    DIY Natural Gas co2 Generator

    Good info That 5hit! Maybe pictures are what people need to finally get it. So get this awesome shit,.. I automated the fan sucking co2 from the water heater. With an $8 Fireplace Fan Blower Heat Activation Switch. Placement of it, so it can heat up enough, but not so hot it melts was a bit...

    Piping A/C into grow box?

    If you could find a way to reroute an AC's temp probe into the box you could have it auto shut off when it was cool enough. Easier way, buy a cheap light timer and plug the AC into it. Set that sucker to run when you know its hot in there. You could probably get away with having it run 30 min on...

    Keep losing my CO2...

    Ya know,.. HerbalPrincess asked you this before, but thats where that thread ended, you never answered. How do you use your homes AC and not lose your co2? Also, IMO,.. paying to cool any grow room to 71F is a total waste of money. 1 Your ladies don't need it that cool, 2 if they'll turn colors...

    Keep losing my CO2...

    Man,... theres just gotta be a more efficient way than making heat, then paying to cool it. It's equally as wasteful as making c02, while you blow your water heaters co2 production out your roof. Oh and did i mention i run DTW and grow under LED's as well, lol. Use CFL's and two 400w HID's too...

    Keep losing my CO2...

    I hear ya man, i happen to be legal though, landlords cool as shit too, so i can pretty much do whatever i want, and id do the install myself,.. but moot point cuz no way im dropping a grand on AC (at this point) and then the bill on top of it. Especially if mine isn't losing me c02. Do all...

    Keep losing my CO2...

    I came to the conclusion that if i wouldn't take a picture of my AC unit area, and all the ducting i had going to it, it needed a makeover. It was ugly i admit. So after a revamp of the whole loft area above the closet in my grow room (that's where i house the 7K AC unit, see pic below), and...

    Keep losing my CO2...

    Yeah, i didn't make it easy for myself, but then again if i had dropped $500 and bought a minigen, it would be running for its life right now in my room. With all the HVAC shit running i can lose 3000ppm concentration pretty fast. Hey man im not far from you, dealing with the same desert...

    Keep losing my CO2...

    Nice,.. see thats what i need. What all do you use beside the mini split? You cover the walls and floor? Are you in a room, or in a tent in a room?

    Keep losing my CO2...

    Sorry beaver, i should have said something first. I don't use a CO2 tank. Check my sig for how i fill my room. In short, i use my water heater. Good thing its free too (kind of) because with how fast it vanishes i'd have a hernia from lugging co2 tanks by now. I guess i can't bitch (although i...

    Keep losing my CO2...

    Hey i said i would totally love someone to tell me where i went wrong, I'm not shutting down any ideas, except boo's, lol I have taken apart my AC unit, i thought that 2" thick foam wall that spans the entire height and width of the unit behind the blower, was perfect to keep the front and back...

    Keep losing my CO2...

    Ok,.. i gassed the room up to 3071ppm just now, and turned off everything HVAC related. No AC running, turned off the lights and fans in the cool tube, just left the LED's and CFL's on. Also turned off the homes AC. It's so fucking quiet in there its creepy, lol Lets see how fast it goes down now.

    Keep losing my CO2...

    Hey boo, guess what,.. you're a flippin idiot. Superstoner1: Thanks for the input. I wish my plants were eating the CO2 that fast man, but at the moment i only have a few small plants in veg in the whole 12x11x9 grow room, no way their eating up 900ppm of CO2 in less than an hour. Also, i...

    Keep losing my CO2...

    So i just spent a few hours trying to seal my 11'x12'x9' grow room, to no avail. After i was done i filled the room to 2000ppm, then turned the exhaust and intake fans off, left the AC and cool tube fan on, and left the room, and when i came back in less than an hour it was down to 1100. I've...

    Hey 'stranger', you might want to learn to read, than comment,.. you never noticed the 50 thousand warnings already in this very thread?... You sir, should not do this, because you've proven too stupid to read. Others who actually have two brain cells to rub together on the other hand, go...

    co2 worth it?

    If you have a gas water heater down there in your basement, i'd bet money the stack off the top of it goes to your roof,.. which means it goes through your attic,.. which is exactly what mine does, and that's where i Y'ed it off, in the attic crawl space. Hot and cramped as fuck up there, i took...

    humidity issues

    Stop trying to do hydro in a small space would be my advice. A soil grow will more than fill a tote with plant matter, minus the humidity. Full is full.

    A/C Meltdown

    167F? You sure of that man? Holy shit thats insane to think about! Something doesn't sound right,.. mind you i use 1/4 the BTUs and watts as you, but still, agree with phishtank, no way the heat of the room should kill the AC, let alone a new one. If you didn't do the install i'd seriously...

    co2 worth it?

    DONE!! Hooked up the Y, ran some flex hose (30ft of it), CO meter in place, reading 0ppm. Whole install cost me less than $50. CO2 meter was reading 550, took a shower, and it went up to 2700, CO meter still at 0ppm. Ha! Got a gas water heater? Do it, it's free CO2 and it works.
