explain to me how to run co2

ok need some advice on adding co2 from bottle help would be brilliant my room is 2.2high 10ft wide and 11ft long, it was previously ran without co2 how do i convert it to include co2 CORRECTLY AND SAFELY? also do i have to have air cooled hoods ie cooltubes ect or is that none essentail got co2 bottle and release system it sets to the size of my room which is 21cubic feet but i havent used it yet waitin on some expert advice first hurry help guys

come on is any1 in the know some1 must be able to help

cool tubes etc aint necessary, those are to keep temps down and allow plants closer to the light.

Its pretty simple, if you have the whole co2 setup, just rig it so it feeds into the room, yu dont need to go full on with it, just a nice steady release, try n aim the co2 flow toward s the plants, so it doesnt just get sucked out of the exhaust
Make sure the bottle isnt near anything that get s hot/warm,
also ensure its not running when the lights are off, plants revert to absorbing oxygen during night.

thanks for that i understand also how should i time exhaust should i, 1 use my 12 inch to come on and off in this sort of time schedual untill lights go off i was thinking of say running exhaust for 10 mins then inject and stand for 30mins exhaust for 10min inject for 30min exhaust for 10min and so on until lights out that then gives a litle standing time for the leaves to take that shit i got some smaller exhausts aswell i wonder thanks for reply

yeah that sorta thing,
someone posted their co2 regime recently, i'll see if i can find it

thought that would be the sort of thing to do is there any sort of measurment device just like ude get on a digit temp and hum thermometer ive looked and all i can find are the expensive ones that hook up to the co2 to keep the room maintaining 1300-1500ppm must be a cheap handheld 1 out there of some sort
a regime would be appreciated if you could post 1

lol... don't want to sound like a complete nOOb but, how the hell do you buy the Co2 to fill an empty tank you have? Most Co2 suppliers sell only to retail from what I find on line?

lol... I work at McDonalds (no joke.. hey it pays the bills and buys the ). was Thinking I should wait for the Co2 truck guy to show up in the morning to fill our Co2 tank for our Soda machine. Ask him and see if I can get my tank filled for a few bucks.

dont get all crazy askin the pepsi man for co2 thats something that will get u into trouble. some hardware stores that do paintball will fill it up, but u have to be carefull and dont go every 2 days to get ur fill. find multiple stores and visit a different one each time to stay under the radar

You can get some CO2 from paintball fields. It's usually pretty cheap - a few bucks for 20oz or so.

Although if I was the CO2 delivery guy, I'd hook you up for free (since its for a good cause ).

The cheapest though would be to mix some yeast and sugar water in a bucket and let it ferment for a while. This is not usually a popular option, but if you like to brew wine or beer (like I do) you can easily feed the airlocks into your grow chamber. May as well put that gas to use!

Ok you got a Co2 tank and injector kit. I only use Co2 for my flowering cycle. 3 times daily for 15-60 minutes on, all fans should turn off, you can wrap your black tubing around your plants poke holes every 6 to 8 inches. You can use Co2 for you veg cycle but you must be sure you use HID lighting otherwise your just wasting Co2.Fluorescent lights dont put out enough juice for plants to be able to use the extra Co2.Oh one more thing dont run Co2 during dark period plants can also get Co2 poisening

thank you for that much appreciated and do you see results doing it that way i was thinking of getting air cooled huds to help keep the temps low going to need a dehumidifier any brits in here know of any big decent dehumidifiers that dont cost the earth been lookin and the tasty ones are like £400+ also how does a air conditioner fit in and why?
