I just purchased this co2 setup for my indoor garden...it seems like a hell of a deal, so i pulled the plug and ordered it.
If anyone has this unit and wants to comment about it i would appreciate it for sure...otherwise here is a great deal i found on a co2 setup...i already have the 20lb tank...

I don't like it pulls out all the co2 when the fans turn on unless u have an air conditioner to keep the room cool. it does not control ppm. if ur room is to hot Fans will not turn off and co2 never turns on. if to cold co2 won't turn off wasting co2. I like sentinel. It sucks that the air4 is tied up to the ventilation.

well I think my lights on temp should be limited for exhaust maybe once an hour so hopefully it doesnt eat up too much co2, i planned on putting it on a timer when the lights are on only....i have a damper on the exhaust duct and the hood is sealed so it is relatively sealed so i hope i did good with this buy even if its not perfect the price was right for this time... thanks for the input Chemdog...

In a sealed room setup, the co2 shutting off while the fans run = fail. You will be amazed at how quickly a crop can suck the co2 right our of the room and be NEEDING more. If the co2 isn't there, your plants stop growing. Then they die.

Even in an unsealed room, if the co2 shuts off you still lose all the co2 thats in the room out the exhaust of the fan. What if your fan is turning on constantly, then that means your co2 is not only shutting off constantly, but it's also getting sucked out the room constantly.


Spend more and get the sentinel cppm-4. Allows sealed room applications, which is kinda where co2 is meant to be used, atleast efficiently.

If you want another cool toy that works well with the sentienl is the titan controls mercury 3 day/night fan controller. Adjusts fan speed automatically according to the temperature parameters that you set, and instead of just turing the fans completely on or off, it slowly increases/decreses fan speed to keep temps at a constant. If you fans are running in on/off mode, then you could be getting temperature spikes through out your lights on period.

And always get way more dehumidifier than what you think you need.....trust me.
