    @sdferro926 takes about 20 min to fully convert over to vapor.

    ok lets take a look at the science behind this plants need co2 your not going to feed them to much. Though it is pointless to give them to much because they won’t use it all. Think back millions of year ago when dinasours where around, now think about what plants they were eating and how much they were eating. Archaeology has shown us that plants where huge in every aspect because the CO2 levels in the atmosphere where a lot higher. Take some college classes, like garndening etc. then grow..

    @BigBoy42O nah man.. you only want to do this for about 5 min every few days in flower cycle, the plants suck it up real quick the humidity goes back to normal within seconds

    @redRiderEx
    well your roots need oxygen not co2. since the roots are in the dark and dont perform photosynthesis it would do them no good. but oxygen is very important for them. that’s why in soil you let it dry out a little in between waterings and with a dwc system you use an air stone =)

    @redRiderEx Yeah, Id use something Like that especially if outdoor, try mix up stuff and watch other videos..

    anyway, Im over this. good luck man

    @moosemanty my point is when your root system is being sufficated/ for example in rlly dense/swampy soil, sometimes u need to feed it into its root system…..get it?

    @redRiderEx
    i have no clue what you mean….what does soil have to do with this??????? co2 is absorbed through leaves when they perform photosynthesis, hence why you dont supplement co2 when lights are off. the soil has nothing to do with it…

    @redRiderEx Trust me man, Ive been there, bong water may help or may not I dont know, But what you need is a water soluble nutrients etc.. Trust me,spend a little money.. Like I say just keep the NPK feeding..anyway, goodluck with it, and post the tree when you finished! Goodluck to the both of you!

    @abcaston i know…..but i didnt even dig a hole to loosen up the soil, and i use earth soil besides what was in the root system which im sure put them threw a state of shock at 1st….and all i used was lime, triple 19, thrive and a lil bong water for shits and giggles, think the bong water helps?….also do you know a non-chemical way of keep pesty bugs off my lovely ladies….iv heard useing a lite mixture of soap water…..but i rlly dont want my shit tasting like dawn dish soap

    @redRiderEx Outdoor you could pull 2lb depending on the strain and how big the plant is, when you plant it and how much you feed it.. You feed a baby alot of food it gets fat.. feed it too much and it pukes.. Same with a plant.. feed the wed, they love it.. very greedy plants!

    @moosemanty unless your in a swampy or superdense/thick soil where you cant get good CO2 in the soil….some ppl use it then…but id just suggest a 5 gal bucket and some good soil hey lol

    @abcaston now your talking like alien language to me now..ill try to find some of this stuff..but im more then likely gonna advance my knowlage of outdoor growing for next year..ill just use this years batch as a first year learning experience..but from what the old timers around here say, i think im doing pretty good..one told me last week that id prolly expect about 2 oz’s per plant..but id probably owe it to the dude who let me barrow his high pressure sodium lights for starting em

    @abcaston Also get yourself some algamic from I think Bio Bizz use that through out with the superthrive and some NPK 5-7-12 or something like that through out, then change to a pk 10-13 & 14-18 High dose them once in the beginning and let it all soak in for 4 weeks with alot of water.. Then after the 4 weeks redo it.. You will see massive BUDS aswell as THC after 10 weeks.. Superthrive is just a tonic.. remember that, think of your body, you cant live on tonic.. Neither can a plant…not 100%

    @redRiderEx I would try super cropping on one of the bushes, especially with outdoor, outdoor is always better than indoor, what super cropping is when you actually pinch the main stem about a 1/3 of the way up and actually break the stem gently so it flops down, this will allow for buds to be grown throughout the whole stem as well as help the plant spread out.The stems will grow straight don’t worry, just make sure you get alot of hot sun!

    @abcaston with the amount of lime in the dirt here….and the combination of superthrive, triple 19, and some much needed TLC…..i think im doobin ok….except i kinda sorta forgot to pinch the tips lol…so im pretty much j gonna end up with a bunch of huge buds and little nuggs……allthough it’s still fairly early in the year here….i couple possibly j clone the top buds and bring em inside? i still got 3 months of grow time left…..good idea or no?

    @redRiderEx Still you would need over a ton off dry ice to do what you want to do.. Outdoor is outdoor, indoor is indoor, Same thing but big difference.. anyway.. enjoy! Superthrive is a tonic.. Its helps the plant take up nutrients.. You still need to feed is the BIG 3 N.P.K..

    Peace

    @abcaston some logic hey…hows this for logic….some people inject it into the dirt under thier root systems for the roots to absorb….and some people put it in thier hydroponic feeding systems which has the same effect….maybe you should do a little studying…..personally i just use super thrive….which basicall has the same effect except its more dense like water soooo……theres some logic….try not being so rude to someone with some simple questions

    @GrowCaliforniaCronic thanks alot for all your good kindess and help, i guess this is how people treat each other today when some one else ask a question, by the way i know all about co2 for plants, it just crossed my mind that dry ice is very cold and plants do not like cold temperature, a simple no would have answered my question. i guess you feel alot better about your self now, i know i do. asshole

    for everyone- plants need co2 to grow….common knowledge…you dont need it outside cause the air contains plenty. sometimes in a grow room though the plants dont get fresh air constantly and use up all the co2 in the room….too much can be bad though. i would say that this is probably useless because it doses them highly then it will be vented out. that’s like giving a human tons of oxygen for a few minutes then not the rest of the time.
