C02

[Mvelardez]

Hi good people. Just curious does anyone want to share their opinion in the diy c02 generators or c02 bags. Are they effective? I have a 4×4 grow tent with 5 lights in it

Those bags are a waste of money. And unless you have everything sealed up Co2 is just going to escape.

I kinda figured my exhaust would remove all the c02 is there any other way 2 effectively add co2 in a tent

Just get a co2 tank with a regulator and a controller set it to 1300ppm. Have your exhaust not constantly on just activated at a certain time.

I don’t use C02 and my plant is wild! Today is week 13 from sprout! She’s 56-58 inches tall and is completely filling up my 4x4. It’s only one plant

I have alot of lights i have my exhaust coming on every 3 minutes for a min and a half to keep it cool would that take out too much co2 for it to be effective ?

Where are you exhausting? My intake comes directly from my apartment. My exhaust also goes directly into the room I’m growing in. I kind of circulate the same air, with the exception of the a/c.

what do you mean you have "a lot" of light

 

[Raquinotj]

what do you mean you have "a lot" of light

Probably means Light intensity, Plants really thrive with the light intensity up to 1500ppfd with CO2.

i have about 1800 watts of led light

What kind of lights do you have? Chances are you're nowhere close to 1800 actual watts.

 

[F80M4]

Post some pics I'll help you out

Watts and PPFD are two different things. What kind of lights you have? Don’t go by Misleading LED company Advertising.

I've got 5 lights 2 say 300 watts they only pull 120 from the wall 1 mars hydro ts 1000 it pulls 150 a viparsoectra that pulls 240 and the cree cob light in the middle pulls 440 which is about 1080 i mis typed the 1800

I do not have a ppfd meter to see what I've got

Why not just buy 1 good light. Instead of these chinesium lights

All those lights don’t amount to a high PPFD at any part of your tent. You’ll get light intensity to flower your plants but you won’t get maximum yield.
