co2 wasted through air intake only??

hey there,

my babies have been firing away for the last month, their growth has been severely stunted through over heating and lack of ventilation..

their growing in a toilet. I'm going to start using a co2 tank. it seems obvious that co2 is wasted through having an exauhst fan.. but i wish to only have an intake to cool the air as my temps have ben reaching 95 degrees!:fire:

having just an intake in what is already a pretty sealed room, wouldn't waste the precious co2, would it?

Air cool your lights if you're using CO2. Buy a cool tube or air tight hood. Cooling them should drop temps by at least 10 degrees. Otherwise you'll have to buy a ductless AC unit.

buy a co2 ppm censor and have the exhaust fan on low. I have a 5 by 10 tent, with 2 1000 lights air cooled and the exhaust fan is on low, still having a negative pressure, and a 20lb co2 tanks lasts me a week when flowering. I have a few and just cycle through them and its like 15 bucks to fill. Get teh sensor though otherwise your just guessing, and also having the co2 constantly on is a waste unless you have a sealed room, and the means to keep the proper conditions. WIth my set up my room is right at 80

I have a sensor made by cap. its like 250 bucks, but it keeps the co2 levels at 1450, and turns it back on when it drops, and turns it offf when it reaches the 1450
