Hey y’all.
I run an 8-burner CO2 generator in my flower room during the cooler months and decided to try firing it back up last night.
My room isn’t sealed and I run a 10” exhaust on a controller set to kick on at 88 degrees. I also have an 8” constantly pumping in fresh air.
My CO2 controller is set to 1200ppm and it only got up to 600ppm and leaf surface temps were 84-90(probably slightly over in some spots). Plants look happy as a pig in shit(for now lol). Day 25 of flower in 100% coco. Feeding once daily, right now at 1.9 EC with run off(I don’t measure it, just make sure they’re all a’squirtin’).
Here are my questions/concerns...
The sensor for the CO2 controller is ~15’ away from the burner itself. I have good air movement, not amazing, but adequate for sure. That being said, is it possible that the majority of the room was at a high enough concentration of CO2 to be able to tolerate these temps?
Are the effects of temps getting too high at this stage of flower seen immediately or can they be delayed?
If I did do any damage, is it early enough to not having a substantial impact on quality/yield? It was only for 7-8hr.
Finally, I know that a higher temp (85-95*) is required to really benefit from having CO2 levels north of 1000ppm, but in flower, is it detrimental to resin/terpene quality/production to have temps this high?
I can see it being a nonissue in veg but I am planning on washing a good portion of this and future runs. Does anyone have any experience with running high temps + CO2 and it’s impact on hash production?
Any help is much appreciated. I can’t wait till this round is finished, a digital co2 monitor is high up on my wish list.
Thank you in advance to you, farmers
