Wow that Qush looks incredible! Quick CO2 question Curtis, does temp affect the effectiveness of the CO2? For example, would higher temps and humidity affect it in a grow cab situation? thanks Happy New Years man!

C02 will help a plant as temps rise until you get over 85 degrees from my understanding running up to 1500ppm with C02

Thanks

So if you are running a perpetual harvest then yes C02 will run the entire flowering time, some people will wait until stretching is done withe the 1st couple weeks of flowering

I would run it the entire flowering but thats just me, it also depends on your setup

I hope this helps

Edit when I mean the entire time I am talking about using C02 when your lights are on during flowering

Yea I understood what you meant i know it's only a benefit during the day, was doin research and some people believe it decreases potency or stalls it and takes longer for it to get to the harvest time , these questions are more for a small cab situation and height is not an issue, thanks again man , love your grows and pics!

So the only thing C02 is doing is helping your plant grow faster, potency & resin traits will come along with any healthy plant I believe with or without C02, you will have more flowers with C02 vs without

So using C02 you can double your plants size & yield by using C02 vs without - as per Ed Rosenthal

Edit assuming you have proper conditions for your plant

If your flowers take too long to mature you run the risk of nanners.

If your getting end of life nanners its not really a big deal as its a last ditch effort by the plant to reproduce and you'll probably get nanners on any plant that you keep going beyond ripeness, but if your getting them at weeks 5-6, or earlier on a 8-9 week strain (longer sativas obviously are the exception with time frames) then you got a plant that you may want to not keep any clones of unless its really good bud and worth chopping off the nads as it grows.

I'm not positive about the doubling size with c02, I thought it was like a 30% increase or something, but with primo environmental control and as close to stress free as possible.

As you folks can imagine you can get lots in the TGA fields and wander for days as our trusty Ninja has

Here he is surrounded by Querkle x GC & Cheese Quake




Qush


The plant on the right is a Handi cap cutting from a friend - TGA peeps know about this strain

Co2 doesn't "help" plants survive in higher temperatures. It makes plants work harder and higher temperatures and humidity are a side affect. If you are having temperature issues then fix your environment! If you want to help a improve a plants drought/heat tolerance, use potassium silicate (Silica Blast, Rhino Skin ect...).
