First of all adding CO2 ian’t necessary. It is definately a plus and can radically improve yield. That being said; To introduce CO2 you better have your environment dialed in. High levels of CO2 increase the need for everything else. More water, more nutes, more light etc. The ambient CO2 is around 400PPM, I also live in my lung room (*bedroom), and just by being in there my CO2 levels go up between 600 to 700PPM. I’m completely satisfied with my results. I focus my attention on quality over quantity. I struggle now keeping my environment dialed, and see no need to complicate my SOP.

I live in a red state. I also live in an elderly/disabled community. Smell is NOT an option! I have a 2×4 tent with a 6″ AC Infinity carbon filter. I have no smell until I open my tent. I only open my tent after lighting an incense cone, in the wee hours of the morning after the dankness pops up. Also it helps to limit volatilization by keeping your grow as cool as possible, around 70 or less.

I have a y pipe and dampner on my ac infinity 6″ inline fan. Carbon filter one way open pipe on the other. I only use the carbon filter when the smell kicks in. I take an old panty hose and put it over the unfiltered pipe. When in the seedling stage the high humidity that is needed actually degrades your carbon filter. I never run my filter over 60% humidity. In flower I stay around 50%.

One ur light is old technollogy. Blurple lights are outdated. That being said, 600 PPFD is fine for veg. I run about 300 PPFD during the seedling stage around 600 during veg. When it comes to flower I get as close to 1000 PPFDas I can without burning them. Make sure you keep DLI in mind. I try for an average of 30 to 40 mol. 70 mol can be reached at bright summer days at some locations. If ur hitting these limits better have your environment dialed in.

I run a 6inch carbon filter in my 2×4. Eliminates most of the smell; Until that tent is opened. Thenh the danknest comes pouring out. I only open my tent very early in the morning and burn an incense cone LOL. In the seedling stage the filter is not necessary. In fact I have a dampner and y pipe to bypass the filter. The high humidity required for young plants can damage or reduce the lifespan of you carbon filter. When my carbon filter is employed I don’t let my humidity go above 60%, 50% is preferable. I have used my 6″ AC Infinity filkter with replaceanle charchol for 4 runs and it still works great. I haven’t replaced the charchol yet.

Only real way is to scope ur trikes. Gotta be milky, and amber is according to preference. To much amber…couch lock. No amber…jittery. Also depends on strain, and/or cultivare.

Don’t like the looks of ur soil. Looks aweful chunky. I would try heat stress, or wind stress. There are so many reasons. If u think ur nutrient uptake is good, and ur watering is on point heat, wind, humidity is what I’d focus on.

First the hairs will darken, plant starts to fade, clear trikes get cloudy. Check with a scope. Look for a small amount of amber for more relaxing smoke. Mostly clouldy less amber makes for a more creative high.

I run my Ac 6 inch inline fan at the top of my tent. It runs constantly at speed 1 exhausting old air pulling in fresh air at the bottom intake screen. During the seedling stage my humidity is high (between 75 and 90%). During this time I bypass my carbon filter as high humidity degrades the charchol and reduces the life of your filter. During veg I run my humidity parameters to come on at 60% at speed level 3. During flower I reduce my humidity to 50%. Same speed. My carbon filter is only used when smelly and mever above 60% humidity preferably 50%. MY fan also ramps up at a temp over 82f same setting of 3 during veg…85f during flower. My lung room is my bedroom so between 600 and 700 ppm of co2 is also a win win.

I run my lights at night and my temps get around 83 with my lung room at 72. fan never stops at level 1. but ramps up to level 3 at 83f. During lights out my nighttime (Really daytime) temps drop to around 74.

My lung room is my bedroom, so CO2 naturally goes up when I sleep to around 600PPM to 700PPM. CO2 settles to my floor and gets sucked in through the bottom screen on my tent. Win win!

Just saw you are in the desert; You need the big one.

The 4.9 lasts me about 4 days to a week, but I live in the Smoky mountains. Close to BC’s environment where Dude lives. Lots of humidity. I’d say if you live near Scotty get the bigger unit, as Colorado is pretty dry. It all depends on ur enviroment my friend.

Root development is your inital goal. I grow in a 2×4 vivosun tent with 2 p1500 lights. I start my lights at 100 % even threw germination. . My PPFD is about 300 at 32inches from the leafs surface. I leave my light full power all the way through. By the end I’m around 1100 PPFD.Check out this sight and see if anything applies to your grow. https://www.growweedeasy.com/why-cannabis-plants-growing-slow

Microbes alone should not cause leaf curl. There can bhe several reasons…Cannabis leaves curling up can be caused by several factors¹²³⁴:

• Nutrient deficiency (incorrect pH, bad nutrients)
• Light stress (light too close)
• Heat stress (too hot)
• Watering or root problem
• Cold shock
• Bugs (especially if there’s a lot of them)
• Excessive nitrogen-rich vegetative growth base nutrients
• Overdoing phosphorus and potassium during flowering
