Carbon Dioxide (C0 2) Enrichment Cannabis can use more CO 2 than the 0.04 percent (400 ppm) that naturally occurs in the air. By enriching the amount of CO 2 to 0.12-0.15 percent (1200-1500 ppm), plants can grow up to 30 percent faster, providing that genetics,light, water, and nutrients are not limiting. CO 2 levels above 5000 ppm are not advised for people. With CO 2, plants use nutrients, water, and space at a faster rate. A higher temperature, from 75째-S0oP (24째-27째C) will help stimulate more rapid metabolism.

COl level can be measured with inexpensive disposable tests and more expensive infrared monitoring systems. COl levels can also be controlled with an electronic device.
