Grow room design with gas heater outside of room for c02

[michael2487]

Excuse the mess been working on this all day, I’ve got a 4 inch ac infinity pulling in warm air from a gas heater in a hall way for night time temps and c02 with a 6 inch ac infinity as an exhaust fan. Inside the room I’ve got 2 630 watt cmh lights I made the room a little bigger so I could deal with heat better and also have room to move around... let me know what you think... trying to get fans and heater dialed in right now

Most wall heaters primary output is CO (carbon monoxide).

Carbon monoxide when gas is not burned, raw gas! Burned gas creates c02... If that was the case a c02 burner would create carbon monoxide

Work in progress, looks like a decent size, but the co2 thing is prob a wasted effort while venting. You would basically have to dose the entire area, I don’t know the setup and I have no idea what levels a space heater can put out.

You need to generate and keep co2 in the room with the plants to be effective, venting with co2 is used at high levels or when the lights are off. You need to fix the light leaks before flower too, that will cause problems. I would focus on the room and do some proper co2 once you have everything setup and finished.

Build the room sealed and collect the equipment, when your ready, yank the vent fans, close the holes and do the change over. You will need ac and a dehumidifier though.

That’s my thoughts anyways..

If it doesn’t generate much then that’s fine with me, I figure it can’t hurt any and I’m able to keep temps in grow room where I want them at night... I just put the door up I’m going to frame it in with 1x4 ‘s tomorrow... This is my first time growing, I also don’t smoke, just a little hobby... running a few with terp tea and also some hempys, it’s addicting

Most wall heaters primary output is CO (carbon monoxide).

If the fuel to air ratio is correct you get a clean blue flame and the output is co2 and h2o. If the flame is yellow this indicates an incomplete burn and this is when you get CO and CO2 plus the H2O.
