I need help creating an effective CO2 and exaust schedule and i was hoping to get some input from some experienced growers who use c02. I was thinking something like keeping my tent at 1500 ppm for 15 min then exaust the volume of my tent and replace with fresh cool air 5-10 times (between 2-5 min) replenish and repeat.Sound good?Is that enough time in a fully enriched environment for CO2 to be useful?Should i exaust less frequently(temps arent an issue)? ANY co2 users with an effective injection and exaust schedule dont be shy to reply.
CO2 users plz help!!!

hey man hows it going..
here is my suggestion, and i suggest this based on my many years of using this method.
convert your room into a CGE or closed growing environment which simply means no in or out vents and the room is completly sealed off.
however if you do chose to do this you need to make shore you have a way to cool your room and warm it when needed. this will allow you to completly completly control your growing environment and also will not allow pest, fungus, or any diseases in your room.
now for the co2 part the only thing you will have to decide is whether you want to use bottled co2 with a regulater or a co2 generator..
the only reason i would not use a generator is if your room already runs hot (above 7
because the generator will add heat to your room..
i personnaly have always used multiple propane generators because they last longer than bottled co2 and i have huge grow rooms..the enitial cost for a generator and a controller is more than buying a bottle with a reg. but in the end cost less.
when doing a cge environment i always use a carbon scrubber powered by a large inline fan and simply set it up in the room and let the air recirculate in the room as this will clean your air..
in doing this you will be able to always keep your grow environment at 1500ppm and not waste any of your co2..
if you have any questions hit me up.

hey thx for the reply! CGE sounds decent only prob is cooling and/or heating as i have limited space(4x4 DR120 growtent) so i was going to condtion the air in the room outside the tent.Thats why I am looking for an effective CO2 and exaust schedule to keep temps and humidity down but also use the CO2 effectively.Any one run CO2 injection?How long is your environment enriched before exaust? How often do you exaust? ANY advice on properly using CO2 appreciated
