CO2 set help.

[Melquides]

I could use some help on how to set up this CO2 bottle and the regulator. I have never used any, The Bossman is out of town like he is half the time so i have no real guidance. I will take any advice, going in a Flower (shipping) Container. about 75 clones coming up on 2 weeks flowering. Athena Nutes,35 ft. rolling table, Pargo 6 inchers. We have our main AC down, Back up only. temps are holding fairly right now since we are barely into the 70s, usually lower. Humidity runs around 50% .

Any advice with the CO2 or anything else is welcome

hell yeah, that video and a bit more research and im rolling. set at like 1400 with 150 range.

Since the boss is out of town can we come through and smoke?

You bring and we will Burn it. This is a Virgin Grow, we havent actually harvested a damn thing yet. When i got out here 6 months ago we only had a container of mothers. I built the flower container, cut some clones, built the table and now we are on the way. We have a Big main building thats still probably 10 months minimum from finished. And i am SO ready to get in there and actually have space, and better climate control, and a damn shitter..

Sweet....what , roughly, % gain will you get with the CO2 ?

 

[Melquides]

Im not sure what the difference will be, we have no previous data to compare against once we do chop this round. Plus this is my first round with hydro, our first flower run, testing genetics. Green Gelato, Gorilla Glue are growing the best. Shockwave showing loads of trichs but small buds. Kill A5 haze growing nicely, but barely any trichs, i almost wonder if its got the hops latent viroid. The mother has weird growth patterns, the horizontal branching.

I understand , lots of variables. I've "heard" estimates of 10-30% gain. Just curious. I often wonder how that gain is calculated. Thanks for taking tie to reply, I appreciate it. Trying to decide weather the C02 boost is worth it. I've heard that elevated temps are also needed.

Remember a couple of things with co2:
-the way co2 works is by adding one condition for faster metabolism: if you dont change the other conditions (light levels, nutrient uptake/transpiration, heat; both in rootzone and leaves) then youre not going to see so much improvement.
- CO2 in itself will close the stomata and inhibit transpiration somewhat, you need to compensate for this some way, either some more blue in your spectrum or tweaking vpd. This is especially important with Led growlights.

I am still learning vpd. Bossman is due back monday, gonna hit him up for a laser thermometer to start getting leaf temps and go from there. was 75 F. and about 55% RO when i came in this morning. Trying to tweak out feeding, Still learning this hydro/top drip system.
