Don't mean to be impatient...but I haven't smoked today
Is is possible someone could answer my Q's on CO2 that I posted #4512
Thanks

That's like the one I have with the CO2 controller built in.Thanks mindp....i was thinking more in the way of one of these dodads...http://www.4hydroponics.com/grow_room/capxgc1.asp
pricey but it controlls everything. AM i correct that it monitors the co2 level and dispurses automaticly?
I got one of these- http://www.4hydroponics.com/grow_room/capCO2-4.aspThanks mindp....i was thinking more in the way of one of these dodads...http://www.4hydroponics.com/grow_room/capxgc1.asp

I only recommend a 20gal tanks system. It cost about $17 to fill and lasts 2 weeks. Anything else is not worth your time.Question regarding CO2
I am going to be using the $4 CO2 bottle system to increase the CO2 in the grow room. Running out the top of each bottle I will have a line of plastic aquarium tubing to ensure no 'bubbles' can leak. My question is how best to direct the CO2 to the plants.
I could ..
1. Run the CO2 directly behind a fan directed at the plants? As CO2 is heavier than air the fan should suck in the CO2 and throw it to the leaves.
2. Run the aquarium tubing directly into the neoprene collars? Will the plants benefit more from CO2 at the roots?
Any further idea's or advice?
Here you go Dirt http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=220382259791
Use the instructions here http://www.gardenscure.com/420/construction/103932-diy-wiring-telaire-co2-monitor.html
and you have a good deal on a controller
psst! Scroll down.mindphuk
those are wiring instructions for the PC communicating cable... not going to help.
well shit I stand corrected! Sorry bro!psst! Scroll down.
The hardest thing about this build is finding the power supply. I found a few plugs that work as quick disconnects to make a PPM-1c without needing to pull apart a PC power supply.well shit I stand corrected! Sorry bro!
I still don't understand how running 120v through the teleaire doesn't fry it.... but then again I'm no electrician!
oh.. I see. That's the piggyback cord for the CO2 device. I was concerned how the telaire was powered, but they already come with a 24vdc power supply hahahah
I think it's a great idea! Extension cords work great to cut up--I've rewired a few ballasts with those and it works easier than pulling apart a power supply hahaThe hardest thing about this build is finding the power supply.

Yeah Rep! Wow - looks choice!CO2 has been treating me well! I don't have an environmental controller for my CO2 controller, but I would definitely recommend both.
CO2 in my neck of the woods runs $45 for a 20lb swap!
I heard fire extinguisher places can refill CO2 tanks?
Anyway, this is the first crop that's had CO2 and it's only been 7 weeks--they look more mature than the stuff I harvested at 8 weeks! Pretty much all of the hairs are brown with swollen calyx... very nice!
Oh yeah.. the LED is working alright. Just as I feared--not as much coverage as they boast, but I am impressed with the tight growth and decent bud formation... at least for the plants directly under the light, haha. I sincerely believe if I had 3 more of these all of my worries would be gone. I think it is comparable to a 600w HPS... though keep in mind I wouldn't expect much penetration so you see why I set up the scrog.
Also, it's only been 5 days--maybe a bit less.. 4.5 or so... definitely slow growth for the small plants on the right but healthy and no stretching...
Last post for comparison...
Hey Dirt - were you running your room at 85 during the day before you had CO2? Are overlapping leaves ever moist in the morning? This is a long shot: But when you drop the temp quickly more than 20 degrees - you can sometimes have excessive humidity - water builds up on the leaves and leaches the nitrogen - hence the yellowing color... the leaves dry rather quickly with the lights and fans and AC and get brittle and dry on the edges... If you aren't there right when the lights go on you may miss the excessive moisture on the leaves... Again, a long shot! I've never had one come in - but I keep tryin'! I love to learn the answer to these riddles of nature!yellowing leaves dry and brittle. 5 weeks in flower.
The room environment has been good..under 60% RH
65 deg at night 85deg day...
co2 starvation? my first few harvests were lush and green without co2, but i did have the vent fan on 24/7 before i added the co2. now it just comes on 4 times a day before co2 injection.
fungus?
maybe a deficiency?
or salt buildup?
Im due for a res change....will this help? should i flush before adding nutes?
I have this one - it's cool too!Thanks mindp....i was thinking more in the way of one of these dodads...http://www.4hydroponics.com/grow_room/capxgc1.asp

Yea this is a riddle i would love to figure out.Hey Dirt - were you running your room at 85 during the day before you had CO2? Are overlapping leaves ever moist in the morning?
