work.

[@alanderson9711]

This would be far more helpful IF the charts were accurate. I’ve been growing for decades. In our greenhouse you won’t find CO2 peeking at 400ppm all the way past 1200 and beyond as in his chart. We keep the humidity low, fans on med., CO2 @ 1000, temps in 80-90 degree range, use ladybugs and introduce natural things in your grow and always avoid pesticides.letting your plants dry up between watering avoids mold and mildew. These are growing techniques I learned from my Dad who grew up on a farm, was a Master Grower and happily pass these on to you fellow growers, who may have less experience. Lastly remember: A Farmer is a man Outstanding in his field. (Old farmer joke)

[@robertgoldsmith134]

Letting the soil dry out between watering does help reduce pests but it also contributes to the death of important microbes and beneficial fungi in the soil that help the plants absorb nutrients.

[@420scene]

Rad video man, been using the Exhale CO2 bags.

[@phildobson8705]

Breathing produces large quantities of CO2. Bedrooms typically reach 1000 ppm, same with occupied living rooms. Have the air intake to your grow from whichever room is occupied the most during growling hours!

[@kevinisbell1867]

@JJerem idk but vigorously having sex really increases co2.

[@journeyintococo6996]

Just a quick correction, CO2 levels in submarines average at 3,500ppm, and go up to 10,000ppm, with no adverse effects on crew.

[@voidremoved]

on some message boards I read about slow drip for vinegar in to baking soda. I threw together a drip setup yesterday that seems to work very well. I hung it by the intake for my flower tent. it dripped for the whole lights on cycle. so I took a small 50ml empty bottle with a dropper built in the lid. took the lid apart, put it back together so the dropper tube sticks outside the bottle instead of inside. then I cut a length of a plastic straw. one end goes inside the glass dropper tube. the other end should reach into the bottle. I fill this bottle with vinegar, when I put it upside down then the straw lets air in, the vinegar drips out very slowly. I cut rough edge around the end of the plastic straw, this way it would not form a seal against the glass dropper tube. ok obviously this goes upside down above a container with some baking soda. then I just top up the vinegar bottle. so far so good... oh yeah. the little rubber nipple for the dropper bottle, I cut the tip off this so the straw could go thru it... but the nipple stays on as it forms the seal on the bottle still

[@902killabz]

I just added a small co2 generator to my grow , was the best decision I’ve made ! Cost me about 400cad to get it all done in a 10x15 room . Would have cost 1000ish to get a tank set up . And running costs are much cheaper than filling co2 tanks . Costs about 75 to fill co2 where I’m at and 10$ to fill propane

[@reconnaissance7372]

I've been doing some research and there is a lot of information that goes both ways for and against using additional CO2. Then I had an epiphany, I was unsure whether additional CO2 would do anything but then I realized that some aquarium plants for Shrimp tanks, require CO2. Therefore it makes sense that if you provide additional CO2 you get better growth, mainly because there are plants in freshwater aquariums that will not grow at all without CO2 Supplementation.

[@amadeusprakruti7441]

Thank you Lex. This is my next step. Been thinking of compressed tanks. Helpful as always!

[@brocknspectre1221]

Thank you for this video. I brew mead (honey wine) and I have all my fermenters set up right outside my 4x4 tent w/ 1000w hps light. When the light comes on, a fan pulls the CO2 from the brews into the grow tent. I think it helps, but even if it doesn’t, I’ve got mead when I’m done.

A good mate of mine stumbled across this accidentally half a lifetime ago started distilling and put his sugar wash in his grow room ... increased his yield by 6 oz on average

[@brocknspectre1221]

@@peterhughes5948 I’ve been doing this from the start, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it does seem like my plants are always ready to harvest on the early side of whatever the strain recommends. Would good amounts of CO2 not just increase yield, but speed flowing? I just hacked down a Purple Haze today that seemed really ready after only 7weeks in flower (80% pistil die-back, cloudy drooping tricones, 75% an leaves are yellow after 10 days of flush)

I thought you'd leave out sugar and yeast co2. And you actually mentioned co2 is best used weeks 2-5 of bloom. Good show good show. Co2 always adds 25% increase yield for me. Yeild 3/4 pound or yeilds a pound with co2.

That’s 33% 🙂

[@dancassidy7471]

Lex Thank you! I have been running co2 with the large tank and a Cumulus S50 controller. Challenging to say the least. I was told I must run co2 with the Spydr P 2 Led light. It is costing 20 bucks a month. I was not aware I have to turn exhaust fan off during day. If I do it may lower the cost at least but increase the heat level too much no doubt. $$$ Room is a sealed 5x5 x7 feet and full with 5 plants.

[@Michael-s2p3p]

Some growers on KZbin push higher CO2 levels (1400-1500) with higher ppfd and higher temps for higher yields. Higher CO2 concentrations are too expensive with tanks, you need a propane generator. Small spaces can be temp controlled easily as you note, with double hosed portable ACs in the tent.

[@kzbzkillrz6858]

Ben runing a fish tank pump with bars to my fans for my 3x3 for 2 plants does ths job.

[@tylerm0089]

its good information, you just need to listen until the end to get the idea. its basically summed up as co2 can be a waste of time and money if your not familiar with your temp, humidity and light parameters. if the parameters are dialed in, look up vpd chart, then co2 is beneficial.

Why not water my plants with soda water? Then I'd be delivering carbonated water directly to the roots which would also aerate the soil. I'm thinking of getting a Soda Stream machine dedicated for this, so I'd pH the water and add nutrients, and then add the bubbles. What do you say Lex?

[@noonek7958]

Thoughts on basic stuff like Xhale bags? I have a big room with multiple tents in it. I do the humidity and temp control in the room therefore the fresh air coming into tents counter balances the tents. Works great for me. I am not that experienced, but have been thinking about doing the same with CO2. Creating a PPM of CO2 in the room, so that the fresh air into tents is already co2 charged. My tents exhaust out the room. Thusly making the air flow through tent high in CO2. Was hoping to get opinions on that kind of setup? Essentially the room the tents are in are lungs.

[@LexBlazer]

Xhale bags are an ok product I've heard of before; I've just never used it myself. Any time you want to exhaust CO2 though from space to space you gotta make sure you're giving the plants time to absorb it before it gets pushed out of the room. What you're describing will probably work....but you'll need a monitor to carefully calibrate it.

Isn't it true that the plant only observes co2 through the bottom of the leaves? If so maybe having it released in front of an upward pointing fan would be the most beneficial to our babies, please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks

[@ashvinla]

If time is not a constraint,would the CO2 introduction increase the final yield in any way? Or is the only benefit time reduction?

So since CO2 levels in the athmosphere are rising, this should help outdoor grows right? Until we reach the point of 1800-2000ppm, then we should be really worried, because plants wont grow anymore?

[@LexBlazer]

Nobody knows what an atmosphere with 1800 ppm of CO2 is like...that's never happened in modern humanity's lifetime. Unfortunately what's filling the atmosphere in terms of pollutants is more than just CO2...and it's a poor idea to play this game to the point where you should be really worried.

[@codydietrich4246]

What about utilizing your furnace CO2 or water heater CO2? wouldn't that be better for the planet more green? Also how long does it take the plants to use the CO2 in the grow space? Exchange the air every hour? 3 * an hour? How fast do they in take the CO2?

[@kane100574]

Okay, in a small grow tent (anything less than 5x5) where you are introducing CO2 in any form. Isn't it (Co2) heavy? I mean, if you are exhausting from above ( like most setup i seen), and even if youa re spreading it more with a fan, co2 is heavier than Oxygen. Won't it cover your plants way before it is sucked out?
