Hey man, I did it the cheap way, take a 2 liter and mix in some yeast and sugar, add some tubing and there it is. Real cheap to make, I noticed a big difference. SDC10971.jpg you can see the tubing setup between the buckets. and its just connected to a 2 liter bottle which i shake every other day

controler, co2 bottle, regulator. in saying that your room should be eqiped with an a/c, dehumidifier, and a carbon filter scrubbing system or a burping style carbon exaust.

I run a 2 litre bottle and mix 1 cup of table sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of yeast in warm water. Add a squiggley fermentor gas release thingy you buy at the wine making store and wella a co2 generator for 3 days or so.......

yes they cost a little, but u need one. youll have the best room around. for sure. craigslist might have something. i think u need the chhc4 from sentenial. or maybe something less might work.
u just want an automatic shut off of co2 when u have the amount of co2 u want, and a meeter showing u ppm.
how many lights do u want to run?

hey if you had a room thats completely air tight could you put a plant in there with a co2 hose hooked up and an oxygen tube so you can add how much is needed, doesnt matter how big, could a plant live. you wouldnt have to use alot of oxygen cause the plant would produce it from the co2. am i getting that right?

I never saw benefit from co2 in "small" space....really need to have temp and humidity controls dead nuts before ya can benefit from the co2. I rtied everthing when I was using a tent...and not until I built a room, with a sealed environment, a/c, humidity control,

your reading alittle too much into it. basically its a box with an co2 and air hose so the plant doesnt keel over. i want to try it to see if it works.
