A Couple Questions

[fatheadminnow]

I am thinking about doing Co2 injection, even though I have 1.6 WPG, is this still okay for me to inject Co2? I believe I was told on here that it is okay, and that I should do it, I am just making sure. I do have Macro ferts so I will be able to dose accordingly.

Also, can I get Co2 tubing at my local hardware store?

What makes it Co2 tubing?

Thanks!

Light doesnt make a difference, there just becomes a point where it is necassary. Using it with lower light levels often proves better success with plant health, and you should still be able to grow any plant.

"CO2 tubing" or "silicone tubing" is fine. Dont get airline tubing. It should say on the packaging.

Okay, thanks for the reply!

So I should aim for around 30 ppm of Co2 then?

Thanks again!

Yeah, 25ppm as a minimum.

What would a dangerous level of Co2 be?

35ppm is the maximum level reccomended, I have gone to 40ppm before and no adverse affects but the 30ppm is there so it is non-limiting unless you use masses of light!

Okay, thanks!
