Yeah I am sure you are fine, at least here in Los Angeles not even Parole officers come to your house, you always go to them.

Shit I am just adding C02 and running 85F, figure if I have to pay for something let it be C02 so I can run higher temps.. :) I might try them at 90F too, this way powdery mildew can't attach..

Sorry Smokey I should have been a little clearer. C02 generators do add heat, but that isn't what I meant. You can run bottled C02 and it doesn't add heat.

When running C02 you can run higher temps in your room. Curently I am running 72F maximum, but with C02 that would be 80F minimum. Some strains can take much more heat with C02 though and if that number landed in 90F or more then mildew can't grow anymore. Unfortunately then you need to cool your res if you are running a water system, water temps over 75F are almost a guarantee you will get the funk, higher water temps give you root rot, too low of dissolved oxygen and etc. So you would need to chill it.

Best of both worlds is to either co-locate your res where it is cool, run a chiller or simply grow in dirt.

So what I meant is rather than cooling my room from 115F in the summer all the way down to 72F, I will instead run C02 and only cool it to 90F. Then the money I would have spent cooling my room, will just be for propane instead and much cheaper. The kicker is I get 30% or more increase in resin production and yield as well. So I am sealing the room up tight.
