My 1st Indoor Grow - Advice Welcome

Plants intake Co2 just like they intake Oxygen, they do better when a regulated amount is added to the system. I'm not familiar with it's usage at all but I'm pretty sure you need a least a semi airtight system or the Co2 just leaks out.
CO2 is plant food

Thanks for replying mike...so you dont use co2?

 

[MikeTbob]

Only what is already in the air. Or when I talk to my ladies. haha

 

[NUTE]

So do you think it would make a difference in my 4x4 tent or I should just let fresh air in and it would be the same?

I know for a fact it will make a difference but you need some way to regulate it and that costs money. I have seen some people add it to their grow with just using a bag of yeast and other household stuffs in the corner but I am not sure how effective that is.

 

[NUTE]

Ok. I was looking some things up im just not sure what I need to have to have the whole kit. I will do more research. XD thanks again mike

 

[NUTE]

So I put the 2x jack herer and 2x northern lights to flower tonight and moved the rest to the closet as they weren't ready just yet.

Is co2 needed for a 4x4 tent or would it be the same as letting fresh air in? What exactly is the purpose of co2?

I am Product Reviewing Sierra Natural Science SNS-CO2 Kits and have noticed a growth increase after adding the Sierra Natural Science SNS-CO2 Kits. The one thing about the Sierra Natural Science SNS-CO2 Kits is they smell slightly sweet and pleasant. The amount of Sierra Natural Science SNS-C02 Kits that are required is based on the amount of square feet in your grow area, One bag will maintain 600 to 700 ppm of CO2 in a 20 square foot area.

Yeah I was going to buy that about a month ago but decided not to. Ive read that in order for the co2 to be effective it needs to stay around 1500ppm.

Here's some pictures taken two days ago

Looking good man. Keep up the good work.

 

[NUTE]

Thanks mike

 

[NUTE]

So tonight I put the rest to flower. Ive already started new seeds so i will be starting another journal for those plants.

 

[KingJohnC]

Your plants appear to be healthy!

 

[NUTE]

Hi Nute....

Just joined the forum....this is the first thread i have read....

I must say its a good thread...i will be interested to see how it turns out!

You had questions about Co2 and and just a fresh air intake.....

....i would recommend just having a fresh air intake if you can.
remember to that with your fresh air intake you must still have a little sucking in on your tent walls from your extraction...
...if your tent walls are bulging out at all then you have positive pressure...thats bad.

what are you using for a fresh air intake?
and what are you using for extraction?

 

[NUTE]

I have a valuline 435 cfm fan which is used for extraction through the air cooled hood. I have nothing for air intake besides open port holes.And yes sometimes the tent gets sucked in but ive added a speed control for the fan to turn it down some so this happens less often.

 

[Dr Jay Rolla]

you actually want the tent to suck in a little.....you know that right?

it will cuz negative pressure which is what u want. Otherwise smells would leak out.
