How important CO2 in Cannabis growing?

If led grow light is the first element of cannabis cultivation, CO2 is the second indispensable factor.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas that fills our atmosphere. It is essential for plants to complete the process of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, plants convert carbon dioxide into energy. If properly introduced, high levels of carbon dioxide in marijuana gardens will lead to increased yields of stronger plants.

Why do cannabis plants need CO 2?

Like all other green plants, marijuana converts light energy into chemical energy through a process called photosynthesis. Chlorophyll containing organelles called chloroplasts convert CO 2, water and minerals into organic compounds rich in the chemical energy plants use to grow.

Fortunately for us, oxygen is a by-product of this process. Plants release CO 2 when they absorb it during the day. Gases are released and absorbed through the stomata of plants, which are tiny openings surrounded by guard cells under leaves.

If cannabis plants do not get enough CO 2, they will continue to grow until their stored sugar is exhausted. Once this happens, their metabolism decreases and they show little sign of growth.

On the other hand, if plants get too much CO2, it will slow down or even stop photosynthesis. The trick is to find the right gas level for the growth space to accelerate photosynthesis and lead to rich growth and increased yield.

The content of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is about 600ppm.

Most marijuana growers agree that increasing carbon dioxide to 1200-2000ppm will significantly increase marijuana production.

Using carbon dioxide in indoor gardens has two main benefits: higher yield and faster growth. Plants have a certain amount of water and energy in their leaves at any time, and carbon dioxide helps release these energy and help plants thrive.
