Misinformation ... C02 will not help plants finish any faster.
im so sick and tired of your type coming on here not know what they are talking about..

CO2
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) levels should be high, particularly during the FLOWERING PHASE . Growth rates can be increased dramatically if the CO2 level is near 700 ppm. 300 ppm (Outside Air) 700 ppm (Ideal) 2000 ppm (Plants Burn) 5000 ppm (Death) CO2 is cheaply produced by burning Natural Gas. However, heat and Carbon Monoxide must be vented to the outside air. CO2 can be obtained by buying or leasing cylinders from local welding supply houses. Beware! The DEA has asked the supply houses to provide lists of large CO2 users. If you are questioned, simply say "I have an old mig welder at the house and I want to try and patch up my (Lawnmower, car, trailer, etc.). If you find that you are making lots of trips to the supply house, complain that your "buddy" keeps leaving the cylinder valve open all night. This should provide a plausible excuse.

A date of aug 20 will be pushing the line....that date has just become important? If ya have an indica dom, perhaps ok...knowing strain is important cause some just keep on keeping on....good karma sent to your flowering...

Please do, I'm always willing to learn :cool:

If possible please provide link to experiments conducted and results obtained, or side by side grows, one with CO2 and one without, all backed up by scientific proof.

Anything else is just heresay.

Nice fella :roll:

BTW have spent lots of time googling this subject and have NEVER found any scientific proof to backup what you claim.

Let's keep this clean

stranger danger, stranger danger... But have you ever actually tried it?? I wouldn't grow without co2 but that's your choice if you wanna use it or not... I'm done with this discussion

Nope, never tried it mate, never believed I've had the need to. My plants get plenty of fresh air and in my opinon thats all they need. They're healthy and aren't lacking in anything.

However, if I were to be shown scientific proof that backs up your claims regarding CO2 speeding up flowering time, I would start using CO2 immediatley.

Dude at least give it a shot, it's worth the investment.. I wouldn't say it speeds it up where your gonna cut your flowering time in half but you will def see health improvement and heavier yields.. I wouldn't steer you wrong. Let me give you an example, I use a total environmental controller and I have a inline fan that's bringing fresh air in that runs about 1000 cfm and that can only get my co2 levels up to around 200 ppm and with supplemental co2 burner my levels are around 1500ppm.. I am running an little test on 2 ladies and I usually use co2 but my ac broke and I have just been using my inline fan for air.. I have noticed a huge difference in the rate that my nugs are filling in.. For the 150 bucks your gonna spend on a setup it's TOTALLY worth it, ask anyone that uses co2.. Plus with high levels you can kill bugs with it

Hey, CO2 is a great idea cheers i havent been able to get pics but im going to post some once they start budding properly so i'll keep you posted. I've got 4 plants in flowering 2 AK-48 both fimmed and vegged for 4 weeks and the big girls are swiss cheese and critical mass. thanks for the help!

thought about a 13/11 cycle? you'll take a slight hit on the yield side but they'll be done faster.

correct me if im wrong but im almost certain iv read of sombody making there cycles like so its a shorter total like dosent add up to 24hours so in theory, 4 days would have been through like 6 light cycles
