thanks for that ZANDOR....

another question.
can i put a mh bulb in my sodium ballast if its the same wattage?

[DPoisen]

that site doesnt work Zandor?

[Zandor]

It just worked when I tried it again.


I just ran one of my rooms 7 x7x7 it said

Grow room area: 343 cubic feet
Amount of CO2 required: 0.6174 cubic feet
On time: 9.26 minutes

At this flow rate:
If you are using a 20 pound CO2 bottle with a regulator, it will last 43.7 hours.
If you have a CO2 Generator a 5 gallon propane tank will last 135 hours

that is correct, 1800PPM at a rate of 4CFH for my tank CO²

Sorry if it did not work for you.

You need to get the regulator and timmer then. Should cost between 75.00 and 140.00 bucks usd. You can get them on eBay for cheep. You use that to regulate the flow and timer to turn the flow off and on. You just caculate how long it needs to run.

When you are using CO² turn off your vents, you don't want to vent out the gas.
