so you have a monitor and controller and intake exhaust fans and a sealed room? i'd like to do that someday, but it's so freakin pricey!!! you should see great results!!!

Thats awesome! I did a DIY co2 with a soda bottle and saw a huge difference in just a day.

 

[hurleydude]

yea its pretty dope. not using a monotoring thing just my co2 tank for my portable keg taper, and just spraying the leaves with it and then shuting it off. it grew like 1/2 an inch last night.

Co2 doesn't work in the dark cycle, only when the lights are on.

He never said he was using it with the lights off, and I dont think he is.

i used it when my lights were off and i turnd off all my fans and ran it for 3.20 min straight co2 blowing on the fan leafs. is that ok? and when i woke up i ran a nother cycle of 3:20 min on it. maby i shouldnt go as so much of c02 on my baby? youre call guys

 

[hurleydude]

oh and im using my c02 from a duble keg tap kit but just opening one tap unit and placing it up tward the leaves. my pressure setting is at 10. hope i didnt fuck shit up.

 

[hurleydude]

need to know asap cuz im freakin out just looked at my lady and its lookin droopy. maby cuz i watered it till the pot was flooded but then again i dont know.

since co2 is heavier than air, you don't want to spray it on the plants. release it above the plants, and it will slowly come down onto them.

 

[anoob]

Co2 is used only during the lights on period. Thats it.You may want to get a hose, and run it just above your plants, with holes drilled in it, pointing at your ladies, this makes a nice delivery system.

I never heard an echo so loud!

k looked at them tonight and they seemd of pearked up and looking much better than yesterday. how frequent can i use the c02 on her? dayly or like every other day? im hearing two different storys on when to use c02, lights on or lights off? thanks guys.

 

[Growbot]

on only. lights off is a waste. also, unless your temps. are mid to upper 80's it's also a waste.

 

[hurleydude]

temps are sadly at 88 - 90 deg and im going to get a portable air condition machene from the pawn shop and put in here to cool it down cuz its just too dam hot. ill give it a try when lights turn on. what exactlly does it do to the plant, heard it makes it grow faster or something. my friend told me to get c02 in there.

 

[Growbot]

those temps. aren't too bad. the higher temps. are necessary because w/o them, the stomata won't open as wide. yes sir, it is great for growth.

Good job with the co2. Like an ass, I left the valve opened on my
tank lastnight to wake up this morning to an empty tank. Stoner move I guess. Anyways check out this link to calculate the amount of co2 you need for your space. You might be over doing it a bit.
Good Luck

Has anyone used 'dry ice' for a CO2 source? Seems like it would be a easy subsitute for tanks.

 

[hurleydude]

heard of it but one might think that dry ice might freeze your plants? just a thought.
