The graph is out of Ed rosenthals, the oaksterdams course book, the paragraph is from Jorge Cervantes medical growers bible.
What's the best temp for veg and also best temp for flower. Why?
Right now my temps are at 84-88

My understanding is that heat should be around 30-35c (not sure what that is in f).
You need a completely sealed room and heaps of light to make it worthwhile. Half the co2 setups I've seen are just a waste of time as they are not doing it right.

You shouldn't go above 80 still because your co2 source is iffy... If you were running a sealed room at 12 or 1400 ppm, regulated controlled and dialed in, and keeping the moisture high enough in the plant tissue to handle the heat intensity, then my answer would be 85.

If you're in flower right now at those temps you're going to get some nice Schwag.. If in veg you still have a chance with those particular plants..

ill give you the correct answer . my experience . in veg you can greatly benefit from co2 and the temps need to be at least 85 f to get any use . and in flower temps 85 f . during the day at night no colder then 65 . ok how this works . there is a lot of info out there that gets very technical about co2 and how plants absorb it ..... If its not at least 85 then your plant cant benefit from the added co2 because it does not open up its I don't know the proper name so I am calling it spores .. to absorb or let the added co2 in . you will ( NOT ) get loose buds .. at 85 f . in some cases ive seen commercial grow room at 90f and co2 is over 3000 ppm very high . I suggest at least 2500 to 3200 ppm co2 if your using a burner . the bull shit numbers at 1200 is not that much in fact in large city the co2 may be 1200 ppm out side and a stuffed room with a lot of people can go up to 4000 ppm c co2 is like oxygen to a athlete the more pure the better to a point . this is my opinion and what I have read and have done can google best temps for co2 and read about it for a week to understand . and filter out all the bs .

you posted some pics of some very old inaccurate info . things change every day. today were setting the bar how to grow the best not 5 years ago . technology changes and ways to do it .

All your temps listed will be fine. Added co2 to the environment will increase the plants ability to deal with excessive temps, like running at 90 degrees, that will fuck up a plant without added co2, but in a room with say 1400 ppm, that plant would be able to deal with it. To me, it's not worth the extra hassle dealing with co2. It's just another pain in the ass to deal with, as you seem to be (should be) understanding at this moment.

a mongo from . from my experience with co2 and playing around and I know a lot of friends that do the same . all we do is bull shit and try to find better ways to farm . no if he is not running hps there is no point of running the co2. and if every thing is set up correctly you can pull up to 60 % more yield . for a well experienced grower . a rookie mabe 10 to 20 % but for a rookie set up waste of money best to buy another light . co2 if for the guy or girl that have every thing dialed in and has every other toy available . a good burner will cost 500 bucks like a nice 10 burner can run 2 6 or 8 or 10 burners hit of a switch and a good controller . never use titan !!!!!!!!!! co2 controller very shitty . I had one locked up and the co2 was running 24/7 ! could not even enter the room . suggest a ( AUTO PILOT ) makes the very best controllers for co2 and the unit is 450 or so . so your up to 900 plus bucks . like I said not for a rookie just for the big boys. or you can get a bottle with one of those total joke float set up and refill the bottle every day . or put 5 pounds of sugar into a 5 gallon bucket with active yeast makes excellent co2 for a tent or small room

Not sure what you mean by Co2 being for big boys. Im roughly 5' 7" and i have a shitty 8 burner and one of those environment controllers (which i didn't need), and everything works fine.
