Hey im willing to buy co2 controller

[Vlkk]

Hey i’ve found on amazon this controller which seem good but i’m trying to figure out how is it gonna work with 230v ac network

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0748ZRD2X/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

I see there that the inlet should be 100-240vac but how many volts ac / dc i get for the regulator?

Maybe all i need is an inlet adapter and 220-230v solenoid?

Any help is appreciated, or maybe better options?

Ok, are you in europe? I assume that is the case since you are running it on 240v.

The input has a plug cord on it that you plug into your power source and then you plug the solenoid into that (it's a piggyback) you can see that in the picture in the manual.

That is a link to the manual. Page 2, top image.

It says that it works on 100 - 240 VAC so make sure the regulator solenoid voltage is the same as the voltage you use. Using the plug adapters is ok.

I don't know if this unit uses fuzzy logic. If you find that it constantly overruns the setpoint and it doesn't learn when to turn off the regulator to avoid overrun then you will have to adjust your set point lower to compensate. I don't know, I haven't used this model. I do have autopilots but they are different and they have a fuzzy logic mode for a tank.

Im gonna cut the end and put a new plug, i had to know that it has to be 220v solenoid valve, so i have to buy 220vac solenoid also

I guess you answered my question, thank you man appreciated!

Apparently it hasn’t mentioned if it have fuzzy logic but that’s not a big deal

If you have better controllers that can work in Europe i will be more than happy to know about those.

Well I am not familiar with any European products personally, perhaps someone else will chime in on that. I do think that it will be hard to beat the price on the unit you picked even with any import tariffs and shipping.

Maybe you should brew beer too. The byproduct of the brewing process is CO2.

The question is will the CO2 increase yield enough to pay off the cost of the generator.

The thing is that not the co2 yields more, its all about photosynthesis and lights, as with co2 you can expose your plants to higher ppf densities.

I would recommend to anyone who has the ability to increase light intensity to 1100umol/ms^2/s to use co2 , otherwise consider yourself wasting energy and get less than you expect

Agreed and one must also increase the temperature a little when running the CO2 enrichment and higher light levels. They will drink more and probably want another 100 PPM of feed. All of those variables are connected. Just remember to reduce those levels during the last few weeks to improve density and prevent foxtailing.

It mostly depends on the strain as some strains may have difficulties to transpire water at high EC levels , at high VPD you would better keep the ec lower as long as you don’t see any deficiencies.

I find that EC of 1.8-2.0 with standard water (0.4) works the best in matter of quality and health.

And why would you reduce those levels?
The whole idea is to increase photosynthesis trough the whole run to increase yield and frost.
If you will decrease those levels you would just do the opposite to increased density ,
And about the fox-tailing it shouldn’t form as the plant acclimated to ppfd and co2 levels. (As long as the bud structure isn’t genetically form foxtailing).

I’d better work on building up to high levels slowly, most of the enriched environment see problems when they enrich with co2 too fast and the plants don’t have enough time to acclimate to the changes...

The peak temperature for photosynthesis for cannabis is 30c , but i find that i get the best results at 28, as long as the leaf temperature climbs up a degree or two.

Did you buy this product? How is it working out?
