Thats what I do I have a co2 burner I use in veg now mostly because it helps raise temps and speeds of veg time.I know in winter time some peeps have problem with keeping grow room warm enough. even with lights on...usually floor level (medium) and that's a big problem. cold roots... stunt growth.
So they limit their fresh air, and co2 allows them to do so.
For sure they can handle light and heat a lot better so less likely to get a stretch :) from my experience any wayDoes tweaking co2 and light intensity get you tighter node spacing or something? Or just faster growth, or faster growth and further apart node spacing?
It's funny u say that last time I run it the buds never got real dense I thought it was just the strain what would u recommend for argument sake I'm doing a 10 week flower should I reduce the co2 by a 10th each week ? Or maybe cut it in half at week 5 have u ever tried different methods ?It is absolutely necessary to get a controller... Variable levels of co2 stress the plant, and could possibly do more harm than good.
Also, using high levels of co2 at the end of your flower., will give you light airy buds, and make them less dense, and less aromatic... co2 levels start coming down as soon as you flip to flower, and are down to normal co2 levels at the end of flower.
8k of lights... don't see a limiting factor there.(The limit is 8K on this hypothetical grow show...says so right there :cool:) a lot depends on how you can set up your grow room/s. (absolutely)
You still need a room for seedlings/clones.... mothers? (not if you're buying rooted cuts)
a separate veg room will allow you to house mothers, plus get your vegged plants to a larger size to get larger yield. (again, for this example, all light used to grow is limited to 8K. Pre-vegging is fine, but that power has to come out of the bloom room)
2 weeks aint gonna get them big enough.(at 25-36plants per 1K...sure it is)
Don't get greedy on over all # at the end. (greed has different symptoms than anything mentioned in this thread...so I'm not sure what inspired that comment)
How about a perpetual grow...harvest 4# (2 lights) every 2 weeks...that's a 208# and it allows you to harvest less at a time.
Getting 2# from a 1k watter indoors is gonna be tough(it is...no doubt)...but at even 1# will get you 104# (104 - 208# annually??? So a 104K bloom setup...cool, that's a big one!)
Usually a perpetual grow is set up with 4 stages in the room, kinda divide your room into 4 partitions, they can even share lights. start with 1 stage add your plants, then 2 weeks later add 2nd stage,3rd then 4th. by then your stage 1 is ready...(as a 8 week strain). cut down, then add your replacements...
A lot easier on time management, you always have something vegging, buding and harvesting...don't get any better than that. (perpetual works best for some, but certainly not all) with that way, you can also grow some sativas in the mix, you just have to adjust your cycles...
I run 1500 ppm all thru flowering and the last thing my flowers are is airy.It is absolutely necessary to get a controller... Variable levels of co2 stress the plant, and could possibly do more harm than good.

I am very interested to know how u cane to that conclusion? Did u read that somewhere? Ive never heard that b4.
Right on man. Tag me if ya find some literature. Im interested to see what ya come up w.Yes... I read and researched after I had a run using 1500 ppm the entire grow... I wasn't satisfied with the smell, or the hardness of the buds.
That's also when I learned that fluctuations in co2 levels during the daytime, adds unneeded stress to the plants, and can actually inhibit optimal growth.
I realize that until I provide sources that back my claims, that it is simply hearsay... I've been racking my brain this morning to provide them. Lol... probably have to wait a bit. :)
Go to the current culture site, and look at the graph that they post regarding recommendations for the entire grow... It is an excellent chart to follow.Have any of u guys got any diary u can post or have any links to any that have got co2
