@Renfro @DoubleAtotheRON took off the regulator and shut off the tank after lights off today. no leaks from regulator or anywhere. all this excess co2 is the plants doing during nighttime.

now im wondering if i should vent out at nights just to get rid of all this way overkill co2 when the lights turn on. i do lug out co2 tanks less often cause of this though which is a pro.

Wow... I’m going to do my experiment tonight to see if my levels drop, rise, or stay the same after I shut down the AirROS. I’ll keep you posted.

A lights out CO2 level of say 1200, doubles over night, very normal IMO.

Where is your room? Is it near your furnace? You are pulling air from outside the room somewhere. My ppm during lights off is in the 900s

no air being pulled or pushed... completely sealed. no furnaces nearby.

I have a lot of plants 18 plants per 4x8 and 5 4x8s. its just a lot of plants letting go of co2 i guess.

i wish mine was 900 at the end of lights off... but ill take their extra co2 they give off and swap 20lb tanks less often lol.

Theyre giving off insane amounts of humidity too at nights. never had problems like this before with this same OG strain ive been running. im having to put my splits on dry at nights just to control it until the end of the run for the next few weeks.

theyre really healthy its just weird that this is happening with all the excess humidity and co2 at nights. never had these problems before with this same strain.

I had to get another dehuye myself. So now I got 4 running on constant drain. It’s pulling an insane amount of moisture out of there every day. My 24 hour range is about 56 high/44 low.

I'm so confused. I never had a issue with co2 at lights off is 900s, 10hours later it's around 700s. You are definitely not sealed. Everyone I know that uses co2 said the samething. Either you leaking from your tank, your controller is out of whack or you are pulling air from somewhere.

My sealed room goes up atleast 400-500 ppm overnight. My regulator doesn't kick on at all when I'm watering, if I'm out there doing more work It will kick on but I'd say I get close to a free hour at lights on everyday. In mid flower my 20lb tank last a week.

at least 400-500ppm. we're on the same boat. lately when i get into my room after lights just turn on and co2 is at 2k+ ppm i get a little dizzy until they absorb it lol.

next time i do get a co2 controller though.... i want to get the ones you can put in the middle of the room. not the one i have where its reading the co2 ppms from the wall. i feel like thatll be better.

are you still running the home dehumids? i remember seeing a pic you posted of a few home dehumids on top of those stacking metal stands.

Yes.. 70 pints a day each. I’d like to find a good commercial grade one, but I’ve got the environment under control. I suppose when these things shit the bed, I’ll look into one.

Just saw... 225 pints a day. Damn! That thing is heavy!.. I’d have to run another 220 ceiling outlet. I got room on the panel, but I don’t want to spend the electrical and $3200 right now lol!

Kinda why we bought the AirROS.... that was $4700. We shouldn’t have any mold problems, but this round will tell the truth after it hits the labs.
