A friend of mine who is really into fish and aquariums gave me one of his *extra* CO2 tanks and regulators...The problem is...i don't know what to do with it.

Due to a recent move i am reluctantly limited to a very small grow space...

2'x3.75'x8'

When finished I will be running air cooled 400w hps with 400w compact fluorescents.

and hopefully growing 4 ladies.

I picked up enough of the black tubing to go around the room.
How many holes should i put per inch?
What schedule should it be on vs my ventilation system?
How do i use the regulator?

Any ideas would be helpful as i am clueless...I through in a pic of my wife's booty as thanks.

there are co2 controllers w/ppm meters that will let out the the right amount of co2 as you set it for.

Then give back the bottle.
You _could_ get a flow meter and try to gestimates what the flow rate will be, and how much leaks out and how much the plant is using.

FYI :A regulator controls pressure not flow/volume.

I guess some CO2 is better then none. But too much isn't a good thing.
 
or u can get a electric off on flow control valve, set it on a 15 min timer working only when the lights ar on . then set your preshure regulater to 5 psi and let her rip. with the ventalation fans drawing fresh air in you wont over dose your plants.
