I was looking at getting a PRO CO2 or CO2 Boost Bucket and I just wanted to know if anyone has used these before and do they work. They guy at my hydro shop told me he tried one in a tent and it raised the ppm from like 300 to 900. Is that enough to make a difference?

the boost bucket definitely helps yields but a co2 tank and regulator dialed in is primo

A bucket or a tank for that matter won't raise ppm if your venting. You will blow the CO2 out as fadt as your making it.

co2 is heavy and will sink to the bottom while heat rises.. your temps with co2 can reach up in the 94 without shocking your plants but i wouldnt suggest it. having your exhaust fan on a timer.. 30-45min after the co2 is dispersed. giving the plants time to absorb as much co2 as they can.

CO2 levels rise naturally in winter. more so if your growing in the basement.
