i am groing 6 plants right now in my hydroponic setup. Im only about half a week into the grow. Do I really need a Co2 setup? If so do I need it now? During what stage of growth is it most benificial?

Plants will not be able to take advantage of added CO2 in small gardens it does help although with large numbers and very high lumens. If your using 1000 watts or more you can benefit from added CO2. I have used it off and on over the years in small cabinets and have seen absolutely no increase in yields and a decrease in my wallets weight, save your money and put it into quality nutes as well as as much light as you can get without overheating your ladies.

if you want to run CO2 in a small space without buying a tank and actuator, just take an old 2 liter pop bottle and fill it with equal ammounts of 110 degree water and sugar. Pop in a packet of yeast and put the cap on. Drill a couple of straw sized holes in the cap and insert staws. Bendy ones work better as you can aim them under your plants foliage.
