Why is Co2 so important for plants?<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n Plants use CO\u2082 together with light to generate energy. Without sufficient CO\u2082, plants cannot reach their full growth potential, even with optimal light and good fertilisation. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

CO\u2082 bags or CO\u2082 bottle - which is better?<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n CO\u2082 bags are ideal for small to medium-sized grow boxes: simple, safe and maintenance-free.\nCO\u2082 bottles are suitable for large, professional setups with precise control, but are more expensive and complex. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

How much CO\u2082 is optimal for indoor growing?<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n

Indoor growing depends on many factors: Light, temperature, humidity - and last but not least CO\u2082<\/strong>. Although it is often overlooked Carbon dioxide<\/strong> plays a central role in the growth of your plants. Run plants Photosynthesis<\/strong> - They absorb CO\u2082 from the air and convert it into oxygen with the help of light. This process is the basis for growth, flower formation and yield. The more CO\u2082 is available, the more efficiently the plant can grow.<\/p>

In nature, the CO\u2082 content in the air is around 400 ppm (parts per million). In closed grow boxes, this value can drop quickly - especially at night or with insufficient ventilation. As a result, growth slows down even though there is enough light and nutrients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
