CO2BAG – Effective CO₂ Supply for Plants
CO2BAG is a simple and efficient way to provide plants with additional carbon dioxide. CO₂ supports plant growth and promotes fruit ripening. It can also positively influence flavour, colour and yield.
Carbon dioxide is an essential component of photosynthesis. An adequate CO₂ supply supports the natural development of plants. CO2BAG is based on a proven formula and is easy to use.
Benefits
- Cost-effective CO₂ supply
- Can improve flavour, colour and yield
- Compact and efficient solution
- Easy to use with no regular maintenance required
- Safe when used as directed
Application and Placement
Use the CO₂ bag approximately two to three weeks after sowing. Make three to six holes in the top of the bag and hang it above the plants. In larger rooms, even distribution along the walls is recommended.
The CO₂ bag only produces carbon dioxide at temperatures above 18 °C. Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry place below 18 °C.
Duration of Use
CO₂ production begins as soon as the bag comes into contact with oxygen. It may take several days for the process to become fully active. Depending on ventilation and environmental conditions, one bag can cover an area of approximately 5 m² and produce CO₂ for one to three months.
Optimal Conditions
Additional CO₂ may increase the plants' water and nutrient requirements. Temperature and lighting conditions also influence its effectiveness. Adjust the growing environment accordingly.
Instructions
- Store the CO₂ diffuser in a cool, dry place below +18 °C (64 °F).
- Shake and squeeze the diffuser before use.
- Use a pencil to make three to six holes in the top of the diffuser. Once the powder level drops, make another two to four holes closer to the powder. Always wear protective gloves.
- Hang the diffuser above the plants, but not directly over them. Ideally, place it near the air intake and ensure that the ventilation system does not immediately remove all the CO₂ from the room.
- After making the holes, it may take one to three days for the diffuser to start producing CO₂. Allow sufficient time before checking the ppm level.
- If excessive humidity or condensation occurs inside the diffuser, make two to three small holes in the bottom with a needle to allow moisture to drain. Collect the liquid in a suitable container.
- If the powder level does not change within one to three weeks, the diffuser may be too dry. Cut a slit approximately 2.5 cm long in the top and gradually add clean water in 1 ml increments, up to a maximum of 10 ml.
- A relative humidity level between 45% and 70% is recommended.
- The diffuser slowly starts producing CO₂ at temperatures above 20 °C. However, a temperature range of 25 °C to 30 °C is recommended.
- Depending on ventilation, temperature, humidity and the number of holes, the diffuser can produce CO₂ for approximately one to three months.
- Recommended room size: from 5 m².
