Hope everyone is well.
I read a bit about CO2 supplamentation and how it is a waste without light saturation.
Unless you are pushing up past 900ppfd, or there abouts, then you are wasting money.
That's true enough if you only look at yield.
I remember (misremember?) reading somewhere that when using CO2 you can run plants up to 90°f.
The higher the temp the more efficient light is, and also nutrients are more available, so you can dilute your fertigation, running a garden at 90° is more efficient than 80°.
Where I live the garden goes above 80° for almost half the year, even running lights only at night.
I need to use electricity to control my temps and bring them down to <85°.
If I can run the garden at 90°, with CO2, I have a lower power bill ( gunja is ilegal to grow here, so total power use is a security concern )
Does anyone know much about how CO2 supplamentation effects environmental requirements of the gunj?
Will running a garden above 30°c increase the risk of slimy ( Botrytis ) mould?
Thanks.
