Looking at firing up my 5x5 tent with 4 ft 8 bulb t5 for veg and (2) sun systems 315 watt LEC 3,100K for flower. i will be running an inline fan and carbon filter during flower to help with environment and smell but my question is how do i maintain proper c02 levels. should i go with an expensive ppm sniffing system or just co2 bags?
Thanks

running co2 in a tent is a waste. all you'll do is leak out precious co2 as tents are not sealed. also, running co2 needs optimum heat, lights, and rh conditions for it to be of any real use. and those home made bags, co2 drip kits, or co2 in a bucket is another waste. its been proven on here and other sites by growers.

Save your money and look into investing in some wavepoint bulbs for the T5 fixture, RM3 uses them and he kills it.

To maintain proper CO2 levels in n that tent you should move enough air. The air will have ambient levels of CO2, or higher if the air comes from your home. That should be sufficient...

Right and if you're moving enough air any extra you produced with those shitty ass mycoplasma bags would just be suckere out anyway. Love your babies the co2 will be fine and you'll do alright

The CO2 bags are total shit - don't buy them.
CO2 tank is the way to go. You can seal off most leaks in your tent with simple HVAC supplies. It's expensive at first but well worth it. You might be able to find an old tank on Craig'slist, and be able to refill it for cheap. All you need after that is a sensor in your tent and a regulator.
