CO2
Elevating carbon dioxide levels can increase growth speed a great deal, perhaps even double it. It seems that the plant evolved in primordial times when natural CO2 levels were many times what they are today. The plant uses CO2 for photosynthesis to create sugars it uses to build plant tissues. Elevating the CO2 level will increase the plants ability to manufacture these sugars and plant growth rate is enhanced considerably. CO2 can be a pain to manufacture safely, cheaply, and/or conveniently, and is expensive to set up if you use a CO2 tank system. CO2 is most usable for flowering, as this is when the plant is most dense and has the hardest time circulating air around its leaves. This is why i say fan's are a must..
If your strictly growing vegetatively indoors, (transferring your plants outdoors to flower), then CO2 will not be a major concern unless you have a sealed greenhouse, closet or bedroom, and wish to increase yield and decrease flowering time. For a medium sized indoor operation, one approach is to used CO2 canisters from wielding supply houses. This is expensive initially, but fairly inexpensive in the long run. These systems are good only if your area is not too big or too small.
I USE A LIQUID PROPANE GENERATOR IN THE WINTER AND CO2 CANISTER IN SUMMER..
MY GENERATOR IS A SIX BURNER AND IT PUTS OUT HEAT BUT IT WILL GENERAT ABOUT 36 CU. FT. PER HOUR..
THE MOST IMPORTENT THING IS PLENTY OF FRESH AIR AND PROPER VENTILATION...
MOST GROWERS SEE A BIG INCREASE IN YIELD WHEN USEING CO2. BUT THEY WOULD HAVE SEEN ABOUT THE SAME THING IF THEY WOULD HAVE HAD PROPER VENTILATION TO START WITH..
SO DON'T WAST YOUR CASH ON CO2 TILL YOU HAVE THE REST OF YOUR ROOM SET UP RIGHT WITH GOOD VENTILATION AND THEN ADD YOUR CO2 AND YOU WILL SEE BIGER AND FATTER BUDS
