Location of the air pump
jovialcupid9started grow question 5 years ago
Hi, in my growroom i have CO2 level at 700-1000 ppm. My air pump is standing 15 cm above ground.
Should I raise the pump higher? Is there a chance that I giving CO2 instead of oxygen to the roots?

Air is 75% Nitrogen so you're also giving N to the roots. Do not worry, they won't uptake anything not designed to do. Besides, CO2 on the water is not a bad thing, many growers water with seltzer/carbonated water because that will release the CO2 and be taken by the natural photosyntesis of the plant.

Привет, бро! 👋
Я бы на твоём месте ничего не трогал и не опасался ничего! 👆
Когда выращивают в промышленных масштабах (от 1 гектара и больше), вместе с поливом по месту культивации протягивают и шланг с подачей CO2. На цветении углекислый газ подают прям к корням, закапывая трубу в поверхностный слой почвы. Углекислый газ растение перерабатывает не только листьями и цветами, но и корнями! 👆
Поэтому не стоит беспокоиться, твои корни примут CO2 если он будет нужен растению, точно так же как и примут этот газ листва и цветы твоей девочки! 👌
Удачи, бро! ✊😇
