I suppose you could sit it on the floor, but Co2 is heavy and stays on the floor. . . . If your tent has floor vents, that could work! Close them all off except the one vent near the gen. 2ft away of course. The single burner kind shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Im guessn here so if you blow up . . . sorry.

Yeah, would definitely have to figure out a way to get the CO2 up high - perhaps hanging it from the ceiling, and then running some exhaust hose down into the ceiling of my tent and releasing it that way.I suppose you could sit it on the floor, but Co2 is heavy and stays on the floor. . . .

Or perhaps having an inline fan attached to some ducting next to the generator, which turns on and off when the generator turns on and off - would suck up the CO2, and blow it into the tent.
Lotsa options, I've overcome a lot already, not too worried about figuring this out.
Also like that if I want to, can convert it to a natural gas generator and run off of the line through the garage, should refilling propane ever become too much of a pain in the ass (doubtful, but a nice option to have).
Yeah, there's a bunch of threads on RIU about that generator, and not a lot of positive feedback.
The idea's great, but it seems like there's still tons of bugs to overcome (although perhaps the more recent models have overcome those difficulties).
Integra is looking to get one of those, he probably knows more then I do.

Did you watch the video? Very interesting. Very informative about both kinds while running.
EDIT: Found this little nugget of knowledge I thought I would share. If you didn't already know.
The Canadians discovered that adding C02 to plants at the seedling-rooted cutting stage - for about two weeks - produced two benefits: faster early growth and greater final crop yield, even without extra C02 during green growth or crop production! This is useful information for hobby gardeners since a little extra carbon dioxide for rooted cuttings and seedlings can help plants so much. If you use tall, clear covers over your baby plants, release a little C02 under the cover to raise the C02 levels to about 1500 PPM. Remove covers to let in fresh air after a few hours, and be sure plants have only fresh air (no extra C02) during dark periods. The two-week period leading up to transplanting is the most effective time for this C02 technique. If you are already using C02 for other purposes, try treating your 'small fry' with this proven growth and crop stimulator.

Watched the first three minutes of it; if anything, it confirmed my decision - just looking at the pics with the covers off, the number of things that can go wrong with the HydroGen is infinitely larger - the unit that I ordered two minutes ago (yuppers, pulled the trigger) simply had a pilot light - no other issues.
The good thing about seeing that video is that it looks like hanging it shouldn't be that big of an issue, so I could just hang it and have the CO2 "drop" into the top of the tent.
Only other thing I'm unsure about is how the propane tank hooks up, which will determine if I'd be able to mount it (if I'd even need to, really think that a fan on the same circuit as the generator would be able to supply the room perfectly fine - and, as an indirect benefit, would probably help me to keep the CO2 in a closer "band" then simply burning it in a "freebase" method.
I'm stoked, should be here in about a week.

Shouldn't get to hot below it. I'd think sitting on the floor would work fine if you have the clearance side to side and on top. Just blow a fan on it so that it doesn't bother the flame or the lighting of it but keeps the heat moving and I guess you could keep it fairly close to the plants.
Cazador, the generator is going to be in the garage by itself, whereas the plants are in their respective tents, so there will be at a minimum a tent "wall" between the plants and generator.
Not too worried about the heat being produced by it right now, and when I do need to think about it in April through October; well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I was just catching that and now realize.
Congratulations on the purchase. Hope you like it and works out. I'll keep watching.
Also just bought this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=260516978185&view=all&tid=507001473016
Should handle any residual odors that the carbon filter doesn't handle.
Probably done shopping for tonight, but that's never a guarantee with me.

28 right now; shooting to have 25 under each 1K when I expand in a couple of months to an 8x4 tent with two 1Ks.
For my next run, though, thinking I'm gonna go true SOG and have 64 Super Skunk clones in there.
Who the hell knows though..........made some good progress and went shopping today, hopefully will have an update later tonight, but definitely by tomorrow.

So as of right now I only have 6 more than you in mine. Okay. Thanks, I dont want mine getting too damn big...so I think I may be throwing them into flower next week..depending on a couple factors. That's some info for my thread though.
Thanks again man.
I started flowering when the majority of clones were ~12", and I think that's gonna work out to be about the right height with that number of plants.So as of right now I only have 6 more than you in mine.

Probably shoot for ~8" if I do 64 next round.

I was gona try to point that out about the hydrogen. You should also have enough room to put a large res outside of the tent, so you wont have to spend the $$$ to cool it.I would run it that way or drain to waste. And the link posted above is the cheapest place to order it from. Let me know how it works out bob. Still waiting om some money to order mine, but still have every intention of doing so. Grow is looking super sexy, I'd pick up one of those girls on guys night out.
Hey, thanks man
Looks like I probably bought the wrong generator for my needs, but I'll see if I can make it work for me.
Just got done five hours of wrestling with a tent in the garage, have it up on its stand, but that's about it - going to try and finish tomorrow morning.

keeppluging away at it. I feel your pain, over the last couple weeks I have doing the finishing touches on my new veg room, double checking all of my layout and equipment for the flower room changes, and designed and built a 1200w room for a buddy. His shit turned out real pimp. I'll be putting pics of that up soon. Its basically just a larger scale of my setup in a room of normal height. But like I said, frickin sweet. Only one 600w in there now until he gets the hang of taking care of plants. We just droped 4 of my Blue Kush clones in there today.
