I don't think his opinion differs from yours on that. What he is saying is that for those who are beginning to grow, its best to just start growing and learn to give it good, basic care, like what you described as giving it water, sun, nutrients, and being patient..... His point is that its best to get a good feel for that before one really focused on maximizing growth and production by focusing on optimizing all aspects of the process. You might have found that you can get good bud with a good general approach like that, but to really reap the most potential, one has to take a specific, detailed, advanced approach to everything. Regulating CO2 levels optimally, providing optimal root temperature/aeration, all kinds of stuff. There's a difference. :wink:

i've heard respiration goes a long ways, a plant, even one with tons of sugar and nitrogen and nutrients, can only grow so much, because apparently a large part of it's growth factor is in respiration.




Yes, respiration is a huge factor in plant growth and productivity of yield. Part of what he's meaning when he mentions the difference is providing the right conditions for something like respiration to occur optimally, so there is nothing but the genetic limitation that the plant would have. The environment needs to be perfect for the plant in every way to achieve that. With something like respiration, as you've brought it up, is that temperature and humidity are things that need to be fine-tuned for respiration - they are forces that work to draw water out of the plant. Thus, once you have these forces in the optimal state for the plant, you'd have to look towards other limiting factors and eliminate them. If more water is being forced to leave the plant through respiration, then the water in the plant that is being released has to come from somewhere. Things like thickness of stem and the healthiness and the expanse of the root system would be factors that could limit respiration from occurring in an optimal manner. The plant acts as a wick that the environment uses to pull moisture through from the soil. Nutrients for the plant to use thus come with the water as well, so the best watering and feeding techniques are a factor that could limit optimal respiration from occurring as well. Any limits on respiration would subsequently limit photosynthesize, limiting the effectiveness of the plant's usage of the light you are providing. Etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. :grin:

Is this what you're referring to with co2 regulation?




Yes, respiration takes in that CO2 for usage in photosynthesis, so, its a factor, like temperature and humidity, that could potentially limit optimal respiration.

Quote:


how do you regulated co2?




The release of CO2 into the air. :wink:

and can you do this outdoors? or does it have to be inside.




It would definitely be easier to control indoors, but it occurs naturally outdoors and the ways this happens could be used to one's advantage outdoors. Choosing the best location would probably be the most effective approach - wind patterns, other vegetation, topography, etc.
