Not sure.... I have this one..

Do you think if the plants are getting 3k plus ppm for a couple hours a day it would make thier leaves get chlorosis?

Not sure this is the one i have....

Turned off the burner for the night, gonna see what my monitor that logs the ppm every 30 mins says tomorrow afternoon.[/QUOTE]
Did you adjust your pressure on the natural gas line? It's supposed to be 4.5" WC or 1/4PSI

How do I even do that? That is new to me. Could that be the problem is the line is not up to those standards? Problem is numbers were high even before gas was turned on

To be honest, I do not know. I don't use burners. I looked it up real quick and that's what I found.

Tell me every single thing in your room. Something else must be the source.

2 de humidifiers
9 1000 W HPS lights (ballasts outside the room)
1co2 controller
8 burner co2 generator
150 can filter attached to q Max fan muffler combo
36kbtu mini split
5 wall fans
8 light controller.

The house I'm in has a lil room above that is storage where the water heater sits. We run all the lines to the ballasts into this lil room which is Co occupied with the water heater. The water heater has a pilot on all the time. Could the water heater co2 somwhow drop into my room? I still have to seal it with foam so technically that would be the only opening in my room but even then it's till pretry sealed.

Glad I asked! It's the water heater for sure man. No question about it.
Get that thing moved or seal the shit out of the ceiling.

I'll take pics of the room and how the heater sits above it. Will report back once I've taken a few pics.

Turned off my burner last night and checked my ppm monitor. WHen lights were on they CO2 went way down, lowest levels ive seen. I think when people shower the water heater kicks on and more co2 is produced and must be coming out there the drain pipe.

Ok here are some pics..
first pic -Water heater room above my grow room. That copper pipe is what leads down into my room. I believe its in case the water heater over flows.
second- more view of the water heater
third - is in my room, and opening where the drain/overflow pipe is coming out of the wall.
4th- overflow pipe and opening of the pipe that could be leaching co2

What do you think? is this the culprit?

no, check your autopilot monitor to see if it's set for day or night function

The autopilot digital climate controller, and the delux only activate the co2 during lights on. So wouldn't be that.
I have know idea what is going on in the OP's setup for co2 to be like it is though. Crazy

I read he was using the auto pilot co2 controller, which DOES have a day/night function


I'm using an autopilot 8 burner and autopilot controller...

Oh, not sure about that device. And i meant master controller, not delux:-)

had a buddy had one, I figured out his was on night function instead of day. autopilot is the new C.A.P

i still have C.r.A.P ppm2's as my co2 controllers in a couple of my rooms. Only thing i have left by those fuckers. They still work perfect though
I did just finally have an autopilot digital climate controller go out. 1 out of 5 that I have. It's the oldest one. Got it right when it came out. Not too bad i guess. Still sucks though. Only maybe 2 yrs old?

Controller was set up for day function, have the generator turned off, sealed up all water heater this has to make sure it's not causing excess co2

I also have this same problem .. I don't exchange air.. I just let them deal with it . Also a 9k garden . Sometimes during lights off it will go 3k + ppms and there is no co2 leak. It's because your room is sealed as fuck and plants produce co2 when they are sleeping from what I've read . An exhaust is a good idea but I don't exhaust . I find if the plants are at max uptake with no lock outs the ppm stay lower . Try setting your meter on a timer.. Have the meter go off 1 hour before the lights do. This will give time for them to eat up some co2 before the lights go out and they put it off
