CO2 is it the magic bullet.

I hear everyone talking about co2 and the miracle. So far all I have noticed is that walls r very wet,and the temp is near 90. For prevention of mold I started using fans , won't that push the co2 u the of the tent. thanks in advance.

Tents suck for co2 supplementation as they are virtually impossible to seal 100% and 90°F is waaaaay to hot,even when using co2.

84°F to 85°F would be ideal for co2 supplementation.

IMO as long as you're getting the normal 400ppm of co2 as found outdoors,temperature,humidity,lighting,watering/feeding properly are more important.

I am assuming you are using a burner? you will need a dehumidifier and more than likely an a/c.

if you push a/c into a tent and no exhaust you will have positive pressure and pop your tent. trust me, I run an a/c unit and I had my exhaust fan stop working for my carbon scrubber. I hear a LOUD ass POP and found my tent was ripped at a seam from the pressure.

LOL thanks for the post + 1

If you don't have control of all aspects of your grow environment then why do it?

If you put your a c in your tent with no exhaust, you would have heat, humidity, etc, that's crazy, lol.

Nothing wrong with co2 but just basics is enough to grow big dank nugs

you can run a little hotter with co2 than w/o. 90 is acceptable.

Yes you can,but 90°F is still too hot.You shouldn't go over 85°F/86°F with co2.

thanks guys, I am running about eighty with the lighting on. I have a Raptor hood with a fan that blows the air out with vents I also run a dehumidifier and now my humidity is 35 percent.I have 2 fans circulating air , the plants are very large and very healthy. the co2 is coming from a plastic bottle which lasts 2 weeks, and has to be shook once a day. I had to make several changes because the humidity was very high and the mylar was wet all over. The first change was two circulating fans that help a little but it did not solve my problem .Next I started with a small heater to bring the temp up to 65 when the lights were out, and last I have a good size humidifier I had the tent inside a 14 by 20 room, I kept the unit outside the tent put one fan outside and let it blow outside into the tent with the dry air and now my air is just right, thanks for all your help. The co2 is in a plastic container .I am not sure what the co2 readings are,but the plants are beautiful so far, I am going to send the pictures so all can see, Thanks again for all the help.

Guys I made these changes today and seem to work,advice game from all the different members thanks again I owe everybody a taste lol
