I love my mead… especially heavy heavy fruit mead 
I dabbled making it for a year, filled a bunch of carboys to bulk age, then kinda applied too much LITFA and started growing instead.

I like it also, but don’t drink alcohol anymore.
Like a Bakers Cheese Pie vs. NY Cheesecake, I like the old cheese pie.

Personally CO2 is the one thing I did that added both quality and quantity. Best investment I ever made in my grow setup.
I run my tanks between 600-1000 PPM and a tank lasts roughly 3 weeks. I go through about four tanks per grow at a cost of $200. That gives me way more than $200 worth of extra yield.

Yes. But you being you, I’m 100% sure your environment and food regime was dialed in years ago. 
Very next line after your quote
My post wasn’t meant to discourage people from using co2, but simply to be mindful that if your rh is out of wack, you got 20° difference between night and day temps and are struggling with deficiencies, you are not ready for the big push.
Seems obvious but I’ve seen it too many times

No doubt everything was pretty dialed before adding CO2. It was one of the last things I added. Clearly one has to have a sealed room with environmental controls before using CO2.
My point is that CO2 is one of the only things I’ve ever added that increased both quality and quantity. No other product even comes close.
After learning about how C3 plants, like cannabis, use CO2 it makes sense how adding it can make such a difference. C3 plants use an enzyme RUBISCO to fixate CO2, but due to the shape often fixates O2 instead. Increasing the CO2 decreases the frequency of fixation O2, thus the plant can utilize more light.

I’m formally calling shenanigans on this. CO2, for an hour, above usable levels, in the dark no less meaning it can’t be utilized, a few times throughout flower, making plants finish 2 months early? C’mon.
CO2 needs to be at constant elevated levels during light period of flower. Once for a few hours ain’t gonna do anything. Might kill some bugs though.

I think the cold snap was the point, not really sure, it works though, sends plant into budding when others continue to veg. Does that sound logical?
I love Shenanigan’s, my fam uses that all the time. I am not scientific, just consistent. I have used these bottles outdoors where there can be no benefit. But there is, I have beautiful plants most of the time with none of the common problems other seem to battle. But it could be the Buttermilk/Meade lab, home made worm castings or bat guano and alfalfa/kelp foliar spray. I am using Foop for the first time indoors, it has a foliar spray of willow water with some other goodies. It seems to outperform the guano/kelp foliar. But, when I walk into the garden in the morning, it smells like a brewery kinda. Draws in these weird little red flying things, they don’t hurt plants so we let em live.
Indoors the containers stay in room 24/7 with levels around 600. Stopping ventilation raises to 1000 -1100 it makes plants look different in that hour. Kinda sleepy.

This is so Informative subject pertaining to many reasons for people who have not ever used or knew about using C0’2 in Indoor grow tents and with the huge burst the last 5 years with states allowing to grow tents popped up in every household so this is very good to read take note’s good learning thread.
So many different opinions and yet basic home household goods are all you need…

Carbon deficiency is a myth. Plants are made of NPK. Hollow stems create bigger faster growing plants. That’s proof carbon isn’t important. Sugar is for microbes not plants.
Why do you keep posting bad info when it’s clear you aren’t really sure what you’re talking about?

I believe that @HalOstem is referring to the “Debunked Heartland Report” It is a co2 talking point.
However, I do put these jugs under plants, I do put them in my grow rooms, I do smell something natural when I open the door or go to my outdoor field. If I thought it was not having an affect I would not post it. I want people to hear what I have been told by hippie growers, not many science guys at the roundtable back then.
For Science: The Heartland Memo: Myths About Carbon “Fertilization”.
Oh and @HalOstem, if your goal is to be at overgrow, help overgrow with links to facts, great articles & good debate founded on the general passion for the weed and desire to help others overgrow.
