C02 a must for your indoor grow? Is the light absorption through photosynthesis that significant on your yield? What’s your take? Experience w/ C02 activate bags or tanks?

I just bought a tank and controller for my current grow. Don't have much to tell yet but atleast im theory the amount that the flowers will photosunthesise will rise from 25% to 100% (4x more) while you rise the temps to 30C and CO2 to 1500ppm. This the optimal and I think any amount is better than nothing but I would not spend too much money if you don't have meters and controllers to check the real CO2 amounts. I would say my plants are happy atleast

Dont do that vinegar thing its waste of time. If my calculations are right then 1g of baking soda produces 0.3l CO2 and in 10kg bottle there is roughly 5560l so to make the same amount you need almost 19kg of baking soda... 🙄

Lmao. Dont fall for the expensive c02 machines. Get a bottle of vinegar a pie plate filled with some baking soda, put a little hole in the vinegar and hang it over the pie plate and let it drip into the baking soda. There you have, very cheap creation of c02 and as much as you want. Happy growing.

long term Co2 tanks are super cheap though if you have a high quality regulator with a properly set up airflow system.

I think tanks for sure.. If you can spend the money in the long term and won't get pinched or whatever(cops). Then get the Co2 regulation controller and tanks.. It's just a much more effective long term solution.. Bags only last 6 months and that's it.. So like depending on your grow space you may need 4-5 bags.. Also depends on how many living creatures you have in the house vs. House plants. Other factors control CO2.. So I always tell people to get a monitor first. But there's lot of all in one solutions controller/monitor just you really wanna spend the money on this stuff as it is a gas so you don't want the cheap stuff that breaks and won't shut off. Bags are safer, expensive long term. Co2 tanks are expensive to do properly and should be don't cheap out.

Not a must in my opinion but it can help you do all sorts of cool things.. Like adding crazy amounts of light or putting the lights closer without hurting the ladies and adding heat is less of a worry and less stress to ladies because they just continue on thriving. even after flipping on lights switches for example. Cannabis loves light. "Respiration allows plants and other living things to release the energy stored in the chemical bonds of carbohydrates such as sugars made from carbon dioxide and water during photosynthesis. While a variety of carbohydrates, as well as proteins and lipids, may be broken down in respiration, glucose typically serves as the model molecule for demonstrating the process, which can be expressed as the following chemical formula: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen) --> 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) + 32 ATP (energy)"

I'm not planning on using it in my grow tent, as i'm planning on keeping my girls cool and the air flow excellent. I don't see much use in a personal small grow, but it can be very helpful in large grows with alot of heat and little airflow..
