problems using co2 supplemetation

S

shuswap

okay guys ive been having some issues using co2 in a sealed room and have been fighting it for a year and I just cant win.
2 buddys using same neutrient recipes in sealed rooms and both having great results.

about 2-3 weeks into flower the lower leaves first appear to go very yellow with green viens,problem works its way to the top of the plant and by seven weeks theres not much leaves left,im adding co2 to 900-1000 ppm and temps day 7 night 72 rh is 65 start of flower down to 50 at week 4.

some leaves are getting small rust spots here and there before they dry up and die,i was havng high co2 levels at lights out but have won that issue with veting a minute every hour in the dark and night time levels remain around 6-700 instead of 2000

I have ran carbn monoxide detector in room for 3 days no alarms,there are no leaks on any connections,flame is a perfect blue color when burning

I have ried supplementing more Epsom salts but nothing seems to be working,any ideas?

Very good question!! I'll be firing up my sealed room this weekend feeding H&G as my base as well, in coco DTW.....

I did have 10 PPP seedlings in my basement while I was finishing off the remodel on my room. They were getting feed H&G with some Aptus. I kept some too wet and the roots took forever to fill pots. On those specific ones the bottom leafs went very light yellow, got rust spots and died off. The ones that did have better root growth from the beginning didn't suffer as much. Pictures go from the oldest to the newest

Overkill is under-rated.

Feed more, co2 works plants harder, so they can use more light, food, and water. Feed until you see a touch of tip burn, bring it up 150ppm every 2-3 days

Shuswap,
Inspect your roots with a large low power magnifying glass for Root Aphids. Be quick or they will disappear into the root ball before you get a glimpse. Your symptoms are near classic RA. Good luck. -granger

With CO2, you could raise your temps 6-8F○. The main thing is to follow up on what Hydro said and do a root inspection for Root Aphids. Be quick and use a low power large magnifying glass, or you'll miss them as they will disappear into the root ball/medium. Your symptoms are near text book. Good luck. -granger

Exactly what I was thinking.

Lost 52 mums/dads from those bastards. The images and what I went through are burned into my mind pretty good.
