    100% with you on this. Its absolutely disgusting... would love to see marketplace, W5 or any other investigative show put these assholes on T.V.

    TNB CO2 mini tanks?

    Shit like this fucking pisses me off. You cannot trust any company... buncha fuckin lies to suck ppl in. Consumer either spends massive amounts of time to figure out if its worth it or gets ripped off. This buyer beware shit needs to stop and companies need to be accountable for the fucking...

    TNB CO2 mini tanks?

    Honestly there is a lot more to Co2 than most are led to believe. I can say without explaining the whole process that this is a money grab gimmick. Its not the consumers fault its the sellers that are trying to make money off well intention people by misleading them. Save your money.

    is co2 worth getting?

    I agree with almost everything you have said. But its not a shortcut to good growing in fact I feel it makes growing a little more challenging and less room for error. Like anything you speed up you get less time to react and creates its own learning curve. Its not for everyone. Once you have...

    is co2 worth getting?

    Apples and Oranges. Not sure what you are saying? Are you suggesting the growth rates of out door exceed that of a sealed Co2 supplemented room under ideal conditions? Whats the intent of this comment?

    is co2 worth getting?

    You might be able to squeeze a little more growth out with a small temp increase. But if its dialed in its dialed in and best left alone

    is co2 worth getting?

    Light will determine how much Co2 will benefit your plant but if you are providing enough I have read as high as 1800ppm+ can be beneficial. Its generally accepted that 1200-1500ppm is ideal. If you don't not have the lighting to drive photosynthesis rates higher Co2 will do nothing to benefit...

    is co2 worth getting?

    Oh the regulator part of it. set the regulator to about 15 psi. it looks like yours is preset but there may be a set screw anywhere from 10-20psi is fine. A single stage can have end of tank dump so a dual stage is better but lets not get into that. Open your tank up all the way, the regulator...

    is co2 worth getting?

    I run mine until about 3 weeks from harvest (i only run 8 weeks strains) and always have so i cannot say definitively but I doubt you would see any difference. Even at 3 weeks before harvest i could probably stop sooner. Basically the extra Co2 provides better rate of photosynthesis and faster...

    is co2 worth getting?

    Yes absolutely can see a big difference. Just not sure i can give an accurate measurement and rather be a bit conservative in my estimations than give a false inflated picture of it. I'm not saying everyone is inflating it, im just trying to be conservative in my estimations. Its not that...

    Hydro setup

    Your not actually putting increased levels of DO into the water you are simply replenishing. The gas exchange happens at the surface from agitation so as long as you are getting decent surface agitation you are good to go. Most ppl think small bubbles will dissolve more O2 in the water as they...

    Hydro setup

    If you are using distilled you will need to reconstitute it. But you may not have to even use it. Google your local water report. Your local water likely contains adequate cal-mag and micro nutrients. So if you go 100% distilled you will need to add cal-mag and micro's like iron, manganese etc...

    is co2 worth getting?

    I don't think i would say quite 20% increase in yields but yes there is a noticeable increase (I see roughly about 15% increase but i'm not a huge number cruncher that calculates watts/gram etc.) . That's not to say its not possible and ppl do not see 20% or higher if everything is dialed in. I...

    is co2 worth getting?

    I set my flowmeter so it takes about 1 hr to reach max ppm and it comes on 1 hr earlier than my light so max ppm at lights on. Then goes off an hour before lights out. I have low flow on my flowmeter so that my readings stay accurate and when the controller shuts off the Co2 the ppm don't...

    is co2 worth getting?

    Yeah exactly what i use single stage regulator with flowmeter controlled by a solenoid and Co2 controller. Looks like a 10lb tank. Might want 2 of them so you can switch out since you probably wont get a full cycle out of it.

    is co2 worth getting?

    I run a Co2 tank in a small sealed grow space at about 1200ppm. It sounds easy to add but it actually changes a lot of variables because its sealed. I grow in hydro and something as simple as moving the air pump is outside my sealed grow space to prevent the formation of carbonic acid in my...

    4x4 600W tent too hot?

    If that's your only exhaust fan then you have no choice but to run it.

    4x4 600W tent too hot?

    Run it 24/7 for circulation just not directly on the plants as you can cause windburn and transpiration issues. For a tent try to create like a vortex so the fresh air is moving in a circular motion and the exhaust is drawing it upwards.Will help keep temps,humidity etc even and harden the...

    Hydro setup

    Wouldn't start Hydro without a decent PH,TDS/PPM/EC meter. The ability to control water temps, hydro nutrients (not organic). PH up/down usually only down is needed but up is good to have on hand. Air pump and stone. A local water report to understand if you have anything to be concerned about...
