Co2 vs Ventalition

Honestly, Turtle is right.. Again..

Run a ventilation setup and not a Co2..If you in a cabinet drill a hole in the bottom about the size of a baseball for passive intake. then dril a hole above the lights and on the side or back .. and opposite the side the bottom hole is on(for air circulation). Attach a 80 cfm fan to the wall (top hole) with a cover and and wire it.
I did the math at Home Depot and it costs about 30 for fan.

I my self just bought a Utility cabinet from Lowes and it for 118.00 bucks.
I is seperated in the middle for 24 inches on both sides. so I set up a mother side and a flower side. and instead of putting 2 fans in for each side. im gunna run Duct through the seperation wall from the mom side to the flower side cool both lamps (keeping the temp down) and ventilating in fresh air from the mother side floor.

really its cheap
50 bucks tops

And i really dont know how much Co2 a small animal would produce..
i mean if you put a lil piggy in a airtight box, ... it would probably die in an hour from Co2 poisoning.

Time for an experiment

(I hope that was a joke)

Ahahaahahaahahaaaaaa!!!!!!

Don't get a pig man... you're going to kill it.... AHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAHHH!AAA!!!

But, kudos man... thinking with your scientific mind... :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

what if you want to co2 AND ventillate for heat. Impossible cause the fans will blow out the co2? I've got a tank, regulator, etc., but dont know the levels

Sealed lights don't put vented air into the room so if you have sealed lights and air in from the outside through the lights and back out the otherside of the room then it will not effect the CO².

When you REALLY want a professional growing setup and you have some serious money to invest in it. you'll need these:

1. Growroom controler (regulates when the co² injection is active and regulates the fans in combination with the co² gasses)

2. Decent fans (size depends on the size of your room and number of lights)
2a. A isolated box you hung the fans in (softbox technique)

3. Carbon scrubbers

4. Heaters (heating mats for the soil wirk pretty good)

5. co² injection kit.

And this all work together when you programmed the growroom controller decently.

Co2 is for people with whole rooms. Its for factorys. Its definately not needed for a small closet. Ventilation, just one computer fan blowing inward would do the job because Co2 and ventilation go hand in hand. Also you can actually buy Co2 tablets which dissolve in water which work perfectly. Britwires fan make is Lti Systemair they are very good fans for intake and exhaust.

Got those co² tablets... they do work good on VEG but I didn't notice any differance while blossoming.
