CO2 FAQ

CO2 is generally only used during the flowering or fruit set stage of a plants life. It speeds up photosynthesis and allows you to run your growing space at a higher temperature.

If you are running CO2, turn your fan off while it is discharging plus 10 minutes. You don't want to suck out all that valuable CO2. It is too costly to throw away.
