Thanks so much King Avitas. I certainly understand reasoning for supplementing with CO2. The calculation of weight gain , if actually done, seems like a " tall order ". Your visual observations ( the thick canopy....flowering ) are very interesting , I was unaware of those facts. I'm toying with the idea , thanks again for your time !
Thank you very much , great article , I appreciate the information. I got lazy and didn't do my homework.
All CO2 does is speed up finish time by around a week.
I'd beg to differ. If you're in a sealed room, they have no other way of getting CO2. A generator is an excellent piece of equipment to have when you have no fresh air intake/exhaust. It's really your only option. Sure, the initial investment is a good bit of change, but what else are you going to do? Once i got the system in place, it prob costs me less than $80 a year to burn it. My water heater uses more propane than this Ares 8 burner for a 20x30 room.... and, I don't have to do anything. They come out once a year or more and fill up the 500 gallon propane tank. This serves my residence as well for stove, back up heat, water heater.. No lifting bottles, or anything. The most effort I put into it is changing the settings on the Spartan controller.... wears me out.All CO2 does is speed up finish time by around a week.
It's costly also and they produce a shitload of heat
Yea when I was young I went crazy & bought a lot of useless shit & that was one.
Not worth the hassle in my opinion/save the money & buy some good seed/you'd be better off
Stay safe
Yep. This is why I'm following this thread. I don't really care about adding co2, but I'm going to be running a mini split and need to supplement it or my plants will suffer.
Like I said... once you get that initial investment past you... there's nothing to it. I could burn at 1400 ppm at not even notice the difference in my 500 gallon tank. It is literally unnoticeable. It's like 8 tiny blue flames that come on for about 20 min at lights on, and then a 2-3 min burn every hour or so. It's nothing. I have not noticed any heat or humidity issues either. ... maybe it's the space im in, but no major swings. I don't even notice the damn thing even running. In veg, the system will not kick in but maybe 3 times during a light cycle because im in there so much, and expelling 30-50K ppm every time I breath out, I get a waring that the system has not kicked in for 2 or more hours. I just hit the reset, and it re-reads the room. Now, in mid to late flower, it'll kick in like I mentioned above, but early.... hardly any burn every day because the levels are there from me just breathing.
Did it change the temp in the room?
) & I found that the effect/result wasn't worth the heat/hassle/cost. ) & they're finished in 9 weeks which is fine with me
So what do you do in a closed system?Did it change the temp in the room?
It sure affected mine, but my room is only 8'x10' & it increased room temp (2200 wats HPS) by at least 5 degrees, bringing it up from a norm of 85 degrees F to 90 or above.
Someone is going to say don't run it when the lights are on, but that's the time the plants need the CO2 the most.

All I am saying is that the generators get fucking hot (Duh....
I pull around 3.5 zips per plant, always Sativa dom's such as hazes like Super Silver Haze (I love that fucking plant
I tried it & spent a good deal on controllers/fuel/units/time
You want to know where they are now?
In the trash
Stay safe
In his case you supposed to go bottle system with spaghetti tubing. Think he said 8×10.
Ah, I thought he meant Co2 in general.
Ahh… I just assume everybody uses LED these days. I can see where in an 8x10 with HPS would change that game up. I’m running LED’s in a 20x30 with 9 ft ceilings, so yeah, I see your point.Did it change the temp in the room?

I have 4 rooms actually, 1 veg & 3 for bloom & I use in 2 of the rooms LED & my favorite though is the HID room.

Happy Easter!!! (if you give a fuck
