One 20 pound tank will last a week or two. Your better off getting a Co2 generator. It uses propaine and burns it as C02.
But since that add extra heat and extra money to dish out. You should get 2 20 pound tanks and exchange them once every two weeks. to get a full bottle. It cost about 30 dollars to fill. Start using them at the end of week 3. There is no point of using it if you dont have extra heat. It should be 28c when the c02 should be on. Get a controller(80-100$) that will turn your outtake off before the c02 turns on. Let the c02 sit in the room for ten minutes and then the fan will take the stale air out.
Its better to do the propane thing because u dont have to heat out and go to the grow store every other week. Its better to make a list and not get followed home. Take a differnt car when you go and dont even think about going to your house afterwards. Dont go in that car you used either.

a few weeks. I heard a 20 pound would last a grow or two.
It will if you seal the room up and think about what you are doing. i have a 5x5x8 with co2 when then lights are on and at this rate it should last 2 grows. the only problem i have is when i keep the room sealed sometimes the humidity gets high and i have to vent to get it out.

it will last 2 or more grows if you are sealed in
you only run it when lights are on
and if you have a monitor it only turns on when you drop below a set level
mine goes on for about 17 min when the light first come on and every 1 1/2 hour for about 4 min
so that total 49 min a day and the c02 calculator says with my room and 1500ppm I will get 174.6 hours off a 20lb tank
so thats about 213 flowering days so thats about 3.3 flower's worth

Maybe thats alot of # and to early in the morning

I am just blasting my plants. I have not yet bought any shit. Wow! The crap works. First time with these strains. But, damn I can tell they are pumped the hell up! Co2 works. Dont listen to naysayers. My plants are getting huge. All I can say. They say 30 - 100 percent gain. Got it.
