so totally subbed, many of my friends and I are rocking the green crack, thanks to one of my friends who disbursed it like crack, lol. gotta love Cali'
It depends like everything...how far do you want to go and how accurate do you want to be. My timer was $80 and the regulator was a $100. You don't necessarily need my timer. I like mine cause it has a light sensor. It starts dispersing Co2 once my lights come on. then every 60min it comes on for 15min. It does not run with the lights out.
My buddy uses a $20 digital timer from home depot to do the same thing.
It's a couple hundred for a decent Co2 set up using a bottle. A generator is about $500 and you will be totally dialed. For a small grow I don't think a generator is necessary.
I don't think I use enough Co2. The guys say my bottle while in the middle of flowering I should be going through it in a week. I'm at two weeks.
I'm sure I'm in the 1000ppm range.
There are really test strips for this? I remember that from a previous post.
Lol, that's kinda funny - posted my previous post before seeing this - the guy at the hydro store is right (although with your setup, I'd think you'd be going through more then a bottle a week), you're not high enough in CO2.
Although my tent is by no means a totally sealed room, it's close enough, and I go through a bottle a week - that's with my exhaust and intake fans never running (only once when lights go off for about a minute).
They never run during the day.
I ran my first Co2 test today. The test kit is the one where you push air through the glass and white bar turns purple. It was dark purple till 500ppm and tapered off to about 900. Most of the tapered color was really light purple. I'm probably at 500ppm
I bumped it up and measured a little while later. basically almost max on the regulator. The regulator had cold condensation on itI measured about 1800ppm. This in part to reading some Co2 from the last burst.
I want to do a generator but at the time I finished the room fundage got a little tight. Keep in mind my room was a ground up build. I might drop the bones on a generator after Chrismas though. Then I'll just pump that bitch full. But yeah, I should be going through at least a bottle a week.
Put some netting over them. One thing about this indoor...the stems are not as thick. I think I might have some sagging so I'm gonna try out the netting.
Bob you know your C02
Glad to have you around

Starting to smell pretty goodCola's are really starting to take shape too.
awesome man, can we get an upclose shot?
Yeah pics coming soon.
I don't know how everyone gets these killer trichome shots with the lights on. The color is too yellow for me to do it. Then with the lights off the flash is too bright and is messes up the pics.
Even the fan leaves are full of crystals but I can't seem to get a good shot.
C5 that thing looks very very nice
i change my light setting to "tungsten". it takes all the yellow/red glare out and adds some blues. all those settings on your camera do something different. play around with them.
