I saw CO2 bags for sale on a post here and wondering if any of you use them on an Indoor 4x4 tent grow under HPS? Are there other similar products, other than bottles of gas and timers? Thanks in advance for input.

I'm using the exhale xl in a 4x4 with a cmh and 209 watt led. I can't tell that it helps or hurts, but It could help before the exhaust turns on to bring in fresh air.

I have a half dozen of them in my 4x4. I need that many because my exhaust fan runs 24/7 and some of the CO2 is lost. Even with the loss I still maintain levels above 10,000 ppm and the plants love it. The growth is just amazing with the plants growing 2-3 ft per day and once in flower the buds put on at least an ounce a day in weight. Last harvest I had buds the size of watermelons. I dropped one on my foot and it broke my toe.

If your exhaust is running non stop your not building any extra co2 in the tent.

I had been doing an extreme defoliation of the plants so the door had been open for a few hours which is why this only reads a little over 5000. Once the door is zipped shut the level rises back up to 10,000 ppm in a matter of minutes. With 6 of those bags I'm making massive amounts of CO2. They produce so much CO2 that I'm trying to figure out a way to capture it and sell it for some additional income. :mrgreen:

You and I should have side hustles. You can sell captured CO2 and I am working on a dehydrated water delivery system!
