U got it. My grow is sealed, green dense buds. U can even sit in ur grow an Breath co2.
Right and my room is unsealed with green dense buds and the OP is unsealed and can have green, dense buds without adding CO2. The bottles won't hurt but won't dicernably help.

yeah, I'm done, your reasoning is beyond comprehension. Not even a troll like me can take advantage of the disabled. Peace out boyscout

Yeah but I figured the co2 generator couldn't hurt
CO2 will only really shorten the growth time, turning a 8 week plant into a 7 week plant. Good for clones, but not worth it for seed crops, IMOP Same nutes, you will pretty much not notice bud size difference. It's not worth the hassle in my book (sealed room, more light to be really effective, tanks again are a stealth hassle, generators run HOT) Been there , done it, fuck it.

Everybody has own way growing, don't mean it doesn't work. That's what I've been trying to say, but can't get threw 2 some. People are different and so are plants. If it works for u, don't let someone talk u out of it. Do what u do Bro.

So the longer u been here on this site, UR word gospel?
No, but if you read EVERYTHING, while adding your own experience you will find a logical consensus. If you read my last status post on my profile you might see that I certainly am not about letting that one RIU guy steer MY boat either. Thus, the consensus comment...that and you will find individuals you can count on.
I think many new members, veteran growers come in thinking they are the end all and discover they have been working in a vacuum and things have been added and subtracted from their MJ grow bible whilst they were away. ;)

Yep, I just come here to see how far I've come. ✌ nobody steering my grow either.

My tent temp ranges from 78-79° F during the day and 72-75°F during the night with an RH of 48 - 53 %. It this acceptable?

4. Fermentation <-- Not recommended; won't make enough CO2

Fermentation uses natural processes to produce CO2. Unfortunately this method will almost never produce enough CO2 to be effective.

Not Recommended!

Cons:

  • Very hard to produce enough CO2 to be effective

  • You can’t easily regulate the CO2 PPM levels

  • Can cause an unpleasant odor during the fermentation process

  • Impossible to automate; even if you manually check CO2 levels and take steps on a regular basis to keep the fermentation process going, it still won't produce enough CO2.



Cons:

  • Doesn't produce enough CO2 to be effective. Even in a very small space, growers may need to hang 4-5 or more bags (or more!) over their plants in order to achieve the right PPM in their grow area. Even then, I've never heard of any growers who use this method for long-term CO2 injection. They just don't work well enough for the price and time needed.
  • Some growers have trouble getting the fungus to grow properly (although you’re not supposed to need to do anything for these bags to work)
  • Even if you could make enough CO2, you still won't be able to regulate the CO2 PPM in your grow area so you can keep CO2 at optimal levels



Cons:

  • Often smelly and unsanitary
  • With home-made compost, it's almost impossible to produce enough CO2 to acheive 1200-1500 PPM
  • The pre-made systems like CO2 Boost are expensive and still don't produce enough CO2


Note: Breathing in the Grow Room Does Not Work!

Humans breathe out CO2 with every breath, and since that CO2 is free, it can be tempting to think you can add extra CO2 to your grow room, all natural, with no equipment needed.

Unfortunately this just isn't going to add enough CO2 to be effective. It's good to spend time with your plants, in fact I love hanging out in the grow room. But the facts show that breathing on your plants isn't going to make them grow any faster.

“The yeast or whatever they are methods are pretty pointless. I run at 1500 ppm. I've run CO2 for years. I've noticed larger yields, more heat tolerant plants, and sooner harvest times. I burn propane but I've used tanks for years prior. Highly recommend it.”
