Grow Mediums co2 Enrichment vs No Enrichment Grow Off

[Hal 8999]

This will be a grow comparison between two different growers. We are both doing Big Bang by Green House Seed Co. We will be using DWC, the same base nutrients and boosters, plain tap water, ph down/up, root plugs, grow tents and same size led panels. The difference will be that I am doing regular air, and they will be doing co2 enrichment to 1500 PPM. Lets see if I can keep up. It will start in about two weeks, maybe less.

Base Nutrients/ MHP Masterblend by Tyler Corp 4-18-38
Calcium Nitrate 15-0-0 Greenway Biotech
Epsom Salt

Additives/ GH Liquid Koolbloom 0-10-10
GH Armor Si 0-0-4 (silica)
GH Koolbloom Ripening Aid 2-45-28

Lighting/ 600 LED panels on track light movers.

Fellow grower and friend redhead420 will be the other end of this demonstration.

This is going to be soooooooo cool. i will be ready by 8/28-29 probably as far as equipment set up etc.

One of the main things that i am interested in is to see peoples reaction to how well the MHP compares to other marketed nutes. I check out alot of grow vids on you tube and compare my plants to theirs as far as to whatever stage they are in, and i have to tell you that MHP not only looks to be keeping up, but honestly outperforming them. some of them by far. We can show them your methods and how much in $$ they can save along with increases in yield and quality. Using cheap stuff at that-

So everything is going to be the same and they will be using co2 properly? That is like giving someone a 50 meter head start in a 60 meter dash my dude, but hey if you are down for the challenge get it!! I grow in DWC with co2 and just from a yield perspective generally see anywhere from a 20-30% increase in yield and overall quality is always better with the co2 budzzzzzzz

redhead420 is doing his grow and I am doing mine in separate locations, but it should be about identical. I have a bit more experience on my side, so that is why I say if I can keep up. He should blow me out of the water. It is a huge advantage to use co2 enrichment. He has a fully automated and calibrated controller to keep the level at 1500PPM. It is more to show the benefits of using co2, not a competition. Yet it does have to be to show the difference. No pink slips to the grow tents or anything.

I need another week, at least. Got a Kalashnikova that is finishing. It has not even started dropping leaves, so maybe two weeks.

 

[redhead420]

Right! No pink slips. I have a question, How long can i expect a 20lbs co2 cylinder to last me at 1200-1500ppm in a 10x10 room. This will be my first grow without any problems (hopefully) and i have never used c02.

 

[redhead420]

that plant is beautiful.

@derek420colorado how long should a 20lb tank last in a 10x10 room enriched to 1200-1500PPM 18 hours a day?

Oh sorry I meant to respond to this but I went to do daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabs [HASHTAG]#dabchurch[/HASHTAG]

To answer your question I will need to know a couple things, first how TALL is the room lol because we need to determine cubic feet. Also what kind of leakage rate do you have? Meaning how often are you exchanging your air?
