I know folks thought I veg’d too long but these two girls are killin’ it. Super even canopy. Pumping out 475 watts in my 3x3 between the SQ300W and the 160 watts of side lighting for an even 1100 PPFD across the entire space. Go big or go home!

6 days into the 12/12 flip.

If you are not supplementing with CO2 your high PPFD is meaningless. Anything over 800 is a waste.

Where I grow has CO2 levels around 800 ppm, aka double outdoors.

How are you accomplishing this?

4 humans and 4 animals live and exist around the tent. Interestingly - in a 2 person bedroom - over the course of the night ppm levels reach +\-1500.

Run those lights at night then. High CO2 without light does nothing for the plant.

Yep, an average bedroom or house with a person or three in it regularly is usually around 1000ppm and can reach far more if adequate ventilation isn't provided. Our work meeting room can reach 2000-3000ppm during a meeting and people wonder why they are getting drowsy and yawning.

I cant count on one hand how many people invested in supplementary c02 to test their grow space and realise that they were already at 2-3x outdoor levels as they grow in an inhabited area with inadequate ventilation.

Yeah I’m not making use of the max levels - but was pretty happy at 800.

It’s shocking how few people are aware of the impact of humans and animals. Reaching elevated co2 levels is actually super easy
