Hey man, I did it the cheap way, take a 2 liter and mix in some yeast and sugar, add some tubing and there it is. Real cheap to make, I noticed a big difference. you can see the tubing setup between the buckets. and its just connected to a 2 liter bottle which i shake every other day

controler, co2 bottle, regulator. in saying that your room should be eqiped with an a/c, dehumidifier, and a carbon filter scrubbing system or a burping style carbon exaust.

I run a 2 litre bottle and mix 1 cup of table sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of yeast in warm water. Add a squiggley fermentor gas release thingy you buy at the wine making store and wella a co2 generator for 3 days or so.......

yes they cost a little, but u need one. youll have the best room around. for sure. craigslist might have something. i think u need the chhc4 from sentenial. or maybe something less might work.
u just want an automatic shut off of co2 when u have the amount of co2 u want, and a meeter showing u ppm.
how many lights do u want to run?

hey if you had a room thats completely air tight could you put a plant in there with a co2 hose hooked up and an oxygen tube so you can add how much is needed, doesnt matter how big, could a plant live. you wouldnt have to use alot of oxygen cause the plant would produce it from the co2. am i getting that right?

I never saw benefit from co2 in "small" space....really need to have temp and humidity controls dead nuts before ya can benefit from the co2. I rtied everthing when I was using a tent...and not until I built a room, with a sealed environment, a/c, humidity control,

please tell me how

cuz im pretty sure the op wants to put a nice top notch co2 unit in his room. he wants the best grow room ever.
im not even sure what u meant when u said it. the hose coming in from tank made sence,but the part with the plant i didnt understand.
please stop getting upset and angry with me. i luv u. and im trying to help the op.

please tell me how

It would add co2...but with no control...ya have to keep the ppm of co2 constant to work

and remember, co2 in large enough quantities will leave you dead.

your reading alittle too much into it. basically its a box with an co2 and air hose so the plant doesnt keel over. i want to try it to see if it works.
