I often read that you should start adding CO2 two hours before the lighting comes on.
This has something to do with the carbonates that must first be saturated.
my comment/questions:
A: You can simply open the CO2 tap a little further. Then you will reach the desired ppm faster, right?
B: if you use RO water you don't need 2 hours. After all, there are no carbonates to bond to?
C: If you use a soil (i.e. pH-lowering) you will reach the desired ppm CO2 much sooner, right?
Why then is the 2 hour rule adhered to?
