OK, so here is the deal. I want to add CO2 to my flower room but I have a few questions first.
Here is my setup:
7'x7' closet
1000W MH
1000W HPS
Aero/NFT system
temps 70/80 with door opened a little and a fan blowing in fresh air. I run my lights at night to help with the temps.
The lights have glass and are on a fan vented into the attic. The fan is pulling air out of the room right now. I know I will have to pull the air from somewhere else when I add CO2. I'm thinking of just pulling it out of the attic but I'm afraid that come August It might be to hot. The air coming in will be over 100 degrees. Any ideas?
If if just wanted to add a tank/CO2 system what would I loose if I still had my door open a little to bring in cool air. I guess what I'm asking is, do you think I'm going to have to have an A/C unit in the room? I'm running A/C in the room next to the closet now. That's how I'm able to keep the temps reasonable now. I don't have the power capabilities right now to be able to add another A/C unit inside the room along with 2K watts of lights and my room A/C.
Do you think it would still be cost effective to run CO2 knowing that I will loose some CO2 to constant ventilation? Do you have to have a sealed room with venting fans on timers for a small closet? I don't care if I have to pay more for the CO2 if it will be worth it.
Any Tips for a CO2 noob. By the way I have read many posts and books on the subject so I'm looking for more real world tips (no baking soda and vinegar please). I imagine one of you guys may have been in the exact same boat as me and solved all of your problems already.
Thanks!
