Add CO2
If you are looking for ways to increase the yield of your cannabis plants, CO2 enrichment may be for you. CO2 is an essential part of photosynthesis and increasing CO2 levels can lead to better growth and higher yields.
Here are some tips to increase the yield of your cannabis plants using CO2 enrichment:
-
Understand the correct CO2 levels: To effectively increase CO2 levels, it is important to know the correct levels. It is generally recommended to raise CO2 levels in the grow room to around 1200-1500 ppm (parts per million) to optimize plant growth.
-
Choose the right CO2 system: There are a variety of CO2 systems available, including combustion systems and specialized tanks. Choose a system that suits the size of your grow room and your budget.
-
Check the air circulation: It is important to check the air circulation in the grow room when enriching CO2. Provide adequate ventilation to distribute the CO2 evenly and prevent hotspots.
-
Ensure the right temperature and humidity: CO2 enrichment can affect the temperature and humidity in the grow room. Keep the temperature and humidity at the right level to maintain the health of the plants.
-
Only use CO2 during the vegetative and flowering phases: CO2 enrichment is most effective during the vegetative and flowering phases of plant growth. It makes no sense to add CO2 in the germination phase or the harvest phase.
-
Monitor the CO2 levels: It is important to monitor the CO2 levels in the grow room to make sure they stay at the right level. Use a CO2 meter to check levels and adjust the CO2 system if necessary.
-
Beware of overdose: Overdose of CO2 can damage the plants and can even be dangerous for humans. Be careful not to let the CO2 levels get too high and follow the manufacturer's instructions for using the CO2 system.
CO2 enrichment can be a great way to increase the yield of your cannabis plants, but it's important to use it correctly. With these tips you can ensure that your CO2 system is working properly and that your plants are getting the maximum benefits.
