Drooping leaves after CO2

Ok, so I did all my research on CO2. Since my indoor grow room is completely sealed, I thought it to be a good idea to incorporate it. Been doing great for a week or so. So I had the brilliant idea to put the CO2 closer to plants for a boost, after only 30 minutes, went to move it back and all leaves were drooping. I KNOW I put it too close. Will they bounce back?

Not at this time. I am growing in a large bedroom, completely separated and sealed each section for seed and veg and one for flowering. Only have the one plant right now. That is why I decided to add the CO2, was told it would help since I do not have it vented. The drooping happened within the 30 minutes I had the CO2 close to plant.

Most people don't understand what sealed truly means. But sounds like you do.

There should be plenty of oxygen. Your temps and humidity need to be spot on in a sealed environment. You should be dropping co2 from a high point since it will drop.

A SEALED room DOES NOT need oxygen.if you are supplementing c02 properly When you say you put it too close, How did you do that. are you using some sort of c02 making gimmick, or are you using an actual c02 bottle,regulator,sensor?

I am not using store bought CO2, I make my own with the sugar and yeast which is what I have done in the past and always worked well for me. But my little lady I have now had a slow start because of lighting issues, so I thought I would try a CO2 boost by putting the tube right next to plant, my mistake, it has worked so well in past, I should have just left it alone. I know what I did wrong, just wondering if they will bounce back now that I have aired the room out.

I normally have the Co2 hanging well above the plant with my fan on floor to blow CO2 around as it falls, made a mistake putting it directly next to plant. Just hoping it will bounce back now that I have aired room out.

yes, it will bounce back. If you aren't using a bottle,reg,sensor. Don't bother with those gimmicky sugar,yeast things. Youre wasting your time and really not getting any benefits from it. others may argue that they are, but, they really aren't.

Thanks for response, my mind is a little more at ease now, a little, hate seeing my poor girl like this.

I would try to get a nice air exchange going, that will bring plenty of fresh c02 in.
you either run a open room and provide lots of fresh c02, or a sealed room where c02 is supplemented and air exchanges are not needed.

Ok gentleman, or ladies? New issue, my leaves have perked right back up, took a bunch of readings before changing my rez. The rockwool ph was super high while my rez was good. Decided to give my rockwool a little 0 ppm water to bring it down a bit, like 2 cups. Switched to the new rez, ph good in rez. Waited about an hour, tested again, ph in rockwool is now low, too low while my rez is ok. What did I f**k up? First time I have seen this, first time using rockwool also.

Plants don't need oxygen till lights off scenarios. .. are you giving co2 during veg if so your wasting money as it does not help much if any in veg from personal experience.
