new to co2 and as soon as i turned the co2 up to 1400ppm my leaves started to get fried and flowers stopped developing. i was 3 weeks into bloom when i turned it on.. started at 800ppm and gradually went up to 1400ppm over a few days. i ran it in veg and was fine. any help would be appreciated \. for now ac and co2 off and back to fresh air. looks like they are slowly bouncing back. I am running go and gorilla glue

If you use the search function you will find many threads explaining that any CO2 above 1000ppm is wasted!

Moses, I ran 800-1000 side by side with a 1500ppm room and yielded better in the 1500 room. I'll look that up though.

With added co2 the plants uptake more nutrients, what is the ppm/ec of your nutrient solution?

Also pics help immensely.

the ppm of nutrient solution tends to be low. At full strength feed it is about 1100. at the time of my problems at about 3 weeks into bloom it would of been lower then that because i wasn't at full strength yet

Without pictures this isn't going anywhere. Or you do more leg work, CO2 toxicity is very distinct.

moses i read your old post about your initial problems with co2. have you started to get consistent healthy runs with your co2. do you think i should bump up my nutes and if so by how much. I run bio bizz, budswell bat guano , calmag, carbo load in ocean forest dirt

Billy when you switch to CO2 you must make sure you increase all parameters because the plants go into overdrive. Temperature must increase, 29 deg Celsius works for me, thus increased water and nutes are also required as well as higher humidity, if you not already following a VPD chart, Vapor pressure deficit.
