Longtime commercial grower here, 20 plus years, with a problem that no one seems to have any idea how to address/fix. At this point, I am literally willing to offer a reward for the person who can solve this riddle. Let me present as the following.
Problem: Whenever CO2 is introduced into my vegetative room, which is approximately 20x60 in size, the plants wither, become yellow, woody stems, within 48 hours of the CO2 introduction. This happens no matter where I veg in my building. i have tested vegging in multiple flowering rooms and the toxicity happens in the same time frame. When I remove CO2, the plants get better almost immediately. Also, when i move the plants to flower and flip them WITH CO2 on, the problem goes away immediately. To be clear, I could move in completely yellow plants, woody stems, etc and a week after I flip to flower, with CO2 running, it will be like it never happened, all lush green growth, etc. Just to be clear, CO2 works fine when plants are flowering. Does not work at all in veg status, whether it be gavita lights in a flower room we are using to veg or our standard veg room lighting.
I have been consulting with many growers I respect and trust and no one has seen this/heard of it, let alone have even a suggestion to fix.
Grow Composition: Vegetative Room - 56 Solistek Digital DE Hoods, with separate ballasts. Half the room is running on hortilux DE bulbs, other half growers choice metal halide bulbs. Temps: 76, humidity 60%, agrowtek controlled. Canna Coco, Canna Coco nutrients, tested recipe. 2 gallon fabric pots. Flower rooms are gavita 1000 de, standard etc. Lights are 5-6 feet off the canopy.
There is a massive prize to whoever can figure this out or even help guide us in the right direction. I appreciate everyone's help in advance, thank you.
