Observation:
I have a CO2 meter, and I've noticed the values slowly rising lately (just using my breath to supply CO2 in my small studio apartment ). Didn't think much about it, other than it should be good for my plants but was reaching unhealthy levels for humans (me) and I should crack a window.
But, after flushing last night the CO2 levels have dropped from over 1600 ppm to 750 ppm. It would appear my plants are consuming more CO2 after the flush. (I flushed my girl plus my pepper plants while I was at it.)
I'm taking this as a good sign, as if they were choking, weakened, and in survival mode, not being very active; and now they're back to "breathing deeply".
I wonder if an increase in CO2 (decrease in CO2 consumption) could be used as a measure of when to flush?
Thanks,
