Final say on CO2 temp!?!

If you get a controller and monitor, does it automatically dispense Co2 out of the bottle for you to keep it always at 1500ppm? So expensive but man that has got to be amazing if it actually does that.

Yep, you just set the 'set-point' and it turns it on and off as it needs it:mrgreen:

The one I use is called "C.A.P. Fuzzy Logic Co2 Monitor / Controller". 1500ppms I set it at and I never have to worry about it, or maybe I should say one less thing to worry about.

The CAP fuzzy logic is better than the one I use now---C.A.P. PPM3---it's better on the juice-----I run my exhaust only at night when the co2 is off. Saves on the juice and the co2 during the days gives them all the co2 and o2 they need---my lights are passive and my room rarely goes over 82 in summer---I have an port A/C set to 85 but it never kicks-on(mostly a safety measure if something goes wrong with my passive light fans.) I'm still using a 20 pound tank a week at 1500ppm's---my room is 1200 cubic feet---my room cost 150-200 a cycle dep on strain---I have a nat gas burner for winter-I only run juice in the summer.

the reason you want higher temps. when running co2, is because these higher temps. cause the stomata to open wider. if you didn't have the higher temps. opening the stomata wider, the additional co2 wouldn't/couldn't be utilized by the plant.

I'm going to keep my room in-between 80F-85F. This way the Co2 will be used correctly and the plants will not suffer from that kind of heat increase.

Same here. I just pick up 4 bottles a month and that is from 1 bottle an entire cycle when I used just a timer and didn't monitor the ppms:?

What do you guys think of the ppm3 by CAP? Mine seems to go erratic every now and then. I have to unplug it and plug it back in and it works fine, but I don't like the software glitches :(
I hear the 'fuzzy logic' one is a lot better?!

mine does the same thing once in a while---as you said----just unplug and restart----the nice thing about the glitch is that it shuts off your co2 valve when it happens----it would really bother me if it happened to leave the valve on.---I would like to have the fuzzy---it would pay for itself ov er a period of time---I heard they are great on the juice----mayby santa will bring me a nice gift this year...
