*crap no a/c, well you can circulate the air to cool it w/o the scrubber part.. the smell detergent thing isnt too costly, that should help maintain those c02 particles.. besides.. with adequate amount of c02.. temps can actually be around 85+ (had a grolab tent finish w/o probs.. running 86-91f) :) ..just watch out for humidity when its that warm :)

well the vacume pulling through the tent is through the scrubber venting through the lights then outside, so shutting down would be ok for a bit right when
the lights turn on but how much exsposhure do plants need to be a benafit?

*well that depends on how dialed in your setup is.. 'usually' when temps are 73-81f.. amb hum is @t 44%.. thats how stomatas like it ;) --usually.. not sure, i just cut&paste..
--so if those presets are maintained 24/7 then your plants will 'eat' 24/7:)

well hell cant wait till you implement C02 to your set up you will have just gained 35 - 40 percent more yield from seeing some of your pics you posted there goin to be dang nice sized as well jst do your self a favor and buy a real good regulater mine froze cock stiff lol there like 200.00 for a good one

Put the CO2 on corresponding with ur dark periods. Dark periods also are a bit cooler which is perfect for the opening of the stomatas to absorb CO2. the plant is a c3 carbon fixer

did you ever get around to switching out the big kahuna for the cool tube? howd that work out? sacrafice foot print for seal?

The plants aren't photosynthesizing during the dark periods why would they need the CO2?

Your plants can handle up to 1500ppm of CO2 with an average rating being about 1200. You can get a calculator Here is the link to one.. I was told by a fellow grower that you turn off the exhaust. Wait 5 in, drop for about 15 min, really getting the desired ppm. and wait 5min and begin exhaust again. He stated that there is really no benefit if you aren't recirculating the air. You would be exhausting most of the CO2 anyways as soon as you turn your fan back out to vent.

Just making sure but could you afford to recirculate everything and maintain CO2? Everything I have read says that high temps are beneficial with CO2 supplementation. Even A/C in the ambient air around the tent would help.

well im working out a plan to make my lights on a closed loop from outside to ouside to eliminate the need to vent as often. I will still have to
run scrubbers fom inside the room to outside but not as often, so having it off for a hour right as the lights come on will be fine maybe 2hr
:) and cycle it off later in the light cycle. hopeing this will benifit my girls and give me this 25% increase

:hump:There are a few PPM monitors/ controllers out there. C.A.P is everywhere.

If you are on a tight budget it is easy to regulate yourself, I have heard. I didn't get CO2 recently, because Shadowcat(the hydro guy) talked me out of it. He said for a space my size (4x4) it wasn't worth it, with the amount of air replacement I have and the air movement in my tent. Even though the air is still at the ambient level the plants are getting a constant stream of CO2, because the air pocket around the stomata is always being replaced by new air.

With your larger setup it would be a dream. :hump: I am looking forward to updates on your CO2 quest, sir!

i always thought stomata work like root hair pores, the colder the more closed they are?? but am forgetting you guys have temps same all day , but since you use hid (not the wiz) wouldn't your temps drop like 10 +? , never used CO2 Btw just have fermenting sugar in my veg box cuz the circulation is bad

Very nice. I love the addition of the tomato cages. I'm using a few myself to make some portable mini scrog's. Keep up the good work!

HR had any experience with the Tri Meter brand meters? There about 100 bucks less than the guardian but if there anything like Tools you get what you pay for? Sold a ton of little hannas and ecotesters and have seen the miserable failure rate on them. Also if im reading your early post right about your tents. Besides lighting and hydro system I need 1 or 2 can fans a filter co2 source a sniffer possible chiller and A/C if I have heat issues anything else im missing? temp and humidity meter. few wall mount fans. hmmm what else
