C02 exhaust bag

Hi. I wanted to know if adding a CO2 exhaust bag in a small grow tent (60x60cm) is effective for overall growth? I'm European and most off my pairs said it was useless but the topics dated from 2010s and I couldn't find current definitive argument so... here I am.

In order to truly get the benefits of CO2 the ppm must be raised to a pretty decent level (up to 1000ppm). What C02 really does is it increases the plants light saturation and speeds up photosynthesis. So basically you would need to increase light intensity so the plant can use the extra C02, otherwise the results will be marginal or non existent. There’s no harm in trying one CO2 bags or bottles but it definitely won’t make your plant yield an extra ounce or anything like that. If you purchase one of those you also want to make sure you buy a C02 meter so you can tell if those products are actually releasing carbon dioxide and aren’t depleted. I hope this helps!

Hi! I haven't answered or published anything yet, im still " rookie" but i have same thing have on my mind! I read one blog from one finnish strore, and there said that after 6 monts bagss have losen only 15% of that what is supposed to produce! And those tanks or any others system that is" easy and cheap", it's most effective! I can't make promises, but i don't find any reason why they would lie? ( It's not good for business)!

I feel co2 works best in closed room grows unless using a bottle style co2 system. Problem is unless you can turn exhaust fans on low to avoid most of the beneficial C02 being sucked straight out. Good thing is you can normally allow the temp to rise using C02 up to a limit of about 30-32 although I would still like to keep it 28 ish max. CO2 enrichment is probably the last thing I would look at after getting everything else dialled in environment/light/feeding wise. Happy growing pal👍
