running co2 till the end will give you weird blown out buds. I'll cut mine at the beginning of week 6 personally.
Ed rosenthal was in town the other day and I can't quote him exactly but it was somewhere along the lines of "if you're not using co2 your simply wasting your electricity"
And on the contrary I believe co2 ripens it faster.
Plants NEED co2.... Try depriving yourself of some shit. Sure youll still grow but you'd be a lot better if you had what you needed!!
Get 20 zips without co2... Potential 32 with...
Is that worth it to you guys?? LOL
Was this on Ed, and I's trip to Durango Organics? What ed said was "if you are not using C02, you are wasting electricity." What he meant was that because c02 can increase your harvest 20-30% across the board (all lights), its more important then adding more light until it is in place. I wish you had said hello, i did not realize that Farmers were attending the event.
To answer the initial question, it depends on your goal. Co2 increase plant growth and production to such a degree that it tends to overshadow the maturation of the plant. If you want to maximize thc content and bud profile then cutting it will help achieve that goal. If, however your interest lies purely in harvest numbers and are less concerned with foxtails, etc then run it till chop.
You gotta love Ed for putting it in a language us farmers really understand, you say "wasting electricity" and we all listen.Ed rosenthal was in town the other day and I can't quote him exactly but it was somewhere along the lines of "if you're not using co2 your simply wasting your electricity"

exactly//Thanks waaayne. Ethylene thats what I was looking for in my head I knew I had read that somewhere in the past. Ive noticed my buds used to get bigger when I ran co2 till the end, but they wouldnt get as tight or be nearly as aromatic or flavorful as when I cut co2 down. Not to mention would take 8 days longer to get my trich's to amber up. Same strain, same room, etc.
