CO2 System... Is It Worth It?

[alexoos]

I have 24 ladies in my room and they look great...I just finished curing my first crop and found that the density of some of my buds isn't the greatest. Its a red diesel strain and i budded for 13 weeks with a 1000W on a light rail... I was looking at grabbing a co2 burner for the room but i want to know how much of a difference will it really make.. Will i see a noticeable difference in yield and density? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

it will add 30% if used correctly

yea, its worth it.

How dangerous is it having a co2 generator? I was thinking about getting one but I'm worried about dieing from it.

lol, my outake is pumping air (some must be unspent Co2) into my bedroom! no problems over the last year. Its carbon monoxide you need to be worried about, Co2 is present in everyday air all the time.

The co2 generators are nice, if your in the room with it on, it wont hurt you.

i once used a lightrail with a 600 watt light and had smaller buds than usual as i was moving the light over a 2 meter square area to cover 24 plants in 4 gallon pots.
because i was moving the light over such a large distance it effected the size of the buds as they did not have the prolonged full intensity of the light that you get with having the light static.
something to bear in mind when using the co2 is the light intensity, you would get some increase in bud density but not as much as having your light static.

because you can fit more plants in with the light mover you should end up with more weight made up of smaller buds than having a static light.
go for the co2.

I had a grow where i had some 'low PH problems' early in bloom,(caused some deficiencies) and i ended up with some really 'airy' buds. I even let them mature a little longer than usual, but they would never fill out the way they did on the previous run. So, the only thing i could think of, was that the stress from the PH problems caused them to have a poor final density. Any major stress could have this effect, so just putting that out there as a possibility.

I agree that it's likely a 'light issue', but I like to try to cover all bases.

Everyone thanks for your input! it really helps!

Seriously though can it be dangerous to run co2 in your grow room? I wanna run a cap 1 co2 generator with a sentinel cppm-1 controller. I wanna know if it would be okay to run the generator manually for awhile till I can afford to get the controller in a few weeks?
