CO2 Generators and Enviromental Controllers.....What are your running?

Hello All,

I am going to be running a good amount of light, 4000w hps in 5'w x 12'L x 7'H (66w per sq ft) and I want to make sure my plants are using what I am giving them. I don't have any experience with CO2 Generators and controllers. What setup are you using and why, If it is something you added how did it affect your yields? What are the most accurate, reliable, competitively priced CO2,Temp, humidity controllers? Thanks in advance for your time.

i use this. easy as hell to use. set the high and low and walk away.

sentinel has one of the best controllers out there,it has a sensor to turn it on with the lights and has a 16ft sensor you put at plant level so it reads where the plant is,not just one corner of the room. I can get you a deal on anything you need, checkout beveragefactory for tanks,

That Sentinel monitor def isn't cheap

Sentinel CPPM.4 Digital CO2 PPM Controller with removable probe - $479



* Controls CO2 levels with PPM accuracy
* Reliable, accurate and simple to use!
* Select Fuzzy-logic mode or change to Generator mode when using a CO2 generator.
* C02 & light level sensor is housed in a separate remote sensor enclosure that can be located up to 100ft from the main controller.
* Controlling CO2 has never been easier or more affordable.
* Rated for 15 amps @ 120v


The one from C.A.P with comparable features is way less expensive



CAP CO2-4e Temperature, Humidity, & CO2 Controller w/4-timers - $299



* 4-Timer CO-2-4e Atmosphere Controller is rated for 10 amps @ 120 volts
* Four timers that add just the right amount of CO2 without wasteful "overshoot"
o Overall cycle timer allows the user to decide how long CO2 is kept in the grow room prior to being exhausted
o Exhaust timer cycle timer controls length of time exhaust fans will run
o Third timer controls the length of time CO2 is released
o Fourth timer controls how often CO2 is released
* Disables CO2 injection if the temperature or humidity levels exceed your specified limits; activates an exhaust outlet for controlling ventilation equipment
* Built-in Photo controller disables CO2 funtion when lights are turned off at night


Is the Sentinel that much better......is it worth the extra $179?

The GrowZone unit is even way more than the sentinel @ $820ish

I have to check my dealer catalogue tommorow on the cap, but the price on that sentinel is not much more then my wholesale cost.
