AMA With John Archibald, CEO and Director of CO2 GRO

,

Hi John and Sam,

This is very fascinating already and thank you for taking our questions.

Using your CO2 techniques have you noticed the best results from daily applications/ multiple times per day?

With mold being a concern in the Cannabis Industry is application only recommended during Vegetation Cycles?

Cheers,

Bryan - there are plenty of academic papers on pH levels in the role of pest / disease control.

There is a ratio of NPK/other micronutrients to biomass weight you have to respect if you grow a plant 50% heavier. Generally the nutrient ratio to maintain quality when you grow larger plants faster is 110% of increased expected biomass growth.

Outdoor, 40,000sqft of canopy. I also have about a 0.25 acres of veg that would get treated. DM me an estimate, or add me to your mailing list.

Thanks David! I am always happy to help. ( I also prefer visuals over links. Better for hands on learning and engagement.) :slightly_smiling_face:

Happy chatting and growing!

Bryan I am involved in a trial in Kalamazoo where we tied the co2 system to the existing mist system. We can use co2 infused mist or fresh water mist with a simple valve switch.
Have been rooting garden mums for a large grower, they are very impressed with what they have seen

Yes re more spray applications during plant lighting periods to assemble sugar.

Re mold - apply daytime only. Re plant growth, to maturity you could spray through to bud harvesting on the leaves to maximize sugar delivery to the buds.

Yes. The more automated with remote control of spray frequency the more effective and less manually laborious.

In regards to applying during daytime hours or with the lights on, is there any fear of burning the foliage?

We will use only 50% of the CO2 gassing used today to grow larger cannabis plants faster based on targeted application to leaf surface areas only.

We have proof at St Cloud State where Matt is using both dissolved CO2 spray and gassing of CO2 in a variety grow trials and know the consumption patterns of both. .

None in soluble form.

There is no risk of damaging as we control the dissolved CO2 dosage and application rate.

Vary by species of plant and maturity of the plant. At the very beginning of plant seedling stage would be more frequent with variable CO2 concentrations in the water based on plant maturity. The highest dissolved CO2 concentration will be on juvenile veg state plants.

Have trials for CO2 Gro been conducted on CO2 Infused Root Applications as well and do you see that in the future for the industry?

To the best of my knowledge CO2 can damage roots. It’s oxygen that roots love.
