So i have been planning this grow for a few months and almost have all my equipment. Im planning on running four hydrofarms in flower with 1.5x3ft screens at a time in a 4'x8' tent with 2 a/c 600s on a closed circuit, 20lb tank and regulator, and a 9k Btu a/c to cool the room. veg will b t5's in a 4x4 tent.
Im plannin on rotating plants every two weeks(2 in veg and 4 in flower at any time), but i was wondering tht in the last two weeks of a plants life i have read tht dropping the co2 levels is a must to help a plant finish the growing process, so if i plan on running my setup this way am i going to need another third tent for the final two weeks of grow or what? this is my first perpetual and forst attempt at cge so any ideas or suggestions would b awesome

I have a very similar setup as you. 2x600's in 4x8 tent. Veg tent is 4x4. This is my first real grow so i cant really comment, but willnbe interested to hear wht others say.

I can keep the temps in my 4x8 tent around 79f without ac. What does your temp get to without the ac?

The plant stops to grow when you drop the Nitrogen levels down to zero not CO2 which would be stressing the plant if done. I would see the need for less flush time like just 7 to 4 days to allow the plant to finish the existing flowers in the same time rate. After all it's now proved that flushing times don't impact taste nor potency while ripeness infact does. This was my conclusion and I'm just starting a similar perpetual setup...so, subscribed for the answer too in case this is wrong

i havent set up everything yet im waiting to move to a new place in a month so im not sure where the a/c will b set at. Thnx Masp tht makes a more sense, i have also found a few posts saying tht with good genetics there is no need to drop co2 to help plants finish but hav read tht it helps
