CO2 Circulation In Sealed Room - Would this work?? (Image inside)

So I'm working on a 12x12 sealed room design and am trying to find the most effective way to circulate CO2 to the pants. I was wondering if anyone had tried this.

Sorry for the shitty illustration, I was working fast.

Any thoughts on improving it?


Any input from experience using a chimney stack to deliver CO2?

what vos said

plus chimme stacks are no good they make more then just Co2

the most effective way to add Co2 to your plants is to brew beer/wine/moonshine.............the byproduct is pure Co2 of it brewing plus in the end u get something to drink

this is just the cheap man method of doing it ..............i make moonshine i get 2 gallons of 140% rum for 25 bucks........the buckets last about 4 days of steady hard Co2 then one more day of it Co2 asl ong as u keep area shut after that it stops brewing and ready to be run .................now if u do not really care about u can do it with just plain white sugar and bakers yeast but it will not be anything drinkable ..............but i take what i make up and sell it for 80 bucks a gallon 140% moonshine ................25 bucks for mats to make 2.32 bucks for power per run still u can make for self for 300 or buy for 700

to do this correctly u need tanks a controller (with photo cell) ..............this set up depends on the tank sizes but u are looking near 1000 bucks tanks controller valve halo system

I use my fan/charcoal filter combo scrubber, standing upright on my floor, to circulate the now heavy-co2 laiden air back up and over my plant canopies. Use some ducting if you have to

ahhh

yah there is no point ..........vos is right Co2 is a heavy gas so will sink in and settle raise up to your ejection point getting sucked out at that point


u can get the same effect u want with the fans ..........if u can get a powered intake to bring in fresh air have that ducting going to the back of the fans then just hang your burn so the Co2 flows down ............the air comes in the fan blows the cool air in the ent making air current moving the Co2 around some goes out ejection but most of it is fresh to be burned into co2 or to be sucked out with heat

Oh! So that is what you meant! Thats what I was recomending in my earlier post. Good Idea! Btw...,, That is how everyone i know(including myself)does it. In their sealed growroom.

**edit:
I noticed you got a picture of a Gen1 burner in that new picture you got. Is that the gen your gonna use? Is it new in the box?

I was looking at the Blueprint CGNG 4, given it's price and all of the same safety features as the more expensive models, w/ electronic ignition.

What fan do you use on the scrubber to push the CO2? I'm growing in a 12x12 space and am trying to figure what's going to be strong enough to pull from all 4 corners of the room.

Nice! I was just gonna tell you some horror stories that I've had with those Gen1's.
Just make sure the gen you buy has dual solenoids for safety! Later.

Oh yeah I've definitely seen this video! I was thinking about ducting to the circulating fans to give a more direct approach to the plants.

Oh yeah it's got dual solenoids! I've read some pretty great reviews about these.

Nice!
About the ducting: IMO, it's all about whatever's clever for your room. For example, I don't think that would be necessary for a small room with the scrubber placed rite in the middle
A larger room, it is an excellent idea.

K.I.s.s. a simple small fan on the floor plus the added air circulation of other fans in the room is plenty. I can take reasons at 1',3' and 5' from the floor with very little variance. The key is air movement.

are you setting ur burner on the ground?

my wife blows in my pants... that is the best way well the most enjoyable

If I do this set up then yeah.

You have to hang the burner up. Don't hang directly over plants. And hang it at LEAST a couple feet from walls.

Just mount your photo cell and sniffer a touch higher then the plants and everything from floor to sniffer will be filled w co2. Dont go to indepth if you put sniffer on ceiling it will pump and pump until it hits your desired setting. Buy a hand held meter and test it plus the osciallating fans will move it enough to keep it from becoming stagnant
