Which weeks in flower do you run the sucunat?
I'd like to know if there's anyone else here who monitors or runs CO2 in conjunction with an organic or partially organic program that includes the use of sugars. As I understand it, rate of CO2 production can be correlated with plant respiration, which is correlated with plant growth.
Any sugar, not just Sucanat.
Wow, alright, thanks for that! Being as I grow mostly outside and don't mess with CO2 this is something I'm not able to monitor. That's actually pretty impressive.
I had 500 gallons of organic soil in a flowering room, fed consistantly with Molasses and Banana Manna. I had to turn off my CO2 because the room's ppms were sitting at 2000+ both lights on and off..
Almost every feed, sometimes for the plants and sometimes to make sure the bennies had something to eat.How often did you feed with sugars?
Gr33n, just an FYI with regard to using ppm's (EC) to measure organic compounds like sugars--it's not very accurate. I've found, for example, that by going with a use rate of 1tsp/gal of molasses I can see my EC hit 2.0 easily, yet volumetrically and by the plants' reaction I know that's not a 'burning' EC level. Yet, if it were a salt I were measuring, I know very well it would burn.
Make sense?
In any event, like I said, this is fascinating to me because CO2 respiration equates to plant growth/activity.
I don't know about microbes releasing all that much CO2 in their life processes, can't speak to it at all, actually, but if you have more information to share about it I'd love to see it. :)
