Generally with Co2 you are not exhausting the rooms air. That fan looks like it's just circulating air. A bottle in there would last a long time.
Plants look good but no fresh air intake?

i have a 4inch intake fan that pulls alot of air into my tent. i leave it on 24hrs because i am running 1 hps 600w light and 1 mh 600w light so it gets about 90 degrees if it turns off. however i have my c02 go on every half hour for 30 min and my exhust turns off but my intake is still on. this is in a 4x8 sun hut, is it bad that i have the intake fan on when the c02 is on. its set at .5 cubic feet an hour for 30 min on 30 min off and then off when the lights are off the c02 is off.

I can help someone set up their Co2 but I'm far from the authority. I don't think the intake will bother anything. If your tent has some leaks that intake could push some Co2 out. Having the Co2 is a nice boost to what's already there so I think you're fine.

You could run a hose to the back of your fan then the fan will spread the C02 out for you
Does it oscillate?

I don't think I use enough Co2. The guys say my bottle while in the middle of flowering I should be going through it in a week. I'm at two weeks.
I'm sure I'm in the 1000ppm range.
There are really test strips for this? I remember that from a previous post.

They never want to tell you the easy and cheap method. Thanks dude. I'm gonna run a few tests and see what's up.
found a pretty cheap one, ... http://www.planetnatural.com/cgi-bin/planetnatural/co2-tester

Getting better with this camera. Still have to try it out with lights out. My last group of pics should have never been posted. These look better. Not perfect though.
Doing much better for sure. If she were a car I'd say she has nice lines. The last pic is my favorite.

Maybe you did Ruva. My first 3 weeks with this grow were a huge learning curve. Any advice I get is from here or from buddies up north who are all hard to reach ever since they got kids. So I was scrambling a bit and may have missed your suggestion.
That last photo looks like it should be on a T Shirt or something
I'm gonna show it to my brother in hi res and have him shit on it and tell me why it sucks! he's a film and video dude for a major music magazine.

Currently exhausting the 20lb bottle in 12 days. Dudes at the shop say 7 days max for my room. I might kick it up a notch.
Edit- ok this is officially a Green Crack Ghetto Grow too. I got a few rooted clones of the GC...remember I yanked them in the beginning. Here are two. Looks like another one is going to added as well. I'm gonna stick three under this 250mh. Lets see what happens. I've never done a closet grow. GE bulb too. I'm actually really excited about this one. Light, soil and nutes will be under $100.
