if all conditions are met, you mean.

If you mean all conditions like light, water, nutes, etc, then yes. If not, I don't know what you mean.

no, that's not what i mean. if you don't have an optimal/controlled environment, then you're just wasting money. sure, your plant will have more co2 available, but will it be able to utilize it? co2 isn't a magic bullet. used correctly, as you said, you'll see amazing results. that means all your co2 gear/grow gear is hooked up to your expensive electrical controllers and such. that means a sealed room. unless the temps. are correct, your plant isn't going to be able to process the increased co2 levels. you need to maintain the room at 82-87 (not sure on the exact temps.) so the stomata will open wider. the only way to run these higher temps. is by using co2. if not, then you run the risk of airy/fluffy buds that'll burn like tumbleweeds. if the temps. aren't correct, it doesn't matter how much co2 you put in the room. the plant won't be able to use it. i think i'll exit this thread now, it's beginning to get hostile!

I know Co2 needs higher temps. Take a look at my grow log, it mentions my temps will be up at 85-90 degrees because I'm using Co2. I also went to school for horticulture and attained a degree in Environmental Horticulture, so I have a pretty good idea as to what the plants need.
I haven't been hostile, I was just trying to clear up what you meant. You don't need it hooked up to an expensive controller. You can buy the Co2 reg/solenoid/flow meter for $150(I got mine used for $60), hook this up to your $10 a month rented tank, and hook your solenoid up to a timer. Use a Co2 calculator to figure out how long to run you system to get up to 1500ppm with your cu ft, and there you go. Its all done for under $200 and will give you much more than an extra $200 worth of product.

Dude, you are officially the biggest douche bag on RIU. First off, lets look at this quote shall we?
FANS DO NOT PRODUCE C02! And the amount of C02 in your room isn't enough to even really benefit the plant dumb ass. A fan doesn't give the plant c02, it's there to circulate air and to keep your plants stems healthy. How many grows have you actually done? I don't think you really know what you are talking about.
The fans help keep the room stable. Too much humidity and no fans could leave you with moldy bud. humidifier just raises the humidity, I know what they do smart ass.
Most growers, including myself, don't have OPEN WINDOWS in their grow rooms, so how the fuck are you suppose to get fresh air into the room?
LMFAO @ YOU! c02 is not a waste, how what the fuck are you talking about people not having sealed rooms? You are a complete moron and I suggest you do yourself a favor and not post anymore.

i remember when i was a teenager. mouth always flopping. i suggest that next semester you take a reading comprehension course. fans circulate air. co2 is in air. air, as in the massive amount that's in your head. for most growers, the amount of co2 that occurs naturally, is sufficient for growing. i'm not one to toot my own horn, but i have been growing for over 5 years and have never gotten less than an elbow from 6 plants under 1000 watts. never used a co2 set-up. i have on occasion though, used a hand held co2 cartridge tire inflator to apply co2. i stopped using it though, cause i never had the correct temps. for it to be beneficial. you don't have to have a window in your grow room. as long as you have the correct cfm fan exchanging the air in the room, you'd be fine. you know junior, there's no need to become an ass when making a point. you're really showing your immaturity. let me guess, 19 yr. old male, still living at home with mommy and daddy.

Wrong again. LMFAO! One pound from 6 plants - that ain't shit! If you did it right, you should have gotten at least a qp from each plant. My maturity? You are the one that posted some ridiculous ass shit from the get go - which we all know you were wrong.
And wtf does my age have to do with anything? I love how you resort to insults when you can't come up with anything better to say. Everyone else here was pretty much in disagreance with what you said - especially the fan comments. I'm done with you because it's like arguing with a brick wall. I laugh every time I read your lame ass comments.
BTW...
Let's see some of your grows hot shot. You show me yours, I'll show you mine.

i leave my fan on 24/7. i am concerned otherwise the air will get stagnant and the girls will be unhappy. i'm hoping it helps deter critters especially the flying kind.

Hi emptypool1 - like most things with growing ... it depends.
generally speaking you should leave all your fans on, all the time. I will elaborate on the reasons but want to interject the only time you'd want the air to be still is if you are using CO2 injection. CO2 injection is great for your plants if used correctly and do not let any forum bullies tell you otherwise. All you have to do is read a few marijuana growing books and you'll learn that quickly. But that is a digression - now on to why you need lots and lots of fresh air...
First - I can't believe someone is arguing against CO2. not sure where Silky Shagsalot is getting his info but he is mistaken. there is very, very little CO2 in air and the plants - especially in an indoor grow box or small room - deplete the supply quickly. A constant supply of fresh air corrects this. In fact, I like to have an exhaust fan that can empty my grow area at least three times every minute.
This is the primary reason for leaving the fans on. but there are others...
Second - constantly circulating the air can help keep the room cool (and that can really help when you're using HIDs).
Third - a breeze helps strengthen the stems
Fourth - a breeze makes it more difficult for insects, mold, and fungus to set-up shop on your leaves.
Well - that's all i can think of for now - but any one of those reasons are pretty good.

Well, since the wind doesnt blow for days outside, i guess its ok to not even have a fan. Weak unsupportive stems are good for the plant. More CO2 for the... uhhh... buds? LMAO.What's up goodbye? What are your thoughts on fans helping stem structure? If you give the right answer, welcome to TLB!
BTW...
Squid billies ROCK!
And yes, Squidbillies is the SHIT!!! lol
