Yes CO2 does sink, but as the canopy becomes denser, more and more CO2 molecules
remain in the canopy.....also, small oscillating fans pointing upward through the
canopy will improve the CO2 absorption efficiency.....
This method is more of a "micro-injection" technique which delivers more molecules
directly to the stomata rather than the "room-injection" philosophy in which you must
calculate the square feet of your room (or cabinet) and then adjust your CO2 flow
rate accordingly.....buds will literally envelop the tubes and it is indeed a sight to see!!
When i did my initial CO2 training experiments, i found that the flowers really started
to fatten when i added a 150 watt HPS with a square-cube-like reflector....you know,
those old-school industrial HPS security light thingys? Well let me tell ya it worked
awesome and thus began my experiments with "Cola Spotlighting" in which sharply
focused light is shined upon the major bud sites......Using a combination of "Cola
Spotlighting" and "CO2 training", i achieved a cola of 1.5 ounces (42 grams) on a
Chitral plant!!! impressive indeed for a beginner!!!
CO2 is absolutely awesome for the flowering period......some of the older grow books
(ed rosenthal) say that you should turn off your CO2 during your last 2 weeks of
flowering- i'm not sure why- maybe it encourages more leaf matter rather than floral
weight during the last 2 weeks of flowering......so maybe this is why some people
think that CO2 is not good for flowering, they are just remembering this old passage
from Ed's book......i'll try to get more current information about this for us....
