CO2 enriched room by dumb luck...

[warfish]

I have been trying to figure out why the growth in one room is soo much more acellerated from the other area I grow in. The temps are fairly similar and the lumen output is about the same per square foot. Then it hit me that my main room is actually a slightly CO2 enriched room. I am pulling air from the floor of a room with 2 natural gas appliances burning in it and the CO2 is heavier than air so it drops to where I pull air from.
I wish I had a meter so that I might be able to confirm this in some manner, although I did do some research on the topic and it looks to be actually what is happening.
Any thoughts or comments on the matter are welcome

What are your temps?

. Studies have shown optimal growth and yields at 90-95°F, 1,500 ppm CO2, 45-50% relative humidity, 7,500-10,000 lumens/square foot of light, and vigorous air movement both above and below the canopy. CO2 enrichment under 80°F, under 7500 lumens/sf, or above 50% humidity is not recommended because plants will not be conducting photosynthesis quickly enough to benefit from the enrichment.

Sorry, but I don't think so. CO2 enhancement only works if other criteria are met and if CO2 is administered in concentrated doses. Whatever may be making your plants grow better, it is almost certainly not that they are getting extra CO2 from your gas appliances. Well at least, I hope not. If your gas appliances are expelling enough CO2 to be useful to your plants, your life could be in danger.

THG,
While I totally do believe you I thought I would post up the article I read on it just so you didnt think I was just high in the night with this thought hxxp://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/1804.html the info pertaining to me is at the bottom of that page.

pcduck,
Almost none of that criteria is met here, lol. I am at 77-81 on temps, about 5,500 lumens per sq ft, and a humidity of 35-44%. The one thing I am doing in that list is the vigorous air movement. I have one large fan that moves the air from the top of room to bottom in a circular motion around room and then a large oscilatting fan across the tops as well. Maybe it is the excess air movement that is making things go so well in there.

I give my plants 2000 ppm's for an hour straight before the lights turn on, and once again in mid day.

Kills all the bugs and I can barely keep my plants fed.
