Need Co2 advice

[copobo]

it would make sense if you were doing a whole-house grow

[MtnLionCO]

that would be alot of co2 for a whole house.

here's a cool page to check out
marijuana seeds growing - How much co2 should I add?

im here offering my personal experience, and you offer me an article.

its not a debate or popularity contest, like i said , my best advice to a newbie is to get a monitor first.

i go on to detail how my c02 level was high enough without supplementation from me breathing, and you say its only possible on the moon or over a coal mine.

i feel i have to defend myself here because you could have simply given your experience, but you are trying to make it into right and wrong. i will let you defer to your mainline articles, im actually here to learn not try to sound like i know everything, which i dont, the more i learn the more i dont know.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Your experience does not always make you an expert. My wife has 15 years of experience making me dinner. She's no top chef.

Your right, this is no popularity contest. I think I can speak for a few of us when I say we are just confused by your method. Everyone is only here to help. Our meds are important to all of us.

When I said I am doubtful of your high levels of CO2 concentration without you having supp. CO2, it's because of MY EXPERIENCE. I have a meter like you suggest for others to get, and I have never seen ambient levels of CO2 rise that high without supplementing. Unless of course I am breathing on the thing or in a small room. We were only trying to find a logical explanation.

You claimed my experience was "ridiculous". I flat out told you I was not trying to be an ass, yet you still reacted negatively.

I am still curious as to how you have your setup, if you could help me understand? I mean no harm.

I wonder why you are taking this personally? seriously man. this is just a conversation. I learn and try new stuff I read on here all the time, far from figured out. I agree on the monitor 100%. remember, we're just screen names on here and nobody can see your experience.

MtLion's responses seem a little out of character, maybe someone is having a really sh!tty day.

MtLion - relax, it's just a forum. People are just sharing ideas. Yes some toes got stepped on but mostly we have similar goals at heart.

Ok just posting this as I can hit 420 for my post count. Might have to quit the site now and leave it there! HAhaha!

if you have a constant air exchange then it makes no difference whether your co2 is inside the grow room or in the secondary room where the air is being exchanged.

you cant visualize a small basement with co2 generator and a grow room directly above with holes cut in the floor?

what was described originally was a basement with a smaller grow space made within the basement, same idea. the secondary area should be 4 times as large as the grow space.

i am not in a bad mood at all, i simply responded to each post which was a mistake.

So you're saying the air exhange is constant in the secondary room, and your co2 is in the secondary room... ? You release Co2 into an area 4x's the size of your grow room, instead of just in your grow room?

my partner got the o ring and re-installed it but the regulater still won't work...it seems like the co2 just does not go thru the regulater to the up and down dial so we can set the limits..when we plug it in it clicks but no co2 is comming thru... and yes we do have the tank turned on...and the valves open....lol

[copobo]

if you take the regulator off the tank, and open the valve on the top of the tank - very, very slowly, aimed away (!) from you, does any co2 come out? does it have a pressure gauge?
