I am just wondering if I have my CO2 set up, if it would be beneficial to run CO2 during the Vegetative growth phase.
Is CO2 during vegetative growth a waste?

yes it needs it for the photosynthesis process. converts it to oxygen.. after a while of no co2 and lack of circulation your plant starts to just use up all the c02 and overtime.. well you get the picture.

extra co2 probably helps more during flowering, especially in the times when the plant is adding weight the fastest. the plant strips the carbon off of the co2 molecule and uses it as a building block in it's construction.

Ok. Well I have awesome air flow and plenty of fresh air coming in through my hepa, should I still use my CO2 or wait until it hits flowering?

i don't know from experience, but if the plant uses a carbon molecule off the co2 then it probably does it in both flowering and vegging, but thats just my opinion.

i wouldn't worry about it, i have a medicinal 10x15x8 grow room and run 2 (1 for each section) hyrdrofarm booster fans connect to 6' inch duct leading to the windows, they bring in more than enough air and i veg for 8 weeks. just my 2cents.

kinda waste really....unless you grow 50+ plants, then it's worth it.

10x15x8 grow medicinally, how many people are you growing for, thats a pretty big room for one person's meds. so, in a room that size, how many plants can you grow, and is it split so you can veg in half and flower in half??

co2 is more beneficial in flowering. It can easily double your yields. If you have the means and it's no issue, you can use it throughout the grow, however it is most efficient in aiding growth in flowering.

Co2 is best when you have ALL other Aspects of your grow perfected.. . Until your certain you have a consistent area with no major temp swings..and 0 issues with your PH or feeding. after all is perfected using Co2 Correctly will make your buds tighter,dense >.< like that bomb weed that is annoying to breakup you wanna take scizors to it

LOL, those were some pretty strange questions to ask, and I sensed a slight hint of accusation.... i don't doubt that cops check this board out, I mean shit you could probably get more leads here than with the local snitch. I am in Oakland, voted murder capital several times, this city is a fucking wasteland of death, drugs and poverty. I could walk into the police station butt ass naked, with a severed goats head tucked under my arm and they wouldnt even blink.. they don't want to waste the few resources they have on some blue collar working stiff with a small grow that he uses for his insomnia. shit there are guys out there pushing the 99 plants limit and some.

It can greatly cut down on your veg time if used properly.
