Need Co2 advice

[copobo]

I wonder what the source is?

maybe you lived over an old coal mine or something? malfunctioning water heater?

earth ambient cO2 is ~388 ppm

wow.

mtnlionco = dude - neg rep for this post for me huh buddy? wtf?

I'll be careful not to help you from now on!

[copobo]

seriously dude, just a heads up, you won't have many friends if you randomly drop disapproval ratings on people trying to help you. don't be an ass!

I think I've used it twice, ever.

IMO, it's for marking people who are intentionally being douchebags.

if you have a basement with unsealed room thats IDEAL, just set up the co2 outside the grow space and transfer air. dont listen to these guys on here! get the monitor first so you know exactly whats going on.

I assure you that I know how to read a meter with huge ol numbers on em.

I misread your post about co2 and symbiotic relationships. Completely sorry.

But smaller areas ARE easier to control. Supplemental CO2 is pointless if you are not running a sealed room with controlled ventilation.

Get the sand out of your vagina.

thats not true, if the rest of your house is closed up the room doesnt have to be "sealed".

who grows in a sealed room anyway, you would need to run an air conditioner if your room was sealed (which creates more heat). and how would you control the humidity? mine stays constant at 40%, it doesnt go up to 80% and then trigger an exhaust fan. and my co2 stays constant at 1200 (from me breathing) it doesnt fluctuate around.

maybe i have bigger lungs than you i dunno.

I grow in a sealed room. I have no problems with controlling my temp/humidity AT ALL. Everyone has to try what works best for them. The fact that you're calling me a liar in half my posts, only proves your ignorance/inexperience on the subject.

Do you stay in your grow room all day long? If you don't, then how the heck could it stay at 1200 ppm constant? "Who grows in a sealed room anyway?" Well, who stays in their grow room all day, anyway?

I won't mention how I think you got those big ol lungs of yours. But I'm guessing it's not from smoking.

humidity of 80% dumps room air.

:wtf: Have any problems with mold??

sum1call911- Supplemental CO2 is pointless if you use ANY ventilation IMO. That's what A/c is for in a CGE.

I meant when not using "controlled" ventilation.

I meant when not using "controlled" ventilation.

"controlled" ventilation = temp and humidity fluctuation, oh and co2 fluctuation. Not to mention the wasting of CO2 with ventilation. My turbo car puts out enough of it I'd feel bad if I was venting any more.

none. I don't think it ever gets up there. (soil and coco, no auto water anything)

Your acronyms are confusing me. Haha.. IMO=In my opinion? CGE=Controlled Greenhouse Environment?

You're right. To a point it is pointless. But for people who use HPS lights and such, they need the ventilation. Some don't/can't use AC's.

I say a half hour of supp. CO2 @ 1500ppm every half hour, is better than no supp. CO2. As long as during your CO2 ON time, your room is sealed. Because you're already losing CO2 when the fans kick on, why would you wanna lose co2 when they're off?

What do you mean it? My brains not functioning 100% on this Shrom, nice trippy high. 80% humidity has gota equal bud rot and mold, if you really do hit 80 at times I'm super impressed with your herb, especially it's taste. :jointsmile:

Your acronyms are confusing me. Haha.. IMO=In my opinion?

yeah meant imo not sure why i captilized

CGE=Controlled Greenhouse Environment?

closed grow enviroment, or what you said, ive just heard the term thrown around for a sealed co2 enriched room

why would you wanna lose co2 when they're off?

Why would you wanna lose co2 period? besides to the plants, I don't mind that at all. :stoned:
