Co2 is easy work with as long as you make a full investment like AC ( mini split or central ), Co2 monitor & a sealed room.. My set up was literally plug and play. I bought my controller and regulator and just hooked it up and plugged it in and set it for 1500 PPMs, yes it was that easy.
Yesterday
older...just what i got going now 400w a few T8s that were just collecting dust, got a 160CFM venting the top of the tent and PC fan bringing air in..got a room to move my next grow into though
You can seal the door with weather stripping where are you pulling the air to cool the lights? You using air from the grow room itself to vent the hoods??? You would need to pull cool air from another room. I pretty much have the same set up you want. I use a spare bedroom I converted into my grow room and I use two 1000W HPS and co2, I really dont notice faster finishing times or increased yields but I do notice my buds get super frosty with co2. I dont exhaust because the spare bedroom has central AC, the plants munch on the co2 and make fresh oxygen and my scrubber running 24/7 scrubs whatever stale air is present.
I use a 8'' 675 CFM max fan to cool my two 1000W HPS works great, sounds like you know what you need/want.. Good luck my dude.
ya im looking to just do better than i am now..the frostier the better! thanks man
I would buy light well before i even thought of adding c02, you'll get way more production for your dollar. I bought a c02 ppm meter once, i was shocked to see my ambient c02 level in my grow room was 750ppm without me adding a thing.
What you're describing will create a negative vacuum in your grow space, which is exactly what you want IMO, except i would suck air through a Can carbon filter first, then route it to the attic. I use to just blow the air into the attic too, and i'm on the 2nd floor of my apartment, so basically it was going 3 stories high, i figured no one would smell it, till one day i saw a security guard for my complex outside sniffing and looking around to try and determine where it was coming from. I'm legal but still no one needs to know ya know. If you're upgrading, light and real carbon filter from Can are IMO the best investments you can make.
Hey Einstien, ambient is 350 and plants use co2. Did you ever consider your meter was off. I only mention this after the "Schooling" you gave me about physics, the fact that co2 is heavier than air etc.... Co2 meters are very fragile and will drift even when not used. Auto background calibration isn't advised in a growroom. Growers who pay attention to details and use Co2 properly will keep their instuments calibrated with nitrogen gas or a custom blend of nitorgen and Co2 that is 350 ppm.
I agree, this guy just grinds my gears after some nice dialog in another thread, I though he might benefit from a taste of his own brand of medicine. But BS is BS you're right there.
