CO2 enrichment used correctly: 1200–1500 ppm boosts photosynthesis by 20–40%. Only effective in closed systems — via CO2 bottle, generator or fermentation.
CO2 enrichment to 1200-1500 ppm increases photosynthesis by 20-40%. Only useful in a closed system. Methods: CO2 bottles with regulator, CO2 generators, fermentation. Timing: Only in light, not in the dark phase. Elevated temperatures (28-30°C) tolerable during CO2 enrichment. Stop ventilation during CO2 addition.
CO2 can be added using CO2 cylinders, generators, or through fermentation in a closed system. Be sure to maintain a concentration between 1,200 and 1,500 ppm.
Increased CO2 levels can boost photosynthesis by 20–40%, leading to faster growth and higher yields, as long as there is sufficient light and nutrients.
No, CO2 enrichment is only effective in closed systems, since the CO2 concentration outdoors cannot be controlled and natural air circulation occurs.
