Does high Co2 in your dry room cause any harm to the drying buds?

Will 800-1000ppm of co2 in a dry room cause issues to plants hanging in the room to dry/cure? Its a new setup, will be running LEDS in veg and I have a room adjacent to my veg room for my drying, processing and also housing my reservoirs. I want to run Co2 in veg and temps might be slightly too high without A/C but not by much. I was thinking of using my dry room as a lung room. Put a small A/C in my dry/lung room so I can keep my temps at 60 for drying and run a passive intake in my veg room, pulling 60 degree air into the veg room but also exhausting the air back into the dry/lung room. Doing so will also equalize the co2 levels in both rooms. I donā€™t think it will be an issue but just wanted some feedback. Thanks

excellent question. :nerd_face:

iā€™m chemically educated but not in chemistry :laughing:

itā€™s not the worst, for sure, but it isnā€™t nitrogen eitherā€¦ :thinking:

i found an article suggesting it ā€œaids oxidation reactionsā€ which is probably bad for bud.

Do you understand that article?
I guess I am pretty dumb

Only superficially; It suggests that it ā€˜makes terps & flavors evaporate more easily, quicker degradation.ā€™

but I dunno wtf a cylic alkene is or an alky :beers: :fish: cichlid :laughing:

so wikipedia rabbit-hole beginsā€¦

Thatā€™s for catalytic oxidation reactions and thereā€™s none of that going on in the drying room. Those are lab or industrial processes for totally unrelated things.

I do have an actual diploma in chemistry from 30 years ago but remember enough to see that this is nothing to worry about.

Remain calm and carry on! :slight_smile:

:peace:

Screen name checks out lol. Thank you for the comment. Iā€™m gonna give it a go and see if I notice any changes in the final product.
