Leaving burners on 24/7

So i started leaving the co2 burners on 24h a day after seeing a friend get a crazy yield doing the same.
Up until i tried it i was very close to 1gpw on soil on some strains and after trying this with my trusted nl5haze i blasted that barrier for the first time. Some lamps got slightly over 700g.

I didnt do anything else different same temperature and humidity parameters, cut co2 at week 6 so i can start reproducing fall conditions to get that stench going. I dont know why it would have done better though my reasoning is that dropping from 1500ppm to 500ppm at night could beqa source of stress to the plant? I doubt several millions years ago when co2 was at a higher concentration in the atmosphere that it would drop by over half at night? Thats the only explanation i can conjure.

So who else has tried this or is doing this or can provide an explanation as to why it would work since it seems plants dont use co2 during darkness??

Your only wasting money on the gas used.

Co2 supplementation only effects the plants with the lights on!

Something else changed.....

I get around 1.6 to 1.7 GPW with no gassing....
Thats what i thought too until i did everything else the same except keep burners on.

Are you clocking that on soil or hydro? How long you veg normally? Thats impressive if achieving that without co2!

Soil
Organic water only - home built = a cpl of tenths less per. Some strains the same as synthetic.
Some synthetic experimenting with a certain line gets the higher amounts.
NO bloom boosting either!
Veg is to height required - 6 weeks + on some.
2 or 4 plants per 1K light. Depends on strain.
Lights set at 6 ft centering - so the footprint overlaps.

No gassing.

I see, so with the way you have things youre getting over 1.5kg from 4 plants under 1k? Fuck me id never seen that, especially without gassing. You must have very good airflow and climate conditions.
I used to do thnigs similar to what youre doing i suppose but i found that the veg space being utilized could just be another flowering room, so ye more plants less veg.
I veg a maximum of 1 week with 9 for branchy strain 16 for non branchy per sqm2, and can finish a whole crop in maximum 10 weeks. Ive got a gem of a cut from the early 90s from holland which is i think an nl3 x silver haze or even an nl3 x haze that without co2 would be mature(as in brown and amber trichome heads mature) in 55 days, with co2 its at the same readiness at 47/48 and just 1 day of veg. I need to try her on the 24h co2 thing cause up until now its always been between 600/650 per lamp.

Air flow is optimized.
Temps are held to 71-74 F - no matter the season.
RH set to 45% and it rides the dehuey's to 49% and they fire up.
I water a strict way and amount.

Strain choice is key. I mean, you know. Some strains will never yield well.....Cookies, Blue Cheese the list goes on....

Blue Dream was a top producer. I moved on to better things and won't go back to that.
GG#4 is a massive yielder in my garden.

You get the drift, I'm sure..

I wish my Fruity Pebbles pheno would yield better.

I’ve been hunting for a good fruity people clone or seeds for a bit. Just had a buddy around that had some sunset sherbert he’s breeding with another sunset and said he’d hook me up with some seeds. I love seed swapping.
