plug and play co2 setup?

[Douglas1]

I have a bottle already.. and this seems cheap, very cheap.. so I thought I would ask on here if It's what I need or not..

Hydrofarm CO2 (.2-2 cubic feet per hour) with Timer (http://www.hydroponics.net/i/241151)

The legal medical grow cab is air tight, minus where the fan is hooked up for exhaust of course. no intake yet because I'm trying to figure out how to keep that discreet.. but yeah, the lights are 3 240watt led panels, two plants are in coco, two in ocean forest, and two in bubble buckets.. The temperature maxes at 80-85 with all the lights running and without the fans being on. for veg only one light can be running though, or it will bleach out the leaves.. (good problem to have) humidity between 40 and 50. so, I'm thinking of doing co2.

so, I hook this up to a canister.. set it to the right ppm, set up my fan to come on at regular intervals to control the stink and heat.. and that's it? seems too easy :)

Yep, its that easy!. The only thing is you have no monitor that tells you what the ppm's are, so the chance of killing yourself increases :) Getting a monitor that regulates the co2, fans, and dehumidifiers takes out the guesswork and keeps the perfect environment.....all the time!


Co2 is awesome btw. Donkey dick size nugs everywhere

[Douglas1]

hah, right on :) for some reason I thought you needed a brain that triggered a solenoid to spurt out co2 once the ppms drop below a certain amount... well sweet :)

[drudown11]

The controller unit makes sure that the ppm's are at optimum levels 24/7. Without one your still giving your plants co2.....you just have no idea how much.

well I bought one of these.. found it for 50bucks.. just needs a timer, so what I'm going to need to do is.. check the ppm in the room without opening the door somehow, and figure out how to get that reading up to about 1200 for the majority of the day, off at night.. right? I'll need to limit checking on the room to twice a day probably.. so that not all my co2 escapes..

Sir,
Bleaching destroys vegetable matter which in turn halts chlorophyll. would not advise.
its not that easy co2 can kill you i get dizzy at 900ppm,
1200-1500 max needed in a super grow room.
on the average in my city ppm co2 is abbot 364-465ppm.
in my flow through design i run 600-900 ppm.
