Think of the benefits too, you run your AC unit less = more $$ in your pocket instead of the utility co. and with CO2 you have the potential to produce more product in the end.

I'm not saying don't do the AC, you're gonna need it too in SoCal.

Good luck with your project!

p.s. I have 2 master kush that are about a week or two from flower. As soon as I get back from Vegas, I'm cloning them.
herbaltivo - Thanks for the input!

All things taken into consideration, CO2 will probably be the way to go. If the cost is a wash, like Fog pointed out, and the yields are higher, that alone should be enough reason to use CO2. But also, in this climate, trying to maintain a 90 - 95 temp would be a lot less stressful on the g/r infrastructure, and me, than trying to maintain a 75 temp. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, if I'm using CO2, then I am re-circulating the g/r air most of the time, as opposed to continualy refreshing it; aren't I? Obviously it would be a lot cheaper to maintain a 90 - 95 temp than it would be to have to constantly cool hot intake air.

How often do you have to change air when you are using CO2?
