CO2 and temp?

[HappyGrowmore]

Can anyone explain to me why my acceptable temp range is between 70-80 degrees F, but if I add CO2 then 80-90 degrees F is acceptable? Should I let my room get hotter with CO2? My current temps are daytime 78-82, nightime 68-72.

Great question.

Your plants can handle higher temps with Co2 because they can intake higher amounts of Co2 at higher temps.

In other words, if your with the 70's you plants can only take around 800 PPM, while when they are up to 85 (don't go past this even with CO2) they can take around 1300 PPM. As you likely know, Co2 will increase photosynthesis which in turn gives the plant more energy thus allowing it to grow faster and stronger.

I hope this helps.
