that's called common sense.... holy shit.. lol this is officially the most idiotic place I've ever seen on the internet
The genetic structure (genotype) only plays 50% of the role in determining the appearance and quality (phenotype) of a given plant. The other half is determined by environmental conditions such as light, temperature, humidity. soil nutrition and more. All these factors play a role in the growth and health of plants and the physical and chemical nature of marijuana's trichomes.
When someone attempts to grow cannabis, if they hope to be at all successful that is, they will do their very best to create growing conditions, a growing environment, that will be as optimal to growing cannabis plants as they possibly can. You have done the exact opposite of that.
Creating as near to optimal growing conditions/environment is the only way to have any chance of true success when growing cannabis. For each and every tiny bit of that where someone fails, where their setup falls short, there will be a loss and when there are enough failures, shortfalls, combined, it equates to total failure.
Someone cannot take a plant with thousands and thousands of years of evolution shaping and forming and directing what it does, how it does it and when it does what it needs and when it needs it, all according to strict genetic coding that is not flexible, that cannot be altered, that cannot be trained, that is not "instinct" and actually believe they will succeed unless they are delusional.
Given what you are attempting, you might as well plant palm trees in the Antarctic and expect them to successfully grow and flourish.
Dude ... accept the help and advice that at least a few people have given you, like me when I posted the list of online growing books and other sites for valid growing information, and follow the information you find there, rather than rejecting what help is given and being abusive while doing it. People will help you if you only chill out and open up your mind and accept the help.
I will give you one half point for something that others said you are doing that does not work. It will not work given your conditions, but what you are doing will work under certain conditions. That is feeding your plants CO2 at night (though I somewhat doubt you are pumping actual CO2 onto them, but if you are, then when you were told that plants do not use CO2 at night, depending if certain conditions did exist, which they do not in your case, you were told wrong.
Plants do not need sunlight or light from grow lights to take in CO2 and use it, they only need stored light energy. The energy harvested via the light reaction is stored by forming a chemical called
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a compound used by cells for energy storage. This chemical is made of the nucleotide adenine bonded to a ribose sugar, and that is bonded to three phosphate groups. This molecule is very similar to the building blocks for our DNA. The dark reaction takes place in the stroma within the chloroplast, and converts CO2 to sugar.
This reaction doesn't directly need light in order to occur, but it does need the products of the light reaction (ATP and another chemical called NADPH).
The dark reaction involves a cycle called the Calvin cycle in which CO2 and energy from ATP are used to form sugar.
Plants grown in extremely hot, dry areas like deserts, can only safely open their stomates at night when the weather is cool. Thus, there is no chance for them to get the CO2 needed for the dark reaction during the daytime.
At night when they can open their stomates and take in CO2, these plants incorporate the CO2 into various organic compounds to store it.
You get a half point for your nigh time use of CO2,
well maybe a quarter point since your growing conditions are not such where this sort of process would occur.
