CARBON DIOXIDE CO2 DEFICIENCY OR EXCESS
CO2 DEFICIENCY:
This type of deficiency is exclusive to indoor cultivation, when growing outdoors the Co2 deficiency does not occur.
Carbon dioxide constitutes one of the 3 basic elements for cultivation (CO2, Lighting, Nutrition) and is necessary for the plant for photosynthesis.
Symptoms:
Leaves falling before their time
Yellowing, general loss of color of the plant
General slowing of development
Solution:
Increase the supply of Co2 in the cultivation chamber with pills or cylinders equipped with regulators.
Increase the air flow of the extractor. By increasing the air flow rate of the extractor, it is possible to change the air in the cultivation chamber a greater number of times, making carbon dioxide naturally available to the plant.
EXCESS CO2:
Even overdosed carbon dioxide does not cause damage to the plant, in fact it is often a vector of rapid development. However, it is always necessary to avoid unjustified excesses, remembering however that the necessary air mixture is never made up of a single element and that in any case during the In the dark, plants breathe oxygen and no longer CO2.
