CO2 during late flower

Oldmustang · Nov 6, 2010

is it a benefit to add CO2 late in flower? I'm day 41 of about a 55-60 day period so we're getting close
thanks

I generally cut out co2 the last 2 weeks, unless its a strain that puts on alot of weight at the end.

I've read for hours about this issue, and it seems that most experts think that the plant just won't uptake as much CO2 during the last 2 weeks of flower, as it did before. They recommend lowering the ppm for CO2 to 300 to 500 ppm during the last 2 weeks. Some recommend just turning off the CO2 altogether at that stage. I've read several reports that say; buds will actually taste a little bit like carbon if given high ppm at the end of flower. I have probably read for 20+ hours on this issue, with no real scientific conclusions, just opinion is seems.

interesting spread. i think I'll just hold off till next grow and then have more
time to really judge the results.

thanks

Yeah, I really believe that adding co2 too late does make the buds taste different, especially if it is in the form of gas.

Ya probably should wait till the next run than add co2. I need to work on not jumping the gun and changing stuff in the middle of a run myself. Working on that
