Hydropoincs And Co2?

[embaks]

I have a small grow, a six plant hydro system in a grow box, with led lights. I was wondering how important co2 is? Do I need it? Can I go with out?

CO2 is a personal preference in my opinion. I have done grows without out it and did just fine. Using it for the first time now. It's a home made mixture of sugar and yeast.

Thanks. Shooting for a lbs dry weight. I'll keep you posted after the harvest. I would say it's best to use the co2 for veg

The system.I bought cam with co2 tabs I've been using them. I still have 3-4 weeks untill I start flowing. As long as they stay healthy this time. I had some die to root rot. Too much light was getting into basin. Now I'm running 2 pumps hydro gaurd and clone gaurds. I've been cutting off bottom growth (defoliation)

I'm aiming for at least a quap to hold me over for another grow

I usually get a qp from 4-5 plants. This is my first time with 17 and it's some work.

Put a hole in the cap with a cork in the middle. My tubing is through my cork and blowing through my fans. It's not a high level of co2 but it gets the job done

What kind of pots are you using. Try the smart pots. You can wash them easier in the machine and reuse.

 

[embaks]

I'm using 1 inch net pots

 

[Skywalker85]

You trying to put the co2 in the water. I just have my blowing directly on my plants

Here's mine

I heard co2 is bad for the roots. I'm thinking about trying your method

 

[Skywalker85]

Yea give it a try. As the roots grow go up in size with with your pots. If you didn't know that all ready.
