Co2 monitor sensor ppm reading

MisterKister said:

Get a co2 ppm meter and figure it out.. I have 2 air-airconditioners one is a duel hose the other is a single hose both running in the same tent and I haven't noticed a drop off of ppms the single hose is outside of the tent completely and I have a vent hose running into my tent thats attached on the blower

I got the co2 monitor and controller on the way. So your single hose goes into your grow area ? Is it sealed ? And how’s the air pressure ?

So maybe I could put it in the wall and have a small extraction fan on the ceiling above where the ac is and vent it into the attic? Do the window ones blow hot air out or does the back of the unit juts get hot?

The window ones blow extremely hot air out the back. Thats why i said a 10 or 12" fan. Vortex style. There is way too much heat for the way you are talking.

Its positive pressure but my tent is sealed pretty tight if I run my duel hose alone its negative pressure

The quicker you get this figured out jack , the quicker ill be running co2... hurry up! nah , im kidding. im ready but dont even know where to start besides sensor and tanks/burners.

And positive pressure is fine on the girls ? Do you exhaust your room at all ?

I’m trying bud lol! Think guna juts stick with my ac I have now and see how the positive pressure plays out. If I can keep my ppm high and don’t burn through co2 too quick then il be happy

positive pressure is fine on the girls. has no affect on them at all. That just means if its not sealed 100% , you will smell it on the outside , and other obvious reasons.

I've never heard about negative vs positive on the health of plants. Negative pressure is better for smell control though if you have it on a scrubber. I have a scrubber inside of my tent to recirculate the air so it keeps the smell in check

May have to do this, do you juts have the scrubber freestanding in there or do you hook an exhaust fan up ?

It's free standing I have it on the bottom of my tent blowing up towards the top since c02 is heavier than air

here's my girls with 5 weeks to go

I'd say its a little bit of heat stress but thanks for the compliment

I have my 8000btu a/c window unit various settings setting up inside my 3x6x9 closet hydro grow I'm using a 1000w de hps with inline ducting and a exhaust fan. I noticed when I run it on a lower setting it doesn't put much heat out the back but in that space it regulates its on temperature with the while keeping the room cool but it's up out from the wall in the back.
