Fast Grow?

After spending some time in S&T,
I stumbled upon this
* They found that in a hyperbaric (pressure) chamber with 2,000 ppm of CO2,
the plants grew five times as fast as those exposed to modern concentrations of CO2.

* Higher levels of oxygen slowed plant growth, but with concentrations of both gases at Cretaceous levels,
plants grew about four times as fast -- and after a month produced three times as much new foliage as plants grown under current conditions.

Would this apply to mj to result in super fast grow times or am I thinking in the clouds
 
Holy shit! 2,000 ppm thats 1/500th of the room! CO2 is pretty intense! I wonder if a human could survive.. I think itd work Anywho but MJ generally needs a dark period to photosynthesize. Faster is not always quality but if you find out it is in this case then more power 2 u.
 
Wow. I had never heard of a concentration that high being used before. People have been using CO2 in agriculture to increase growth speed and yeild for a long time, but damn that's impressive. I guess the plants are capable of getting rid of waste so quickly that they can process food more efficiently.

As for use in cannabis production, I doubt the profit margin is there. Maintaining these conditions even in a small grow box or closet would probably cost too much for the increase in plant performance to be worth it.
