CO2 injection I'd like your thoughts

I want to add CO2 injection.:twisted:

Any of you guys run CO2??:confused:

What type of controller do you like:confused:, sensor(big bucks), timer(cheapest), temp/humidity(seems the best for the money).

I'll be switching the duct from the lights to the 4in vortex(172cfm), and adding a 6in vortex(449cfm) for air exchange.

I use a powered, filtered intake, it runs in sync with the exhaust.

280 cu.ft. The 6in vortex will give me 3 exchanges for each two mins. running.

Don't be shy.:peace:

Lay it on me.:!:

I'm still putting my CO2 setup together, no real 'controller' yet. I've got a 25lb. tank and regulator. My light(1000w MH) is exhausted by a 4" squirrel cage blower and the room is vented by a 4" inline blower. Circulation is via a Stanley blower fan and a 16" Air King oscillator. Intake is passive, my door is sealed with a door-way-shaped hunk of styrofoam with a gap at the very bottom for air to flow in. Right now I'm using just a 15 minute increment timer, but I intend on going with a full on environmental controller within a harvest or two. I run my CO2 at .3cfh for 45min of every hour, followed by a 15min vent cycle where my exhaust fan comes on. I need to measure my room to figure out volume as I'm not sure what concentration I'm reaching right now. I'm lazy...

what happened to throwin some seeds into a pot.. and having pot? :-D jk but whomever sad growtronix was too expensive was absolutely right.. not for what your going to use it for!!!
 
Hey guys, just an update on my situation, I found an IGS-061(I believe thats the model) CO2 controller on craigslist. I don't think it controls temperature or humidity but should be good enough for now. That Growtronix setup looks pretty sweet, maybe not as quality as some of the better environmental controllers but $600 is pretty cheap for something like that.

$600 is base for growtronix...what if you need to have multiple tds/ec/temp/ph dosers/readers? isnt that like 400 a pop?

and how much are you paying for that igs on craigslist? you know you can find discounts on websites for total control!
 
hello,...can you tell me if an outside growing container plant, moved inside
every nite and placed under lights, then put back outside for the day....
24 hour light for, say, 14 days....then left outside..........

do you think it will then flower?

thanks

I use co2boost but couldn't tell you what the difference is without co2 been using it from the beginning. I only use it during 12/12 i thought your only suppose to use it during flowering and not vegetative. Anyone have anymore insight on when to use co2? I thought it was suppose to make denser buds, how can it make denser buds if your only using it in vegetative state?
