CO₂ SYSTEMS

Importance of CO2 in indoor marijuana crops

Carbon dioxide is essential for the growth of marijuana plants in controlled environments. CO2 is necessary for the process of photosynthesis , which is responsible for converting light into usable energy for plants.

In indoor marijuana crops, where plants cannot obtain CO2 directly from the environment, providing additional doses of CO2 can significantly improve plant growth and development. Furthermore, providing adequate levels of CO2 can optimize the metabolism of plants and allow them to better absorb and assimilate nutrients and vitamins from the substrate.

In short, CO2 is an essential element to ensure successful indoor marijuana cultivation .

Methods of providing CO2 in indoor marijuana crops

There are several ways in which we can contribute CO2 to our indoor marijuana crops. One option is to use cylinders that already contain CO2 inside. However, it is important to note that this option is not necessarily the most professional. Another option is to use CO2 generators that produce CO2 naturally.

These systems provide a more controlled and precise way of delivering CO2 to plants, but require the use of CO2 controllers to measure and control the operation of the generators . CO2 controllers are essential to maintain ideal parameters in indoor marijuana crops.

How CO2 cylinders work in indoor marijuana crops

CO2 cylinders are a system commonly used in indoor marijuana crops to provide CO2 to plants. The system is made up of several key components for its operation : a CO2 cylinder, a pressure reducer for the cylinder, an axidized tube to distribute the CO2 in the room, a CO2 dispenser with a solenoid valve to control the dose of CO2 that comes out. from the cylinder and enters the room, a CO2 controller that controls the PPF in the room and opens or closes the solenoid valve of the dispenser.

In addition, the system can also include a CO2 meter, which allows measuring the PPF in the room and, if it does not have a CO2 controller, allows the cylinder to be manually opened and closed using the pressure reducer. In summary, CO2 cylinders are an essential tool for providing CO2 to indoor marijuana crops and ensuring that plants receive the appropriate amount of CO2 for their growth and development.
