Keep watch on that man, hows your bag look??? once it gets a shit ton of mold and crap the co2 comes pourin out! Is the bag all puffed up? Whats your temp? Sealed the room up well right? I have a 6.5x6.5x6.5 tent with two bags and notice a big difference in a tent with and without. My buddy uses 6-8 bags in a room about twice the size of my tents and his meter shows like 1700PPM but i think he should switch to co2 tanks, as it would be cheaper, but hes a weirdodamn thing, had one in a 42 cubic foot room 2 weeks now, according to ppm meter, nothing changed so far
good ol ebayWhere did you buy it from?
i got 4 of these from ezhydro a couple weeks ago for like 103$. I forgot that you cant save them, since once the fungus grows they start producing CO2.I've used Exhale bags before. They seem to worke relatively well but I don't have a ppm meter either. I will still probably keep using them since some co2 is better than none. I searched on on google to find the cheapest guy, ezhydroshop.com, and one of the bags I got was bad. I think they have an old supply or something. I looked recently and saw a place that had them for $30 with free shipping. It was the same company that I saw had some Cyco nutes kit on ebay.
I run 6-8 plants and use Co2 but yeah you are right for a monitor ( a good one not the cheap 150 dollar one cap makes) , a tank ( if you dont have one plan on spending 100-200 bucks for a 20 lb tank) , monitor to control PPM levels , and a regulator. You are looking at around 1,000 bucks. So yeah it is expensive but if you have a small grow and still want to use it go ahead it does nothing but helps. The plants love it and will show you at harvest.It's just mycelium.
A tank and regulator seems like it's more suited for people doing large scale production.
Need tank, regulator, ppm monitor, etc.
people who are doing small scale personal grows (closets, etc) don't want to invest in that. Just buy a bag for 23$ and you're set for 6months. (Well supposedly 6 months....)
Ya tank is better for the long run of things, and if you have a bigger space, makes no sense to go buy 8-10 bags when thats almost a full co2 tank setup. I plan on geting a ppm monitor first, see what my bags are actually doing, then get a tank and really turn things up. I like the fact about the tank is if you get bugs, empty a tank into your room and no more bugs lol, cheap and easy
