Of course growers of cannabis indoors don't use the generator to heat their grow room. But the heat is an unwelcome side effect of a CO2 generator that runs on gas.
The lights we use (especially HPS) already generate so much heat that we are not happy with this extra heat.
That is why some people use the well known CO2 cylinders to prevent that extra creating of heat.
But gas is often cheaper and easier, especially if you have a large growing room. So then a CO2 generator that runs on gas is a better choice.
To beat the heat, people who use these gas run CO2 generators when growing cannabis, often have some kind of AC to control the heat.
In a commercial greenhouse they have to use heaters, otherwise in wintertime the temperature will be too low inside.
They only have sunlight (with sometimes some additional electrical light) and that is not enough to heat these enormous spaces.
So they heat this space by burning gasses. If you burn a gas like propane or butane or a mix, only CO2 and H2O are formed. Nothing else.
So it is not at all like the gas that is leaving the exhaust pipe of a car. Ridiculous thought.
(except if you don't burn propane or butane properly. Then you have the risk of getting carbon monoxide)
I am aware that not all people know this. (or care )
But what keeps surprising me is that people don't make the slightest effort to research things themselves. The knowledge and the science behind it, is easily available for everyone, but nevertheless people continue to utter the utmost nonsense.
A bit similar to flat earthers.
You can give them facts, but facts are meaningless to them.
