My finding on Co2 use is as everything in the pot world..controversial..First im having a design issue with the room when it comes to heat from the lights. Im using 2 400w and 1, 1000w cool tubes, vented by 2 fans. I also have 1 600cfm intake fan and 1 600cfm exhaust carbon filtered going outside. My intake fan is from basement air which is cold but dry and im sure lacking Co2. The room is completely sealed and 1 wall is a soft wall so i cant have too of an extreme + or - airpressure so the blowers are adjusted to equalize the pressure, thus having to be on all the time for heat issues. Now The intake and exhaust are not enough to keep the room below 88F, so i added a 12k btu portable a/c unite on rollers. At first it was added in the room but it dryed the hell out of the room and i still had a problem with air pressure, then i built it into the wall so it pulls from outside the room. Bottom line what im trying to figure out is i cant be tending to the room all the time, i have everything on individual timers except the a/c unit, it cant go on a wall timer cause it wont turn on when the power is restored to the socket. so for me to dows the room with Co2 during the day i could turn off the fans and a/c but cant turn the a/c unit back on without physically doing it. So im opting to dows at night right after the lights go out and the heat is still fairly warm about 80F and then once, 1 hour before the light come on. The during the light cycle the intake/ a/c and exhaust are running uninterrupted.
Am i wasting time/money dowsing at night ? How many time should i dows the room in a 24hour period? How long should the plant marinate in the Co2
The pics are a few weeks old im in the last week of veg now and the plants are 4 feet tall ill be postin the before and after Co2 pics soon. All opinons are welcome.
