Sources of Carbon Dioxide Supplementation
Supplementing carbon dioxide (CO2) in the grow room is common in indoor cannabis cultivation. As we discussed in our blog post on CO2 supplementation, CO2 is essential for photosynthesis. By increasing the amount of ambient CO2, growers can boost their plants’ photosynthetic rates, producing bigger yields and shortening the crop life cycle for more frequent harvests. In this blog post, we will discuss the different methods of CO2 supplementation. CO2 injection systems and tanks CO2 injection systems and tanks rank among the most popular ways …

Carbon Dioxide Supplementation
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is essential for photosynthesis. The amount of CO2 available to plants affects their net photosynthetic rate. Providing additional CO2 in indoor cultivation serves two purposes: (1) It can prevent a reduction in plant growth, which can happen in tightly sealed indoor environments if CO2 drops below ambient outdoor levels. (2) It can spur the rate of photosynthesis by providing elevated levels of CO2, resulting in bigger yields. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the role of CO2 in …

Carbohydrate Supplementation
Produced through photosynthesis, carbohydrates are a plant’s primary source of energy, and they play important functions in plant development. While cannabis plants synthesize carbs on their own, providing supplemental carbohydrates can save the plant energy, allowing it to divert that energy to other processes, including budding and flowering. In this blog post, we explain what carbohydrates are, the roles they play, and why growers may want to consider supplementing their plants with carbs. What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates (CH2On) are organic compounds made …
