Growing isn't the only thing he doesn't know shit about :wall:

People like him are the reason you have to be careful on sites like these. They may reply to some other threads and give bad advice and a newbie will look at their username and see "well-known member" under it and do whatever said dumb shit is recommending. ALWAYS do your own due diligence!

No one from before 2019 should be considered a well known member imo. Myself included.

So. its like your ac at home works fine but you lose btu's and efficiency with shit windows or no insulation. smaller. For getting correct ppm but ya lose a little.. co2 for me being a refrigeration guy is null at cost $25 20lb. I have it on a scale weighing loss per day of co2. Ill let ya know those #s. What material holds the molecules of co2 the best ? I have that tent wrapped with t-4 duct insulation on the outside with sealed joints.. I might be old but iam a fart smeller... I guess I'll see soon...

In the pic you posted it looks like there is a big hole in the floor. Make sure your tent doesn't have any holes in it and it will be fine. You're also gonna have to close your air intakes and convert your exhaust fan and filter into an air scrubber if you are worried about smell.

But the sensor regulator does?

He's talking about the CO2 molecules themselves. They do what the laws of nature tell them to do.

Sure you are able to keep your CO2 at optimal levels without sealing but the CO2 enriched air will get sucked out of your exhaust or out of the holes in your tent as fresh air moves in. In a sealed grow your regulator will only fire a couple of times per day. Even if that 20lb bottle lasts a full week you're still spending $200 on CO2 for an 8 week strain. Do you really think you'll pull $200 more in yield?

Please tell me you're not actually 30 years old. Education is the key, and from your posts it just shows that we need to spend more money on educating our children.

Not all of us that came to RIU from COVID are bad! I'm only here cause I thought growing would be a fun little hobby during quarantine. Then things got carried away and I ended up spending several thousand bucks building my perfect grow room. Was supposed to be 6 outdoor plants! Thanks RIU.

Ten minutes on RIU today and I've read two threads with fugazi "growers" dispensing shit advice and/or posting lifted pics while asking for help, then arguing with the people trying to provide it. Is it 2010 again, back when people only came here to troll?

LOL. I'm the guy that outed the idiot with the lifted pics. It sucks that there is so much bullshit being posted because this place is an amazing resource for those of us that take this shit seriously.

Weeds not additive, growing is! Not mine but a quote I've learned is quite true.

Anyone else think its funny that he's using co2 with a mars light? That light isn't even strong enough to overpower a plant, I mean maybe if it was a inch over the canopy.. :wall:

You're right. The first reply I made to this thread I told him he needed to increase light intensity but I totally missed that he's running one of those Mars cookie sheet fire hazards.

OP, everyone told me not to run CO2 on my first run but I did anyway. However, I also did research and listened to experienced folks and did everything else I needed to do to take advantage of the benefits. What you're doing is essentially burning money.

I'll need to remember it. Its also not something I mind spending money on. I have a ton of fun with it, its my favorite hobby. People who have other hobbies tend to spend a bunch on whatever it is the enjoy doing. The only difference is my hobby pays me back every 12 weeks or so ;)
