quick ? and vote on use of CO2

your username is exactly how i feel about you right now

you're going to supplement co2 in an un-sealed tent without a controller or monitor and keep the exhaust running...i guess you're going to have to learn this one the hard way. good luck brother.

Just an idea not sure if it would work... SaY One had a duel hose ac in,the room /tent. What if you took your carbon exhaust and ran it into your duel hose. (Assuming the duel hose has no intake inside the room and it's soul Intake is the hose scrubber is ran to)

that was the point of me picking the name ......glad u got to use it

but really man it is just using what is at hand to do the job like any redneck would .......if the idea did not have value or a chance of working i would not spending the time or effort involved in doing i would just i do not know get a new 100cc moped engine and have a toy for the year again

the idea is sound .........use a soda bottle and a pin poke holes where ever u want leaving 90% of it alone ........fill it with water watch it leak out now suck (negative pressure ) the water stays little bubbles come in and suck out .......now if u can put a hole in the bottles and add on tube take that tube anchor the end of it in a deep bowl of water

u empty all the water ........then u let in some from the bowl into it and keep doing it as u suck on the top of the bottle.......same thing will happen in the tent the Co2 will act like the water once it is in the air as it is a heavy gas and works this way (lake nyos....look it up ) if Co2 just magically mixed into the air this would of never happen .......co2 and are air is oil and water same ideas from this can be applied to that


this is my last attempt to explain the idea to u ........Co2 under negative pressure of a tent will pool up just like it does in the bottle since it can not excape from the leaks and look for balance ........i do not need to fill the whole 150cf of the tent ....at best i am looking for 100cf filled 5x5x4 the area of the plant ....the C02 does not have a exit path open until the zipper is moved and the negative pressure is broken ........the gas is colder and un used so it goes to the bottom the hot air and CO2 will raise due to natural laws of thermal dynamics

i understand what u are saying it is not sealed u are cycling air .........i accounted for that .....u do not believe me it will work nor will u when i post wahoooo........so i am saying try it with your 4x4x6 tent
make a mash bucket .........start put it by the intake and do not open the door for 2 days at a time only when it is watering and feed time .......when the bucket stops have a look u will see results

the extract mix i use for my rum
12 lbs of dark brown sugar
6 tbs of yeast nutrient
1 tbs of gypsum
1 quart of honey
mix all this in a pot with 2 and half gallons of water.....mix it good nothing left .......dump in the bucket fill the bucket with cold water until reach 6 gallon mark ....then add dady yeast 1/4 cup stir well leave alone for 1 hour come back look to make sure all foamy cap it and put the air lock on ........just put it in the tent...make sure run negative pressure

this will make a gallon of 140/150% rum .....after u cut off the heads and leaves u a 1/5 of tails

the trouble is matching the air force if one is weaker the then the other it will over power it make it less effective by pushing air back down into the line so the air is send up has force it using more engery losing force so sit like a stale pool of water

i tried that idea on exhausting 2 tents

Going to add the t in a vertical manner with a fan on,the bottom blowing the intake into the ac, just an experiment

the idea of using your mash as a co2 source is not in doubt here. its the way your trying to control it and with a totally unsealed room is. you can NOT totally seal a tent. ive grown in tents for over 4 years (and with high end secret jardin tents), I now run a 100% sealed BUILT flower room. tent zippers leak, tent port holes leak, small pin holes in the tent fabric leak. even tho you said you lined the interior or exterior with material does NOT make it 100% air tight.

and if your using an exhaust fan while running co2, your wasting your time and mash for nothing. the co2 is getting sucked out the text quicker than your bucket can make it.

nope it does not as it is a heavy gas .......it settles to the bottom ........with a negitive pressure the Co2 can not leak the little holes as oxygen is coming in .....so it builds up untill it is next to the ejection point then it is dump ( if the gas was not heavy like it is it would not work this way )

NO shit just try it one time using a bucket .......... run my experiment and see ...........i ran this experiment for 18 months 2 to 3 buckets a month...........just using the Co2 from the buckets gets me 1oz to 2 oz higher return off the plant

please before anyone tells me this is not going to work run my experiment .........i see results

if you have neg pressure in your room, your run an exh fan. thus exhausting precious co2. so why bother. I pull +1g/w w/o the use of co2. dial your room in 1st, then try the extras. you will see a difference

i pull a good amount
1000 w hid got me 11 ozs off one plant in 78 days 308 grams ( 11 oz a plant was my avg )

currently i am on LED (total 1200w acutally use 800w) .....i am learning how to tweak it for that i am doing a avg of 6 oz (168 grams) a plant in about 72 days (seed to smoke) from auto plants .....i got matrix S lights so i can play with the lightwaves still playing to tune it in

hell i did a 600w hydro once got me 26 oz 22 grams (750 grams ) took me 110days to grow it
all those are auto plants .........not one photo ever grown .........if i tried to grow them i could max out the yeilds like they have posted for the seeds.........but the time table to do it is to long i like different weeds

i only been doing this 3 year in a illegal state.......so i can not go all out like some of u ppl can i have to stay under the radar .......if i could i would put a Green House in my side yard and grow there it gets great light all day ........but with a state trooper next door ( out my back door 20 feet is his back door)

halo system it is thanks for the help

i went to the store yeasterday and placed my order the tank showed up here today ....fill it tomarrow wait for the call that order is in pick it up and run it

i did get one of the Co2 meters to keep eye on the system naturally my system is 470/490 ppm .......so wahoooo just on that info if i want to get it to 1500 i am still only release 0.2 cubic feet
found a nicer calu it has natural ppm to help u adjust the math
