CO2

Enhancing plant growth in controlled environments can be achieved by supplementing with carbon dioxide (CO₂). Proper application in grow rooms and grow tents can lead to significant improvements in yield and plant health.

How to Use CO₂ in a Grow Room

1. Assess the Environment: Ensure the grow room is well-sealed to maintain optimal CO₂ levels.
2. Select a CO₂ Source:
• CO₂ Generators: Burning propane or natural gas to produce CO₂.
• Compressed CO₂ Tanks: Releasing controlled amounts of CO₂ gas.
3. Implement a CO₂ Controller: Utilize a CO₂ controller to monitor and regulate CO₂ concentrations, maintaining levels between 1,000 to 1,500 ppm for optimal growth.
4. Timing: Release CO₂ during the light cycle, as plants only photosynthesize when exposed to light.
5. Ventilation Management: Coordinate CO₂ enrichment with ventilation systems to prevent the gas from being exhausted prematurely.

How to Use CO₂ in a Grow Tent

1. Choose a CO₂ Source:
• CO₂ Bags: Natural CO₂ production through microbial activity.
• Compressed CO₂ Tanks: For more precise control.
2. Placement:
• CO₂ Bags: Hang above the plants, as CO₂ is heavier than air and will descend.
• CO₂ Tank System: Use a diffuser to evenly distribute CO₂ throughout the tent.
3. Monitoring: Employ a CO₂ controller designed for grow tents to maintain appropriate levels.
4. Safety Precautions: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent CO₂ buildup to harmful levels.
