New Grower CO2 and Fans in a grow tent. Need help.

[densemob]

Hey thanks Jerry! Unfortunately I grow in 3gal airpots using all organic soils and teas. I will stick to that but I Wish I could afford all the gear rumples got going there! I'm deffo considering getting a badboy t5 system to add to my led and cfls. Just gotta keep saving my pennies til then.

Its hard for co2 to do any good in an environment that small and not airtight too tho.....so the more fresh air exchange u have the less co2 ull have......i tried co2 in my tent and it did absolutly nothing bc of all the vents and fans u have to have in that small of an area........maybe keep that in mind also........but thats just my personal expierience as well.....ive talkd to others who have had some changes after adding some sorta co2 setup.......but personally i never have bc ive always grown in tent indoors instead of using a room or sumthing.. .. . Ive only needed a few harvests a year of 2 or 3 ab 2 weeks apart all of them in each grow......

Hey thanks Merlin! Yeah I figured as much. Think from here out I'm going to focus more moneywise and all on lighting and soil/teas. Eyes on Fire hooked me up with a soil additive starter kit from his Guy Smiley organics mix that I'm still fine tuning. Only going with a light mixture of it just so I know how to properly mix it with the soils I've got on hand. I KNOW the quality will be outstanding deffo headstash buds. I'm just trying to get my yield skills a bit better. Nothing beats the taste and high of all topline organic grows.

Hey dense.....you have a big increase in yield and quality w your teas???

Im thinkin ab tryin to go that route soon.......
Is it really worth the difference or u just do it bc ur tryin it out or what????
Always been curious ab that stuff

From what i hear you can use just plain carbonated water for co2 also.....never tried it personally but im goin to myself my next grow......maybe look around about that and check into it a lil if ur wantintin some extra growth from co2......
Or if anyone has done that before feel free to chime in
Hahah

Stay Green Everybody
: )

Merlin I've considered that myself but I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure carbonated water is different than just bubbling your own. I think once the bubbles in carbonated water break down the water can be anaerobic. not quite sure though. and regarding teas. definitely 100% it increases yields and makes better buds/plants. it only really is beneficial if youre doing an organic grow. ita all about feeding the soil to increase bio-availability of nutrients to the plants root system. and you dont need to flush out chemical salts etc. buds are super tasty and the high is mujch better medicinally and recreationally imho. look into TLO style growing and check out tlosoils.com but yields are still higher as far as I've seen with chemicals. organics have come a long way though and with tlosoils.com its already dialed in perfectly. top shelf everytime. :smoking:
