CO2 Bag Location

[Billy the Mountain]

My tent is in a sealed room my 5x5 tent is in a 12x15 sealed room but was given the thing for free so can’t hurt and only one way to see how it does

I have a similar layout: a tent inside a "sealed" room. I tinkered w/ yeast & sugar and citric acid/baking soda generation before buying a tank.
I have a co2 sensor, and while these improvised methods worked well, it's a lot more maintenance and not much cheaper than a tank.

You really need a way to measure the co2 level inside the tent; its the only way to determine if the bags are worthwhile.

So how big is the area you have your tent in? That’s what I planned on trying if I did actually try to get co2 to the plants this was just given to me to “try” So don’t think it would hurt

lol. the co2 controller does, yes. confused about something?

I’m curious to know what the sustained co2 levels are with/without the tank running and you only run it at night yeah?

My tents are in a small room/large closet which is in a basement.

That’s basically how mine is the area is almost 3x the space so I’m venting the heat out into the same area so it works for you a tank that is ?

Tank works like a charm:

WOW wasn’t expecting so many people to be offended…

Most aren’t here to answer questions but rather need to compensate for feelings of inadequacy. There are answers in between all the remarks posted by petulant children. Lol…

Exactly and it’s a shame because most people that have questions won’t even ask because they read a post like this and decide not to even try witch actually hurts the site we need more people to join not avoid but to each their own I guess it doesn’t bother me but I know it turns new people away

*Looks back at this thread filled with professional growers and long time hobbyists who are providing actual information instead of being yes men*

This post hurts to read. Punctuation matters.

CO2 is heavier than air. Hanging your little mushroom bag above the light won't be a problem. That said, a single CO2 bag in a tent will make almost as much of a difference as calling you out for lack of punctuation--aka, pretty much none. Adding CO2 is something that's a wasted expense until everything else is perfect--watering, temp/humidity/VPD, lighting, feeding, etc.

Tank works like a charm:

What's your usage rate on co2 per month and what size tanks?
Just curious, you actually have tracking data there, PPM looks good.

20lb tank
Roughly 2 months per tank

That's really reasonable usage rate and easy to handle cylinder size, thought it would be much higher.

It helps immensely to be able to vent the tents into the small room rather than out of the room into the larger basement (which I must do when it gets warmer).

Some will give you shot especially if it's said that this or that isn't right or doesn't work or whatever and when given an answer they don't like and argue. After that happens the the cannashit hits the fan.

Most just realize they shouldn't have such thin skin and carry on and ask. Others get butthurt and cry about it.

BTW
Just to give you shit

You were looking for which. Which would been better for the reader lmao.

Is there a specific number of “why are my leaves dying” post we need to answer before we can expect new members to use the search function?

not sure what you mean by "run it at night". we dont need co2 during lights off.

in the tent, co2 level is ~400 if im not in the room and will go up to ~800 if im in there for an hour or longer. 12x12 room.

 

[Gregshed]

I did give you advice - become amazing at growing, get plants were jealous of and then and only then use co2. Before that point your just wasting money and time, it's not something that's going to do anything until your pushing to perfection since the leaves get more than enough co2 from the atmosphere.



Your not taking that advice, you still want to run co2 and your plants just aren't good enough to accept the extra and give back the extra growth. Too many try to use pro methods when they are not yet good enough.

Argue all you want, the advice was there but you just cannot accept it and want to run co2 so we kind of excluded you from the conversation which is what the site is for and not your own personal control issues.

Now please don't reply and we won't need to ever talk about it again!

load of crap again- wish people would use the search function ---- co2 do not work in passive environment, if it did you would see greenhouses full of it - absolute crap - people need to research themselves and stop arguing with people who try to help - its like dealing with a bunch of school girls sometimes
