Many experts mean that the increasing level of atmospheric carbon dioxide will lead to an increase of plant pulp, and that this would be completely positive for the growth. I.e. growing a giant pumpkin solely with the help of an increased level of carbondioxide; will it be just as strong and sustainable, and un-crackable? (Cracking is a common problem when growing giant pumpkins.)

I forgot, or crack the pumpkins more easily?

I considered enhancing my pumpkin plant with atmospheric CO2 but in my opinion the only way to accomplish this is with a greenhouse and air conditioning. I've tested a hoop house design for enriched atmospheric CO2 but found that during the daylight hours there is just too much venting required to maintain enriched CO2 levels. I think using Lithovit may be the closest we'll get to reaping increased CO2 benefits unless you have a greenhouse.
