True that, cheapest I found was 180$ 20lbs tank and 15-18$ refills, I didn’t count the tank as expense because you eventually keep it and you can sell it to another growmie or anybody more or less on fb marketplace and get 100-150$ back easily so the actual net loss is roughly 50$ but you get to keep the tank for as long as you need it, they do swaps so at the moment you are done you will have a random 20lbs tank but if you are going to the hydroponic store they are all certified.
Ps if you add the co2 meter and monitor you ll add 150$ in my case but again you can sell them too and hopefully get 100$ back so overall you invested 100$ to enrich co2 to perfect levels and times, have a 25-50% yield increase on all your grows and have an automatic setup that will leave you free time to enjoy other things you like. That’s the reasoning I did and as far as market options it felt pretty solid for my situation.

I got it for 45 on Amazon or ac infinity website, use a discount code like Mrgrowit15 or canucks or any of this guys to get 15% off so you get it for cheaper, now that I think about it I got in on Amazon because ac infinity charges shipping for 16$ or something so it wasn’t worth it since I only had that thing to buy,

Okej soo almost 300$ to start. Best case scenario you have an aquarium you can use all this equpment when you are not growing.

Do you have a co2 sensor if your valve breaks and kills you in your sleep?

Damn bro you got dark fast ahah, no not in the lung room, you raise a good point tho, I will check to see if there’s a cheap one to put outside in the room, I do not sleep in there but yeah safety is a valid reason to spend 50$ on a cheap monitor

Don’t know about acquariums honestly, but I look at it this way, average price per g at dispensary of good stuff is 10$ or more but we ll say 10. So if in one grow you would have grown 300gs but with co2 you grow hypothetically 100 more that’s 1000$ that you would spend, now I don’t sell and don’t even smoke that much so I am speaking from a hypocritical pov, but you would make 3 to 5x on your money and possibly more already from your first grow

My 5$ a month looks cheap now XD
dang those candles will run you only 5$ for a whole month? if you really getting 1200ppm constantly that's honestly very good, I had to choose an automated system because I do not wanna be hands on daily as I might wanna take up to 2-3 weeks vacations or so and if it happens to be during flowering I might miss out on a lot yield. If it works for you and you are having fun growing your way that's what matters bro

How do you keep the lamp optimal if you are gone for 2 weeks? My plants usually grow 2cm a day.after 2 days they start burning
you mean how do I manage the plants growing into the light?

If is that I do it from my phone, I have a Anleolife 400w that can be connected to the vivosun growhub to change spectrum and intensity, so I know that at x distance I have 500ppfd for example that I measured with my ppfd monitor and if they grow 5cm taller it will be 600 or so lets say, so If I am still in veg and wanna keep it at 500ppfd I will just go in the app and lower the light % from 80% to 68% or whatever these are just examples. I can do it this way because the led is strong and I don't need to move it up or down, I just keep it on the tent ceiling and regulate intensity.

To do it properly I would have to install a camera in the tent but i don't find it that necessary, I might just want to be cautious if I need to go away from the garden and I just flipped to flower, in that case a camera pointed to measurements in the growtent inside fabric would be optimal so you know whats going on due to the high stretching of that phase but since I didn't yet have the need to be so accurate I won't be getting one for now
