just wondering what the optimal temps and the best techniques are for using co2, i have been filling the sealed room with 1500ppms every 2 hours with no exhaust and an air conditioner runnin every 30 mins for 30 mins to keep temps between 83-93...is this a good technique...also should i only be running co2 during light on or is it alright to use it at all times...and i have my clones in the same room as the cos right now...is this alright???

you want to keep the air at 1500ppm at all times the best you can for as long as you can the longer the better if you can keep the temps and humidity down. whats the ppm after 1 hour?

co2 only helps when the light is on. Not sure on the co2 filling but I bet your close. The plants will be ok with your temps shoot for under 90. I would get the clones out and to lower temps but thats just me. I go just like seedlings 75 deg. 40% humidity. What type of light are you using?

right now i have the 3 mums that are like 4 months in veg and 16 plants in veg in a table under 1k..im going to be adding another 1800k as soon as clones are ready but i do have a portable air con to keep temps alright....the main temp in the room is under 90 but if i put the thermo by the plants right under the light im getting 90-95ish....i can turn the air con on colder and when 12 start ill have the air con on the whole time to regulate..it has a thermo so it will turn off and on when needed and it also has a built in timer that has it going of and on 30 mins at a time...so just before it kiks on again it gets hot again...im not going to use the co2 anymore until the clones are ready as i have some renovations being done and no rroom in the rest of the house...as soon as the clones are ready to go in im going on 12 12 or maybe abit before to have some a few weeks apart....im going to try to do a sog perpetual grow...but right now im trying to cram as much as possible!!!
