The Real Scoop on Co2

Why would you write this? Of course you can grow without it, but it maximizes growth, every aspect of it during light cycle. It doesn't matter which element is limiting your grow, they all will slow growth if they are in short supple. You can run a 1000watts in a 16 square foot area and it will do great until the CO2 drops and the light energy goes to waste. It's a matter of suppling the elements of photosynthesis at proportional rates so no one element is there in overabundance, and wasted. Some of you guys think this shit is magic. Some of you guys share all this awesome knowledge, like legallyflying, only to get arguments from ignoramuses who've had modest success.
Try digesting the science instead of all that sperm.

A fucking men. You'll notice that this thread is pretty old and I rarely start threads like this anymore. Started a "air stone test" thread..what a nightmare, fucking thing got drug up to the top the other day.
I really should just learn to ignore those people but for some reason it is just hard.

All good stuff. No question it takes money to make money. BUT!!! You knew that was coming right.....my water heater and my clothes drier both use the in house N.G. the exhaust all goes up the chimney. Is it worth it for me to try and capture some of that?

How would you recomend running co2 in a 2 room perpetual set up. I hear it is not good in late bloom.

Probably given how much misunderstanding there is on CO2
Are there even moderators on this site? I don't think I have ever seen a mod post

I had an idea for in the winter, if your wanting lower temps how about running a closed loop from the outside through the room and back out, the metallic accordian ducting will allow alot of the cold air to radiate into the room cooling it. A cheap experiment to try. Just as the lights are a closed system and make things much warmer. This should help prevent the necessity for aircon in the winter.

How does that have anything to do with Co2. Besides it won't work. The volume of air compared to the surface area is too large.
And besides, cold pipe on warm environment equals dripping mess.

Just re-read this post from a long time ago. If this shouldn't be a sticky..I don't know what the fuck should be. Ohh yeah..uncle bens topping technique. Wow! Top your plants! Amazingly insightful

Bought myself a C.A.P. Gen-1 on CL but now I wanna put another brass burner or two on it. It has the capability to hold and run 4 such burners but comes with only one. Google for this or C.A.P. parts in general yields nothing. Any bright ideas gang, on where I can get a couple of these parts / accessories? I'd rather have it run hotter than run longer, I think. Thanks for reading.

Maybe email hydrofarm?
It appears this place still has ones for Natural gas in stock:

So you really have no idea what your co2 levels are?
Running a closed system in cooler temps is all good but what do we do in the hotter summer months? A room I visit runs an in room a/c unit through warmer months which blows out a not insignificant amount of hot air from the flowering room constantly during lights on. How could you possibly avoid this and is it even feasible to run co2 in a room that also runs A/C?
Sorry to bother you LF but I have searched for that thread by uncle Ben and I cannot find it.
If you know where it is could you post a link please?
Don't mean to hijack your excellent (now classic) thread.

He just tells you how to pinch them to top. It ain't rocket science. Look up Uncle Ben on RIU. He's around still. Check this out too.

I like Uncle Ben. He's another old coot. This is far from his technique though and is old as the hills.
Thank you
