I am new to this and I have a 8x8 with only one 600 watt mh with a adjustable wing. I have a inline fan sucking air out the room. plants are still in veg and are under 24 hr lighting. I am using fox farm soil and nutes. The level of c02 rises in the house to about 2900 until i open windows and let fresh air in and stale air out. Is there a better way to control this? what am i going to do when it wreaks and i have to open windows and doors to vent. i have a can filter which i going to build a box around it and add another extractor to the box to vent out. all suggestions would help alot. i have a 8x8 like I said how many lights can i put there? how many plants can i grow in there without having them bunched up together. i got a friend that has 16 plants with a 1000 watt light on EACH of them therefore he has 16 1000w lights running. He is yeilding about 700 grams each crop of EACH plant. all suggestions and help or even your opinions lol. I just want to make the best quality buds HELP

thanks gd. i am using a large tank with a reg. as well but no timer. i have it at 1500 all day with a computer
ys when it comes to so many plants crowded up is a waste of time. in a 8x8 i beleive you should have a max of 12 girls ( giants) and you will prob. get more out of those 12 then 20 of them packed together

youll need some sort of intake, the co2 in the room will run out quickly, u could vent with windows like you said but wen they smelly girls u dont want that gettin out.
get you other extract fan and use is as as an intake till u get ur tank refilled.

u say the ppm of co2 reaches 2900, iread on another thread that once your twice over the optomum ppm for co2 your startin to kill them, 1500 is spot on.

Nope not bad for them, no neg effects... just that the growth will slow for the weekend.

Met this guy at the THC Expo out here in Cali a few weeks back. For ease of use and disposable without the headaches of tanks, burners, etc.. you might want to try it out. The bags are fairly cheap and you get the same results minus the cost.
