Maximize Cannabis Yields by Adding CO₂ to Your Grow Tent
When discussing food for our plants, we often consider the nutrients we put into the soil. Still, we often forget that photosynthesis is also required for plant growth. Without light, water, and CO₂, we wouldn’t have the catalysts for photosynthesis . Just as increased nutrients can lead to larger yields, higher amounts of ambient CO₂ in your grow area can also lead to higher yields. Supplementing CO₂ is a common practice in commercial cultivation but not widely used in home grows , and we’ll cover some potential reasons for that in this article. Together we will explore the conditions that need to be met, the best time to use it, and how to calculate the amount of additional CO₂ needed for your grow space. We’ll also cover monitoring options, desired levels for different growth stages , and some DIY methods for boosting CO₂ in a grow tent.
