co2 Help

CO2 took me from 12oz. to 16oz. per harvest.

I tried using a timer and test syringe but you can only keepit perfect for a few minutes.

I just bought a complete greenhouse controller with CO2 monitor/controller on Fleabay for $450. It is $1100 new. It controls everything, even hydro.

I run my CO2 @ 1500PPM.

I use a portable A/C unit during the Dog Days of Summer but take it out for the rest of the year. I keep my room at 85 during lights on. This time of year temps are not a problem. I also run my lights at night to help keep temps down.

I have my controller set to 60% humidity. I only vent for humidity (not temp) into the attic with a 200CFM fan.

My two 1000W HPS are sealed and vented with a 440CFM fan. I draw the air from a different room and vent into the attic. I keep my ballasts outside my room.

Check Craig's list and Fleabay for a good deal on a controller. A cheap timer will do until you can find a good deal.

Little sketched out about ordering stuff off ebay. My local store has a controller for $600.
I always try to buy locally if I can. By all means by the controller from your local store. Chances are they have a family to feed just like you.

Some high price items are hard to find at a small hydro shop and you may have no choice but to go online.

Sometimes you can find really good deals on Craig's list and Fleabay.

Nutrients and electricity are your biggest expense in the long run anyway.

need to leave town for a few days. appears I can't get the c02 in there until the end of the next week. By then I will be over two weeks into flowering, and my strain is apparently an 8 weeker.

Is it still well worth it to add the c02? Don't you cut c02 injections off with 1.5-2 weeks to go?
