Good Idea? Two Tents, Different Cycles.Oxygen/Co2

solarguy · May 11, 2011

i have a room that is 11x10x12...in it i am putting two tents, 5x5...each tent exhausts into the room and pulls air from the same room...question is can i seal the room with the scenario below....thanks ahead of time!

since plants produce co2 at night, oxygen during the day my thought is if i kept the cycles of each tent opposite one tent would be awake and one tent asleep. At any time one or the other is being supplied what the other NEEDS. co2/oxygen from the other....my question is could you seal the room this way? seems like each tent would constantly be oxygen and co2 produced even without a co2 machine...

what your thoughts? could i shut the room door and keep circulating the same air in the room?

We hav gone over this before but your ok going with this setup. But a ac unit and dehumidfier is going to be needed
In the main room that the other tents are venting into.

so would the co2 be a benefit to do the room like this?

I believe CO2 is a benefit to any room its added to, I've never ran co2, just seen grows with and without it.

I think you'd have to measure the amount of co2 that's being put out, to see if its uping the amounts between lights on and lights off. I honestly shouldn't comment on something I really don't know to much about, just my two cents.

I found venting one tent to another gave me too many problems.

r u sure you an do this ? i dont think u can exaust the whole 12 hours the lights are off.

solarguy · May 13, 2011

im not going to vent one tent to another, im going to exhaust into the same room and draw air from the same room. the tents are in the room so while one tent is 'on' taking in co2 the other tent is 'off' putting off co2.

? why not just leave the fans on.

because u are exausting every thing the plant is giving off, not letting the plant use any thing it needs while the lights r off

solarguy · May 13, 2011

that will lead to mold i would think if air isnt moving through there...

are you sure plants use co2 at night?i know they give it off at night and absorb it during the day...

they dont use co2 at night. i never said they did.

solarguy · May 13, 2011

so leaving co2 in the tent at night would not be ideal when i can exhaust it into the main room and into the other tent that is in an opposite cycle therefore needing and taking in co2...

its giving off co2, your talking about co2 here im assuming

a mongo frog · May 13, 2011

no im not. do u know any one exausting the whole 12 hours of the night cycle ? i bet u dont.

solarguy · May 13, 2011

well your not really helping me here so either explain why not to exhaust during the night or move on to another thread.

not exhausting i feel like will lead to mold problems potentially since plants transpire at night. If they do not use co2 why is exhausting a problem? whats the benefit to not exhausting? especially if i have 2 tents and one tent needs c02 while the other tent is giving it off...

a mongo frog · May 13, 2011

i dont know if your serious or not. move on to another thread ? fuck off. im telling u not to do it and your telling me im not helping u.
i still dont know if your serious about exausting the whole night clcle, or are u just trying to get laughs.

dont plants always take in CO2? Isn't that like saying when we go to sleep we give off oxygen and only absorb it during the day? or am i retarded?

people have told me to keep it on bc potential of mold issues and that there is no benefit except saving electricity but the risk of mold is not worth it. You told me not to but for me to know if your answer is legit i asked you to explain why to turn them off.

your retarded, do we go through photosynthesis? no we go to sleep.

because your not letting the stomata do its natural thing. your clearing out the room of every thing even humidity. youll have like 20 percent rh. if your really worried about mold get more fans moving more air.

Why do you keep replying if you don't have an the experience to advise the guy? You are more confused than he is.
