CO2 Faq...

[Jdog7000]

Could some one throw down some info on tanks and regulators and what not.
Even the damper you got hooked up for circulation Zandor.That would help me alot. If you could explain how you did that in some detail I would be stoked. I basicly want to get a tank and do what you did ,Zandor.

Where do you get tanks. Where do you refill them. How much does it all cost.
And if you want to put it in the Faq's ,That would help alot of ppl.:thumbsup:

Tanks are expensive to run in grow rooms, they will cost you about 50-80 bucks a week to 10 day's. It could last 2 weeks if you are lucky but to fill the big tanks are expensive and you don't have a truck. You are better off with a generator then you only need to buy propane or you can just use natural gas if you get that version of generator.

I'll see what I can dig up and write something up for you and the others. It may need to wait until the house is on the market so I have more time though.

when doing Co2 Tanks or a Co2 maker your Plants Roots need a good sorce of Oxygen ( sorce of air stone needs to be out side the Co2 inviroment):smokin:

Cool, Thx guys. I'll go with the one like yours for now then.
I didn't know it cost so much.
Oh well. The genarator will work fine.
And what about my roots in soil. How do I get oxygen to the roots then.
Can I use an air stone for that?
Zandor don't rush on a CO2 faq for me.I ment more for everybody.
Because alot of ppl wonder about CO2.

NicE!!!!

I had this question pop into my head the other day.... but it disappeared...

I semi-wondered just what you said, but your post confirmed it. :)

As to CO2 tanks...
I think Home Depot is selling them now... the tanks... like the Blue Rhino thing... you take in the empty one... pull out a new one...
Damn... I didn't know it would cost that much the tanks, Z.

Hmmmm.... next grow... next grow...

Zandor, question::: How do you make the "2" of CO2 be "subscript"? Looks nifty... ;)

I'm in hydryton and everyone who gets to the point of co2 i know of are doing hydro with hydryton/or rockwood and useing air stones maybe Zandor got some ideas on soil and Co2. I'm talking about sealed off rooms with co2 emmitters or a tank controlled with auto gauge, the consentration of Co2 is to high for the roots not shure what you are useing and in what...... :smokin:

Ah I see. I was thinking about going hydro. Aeroponic style. My first grow was that way. But I like organic and I was told that organics and hydro don't work to well together. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I basicly just want to run a little bit of co2 to pass threw the room. It's not sealed so I wouldn't be pumping a huge amount in there. Just enough to bring the co2 level up a bit.So a tank would be a waste of money.
I thin k I'll try it without co2 for a few weeks. And see if it slows things down. But not till I start my vegging girls.
Right now I'm using the CO2 Boost and it works pretty well. I just wanted something more perminent.
