I think most of us consider using CO2 to be similar to athletes using performance enhancing drugs. I know I did, until I started to think about the fact that CO2 is one of the basic required elements for photosynthesis & that every plant already uses it…plants just need more CO2 to grow at “ideal” levels. There are rules which ban PED’s in sports; there are not rules in growing giant vegetables which ban CO2 supplementation. Our society has conditioned us to believe that using things which give its user a competitive edge is cheating. As pumpkin growers we use mycorrhizae, fertilizers, biostimulants, biologicals, & everything else that can help give us an advantage!
