I got a two month old gen with all new fittings and a two year old controller for $200. I couldn't pass it up, otherwise I couldn't afford that gear. I am so over budget as is . But I think the end result will be worth it. All for me and my girl, but I have a really bad back and I can't do another crop in my closet, bending and stretching to do things daily.

collapsable tables may help with the stooping and such......

Thank you DGambler. Finally someone who knows what their talking about!!!

I know most of it but I dont know about co2. never used it.

How long would a tank last in say 15X15 room? (The tall tank)

you would be better off buying a burner than running a tank or multi tanks

if the room has an exhaust(other than the one that runs through the cool tube) how is it "air seal"

If you have a sealed room with Co2, and no exhaust or intake, doesn't that Co2 air get stale at some point? Because there will be no O2 coming into the room at all, isn't that somewhat bad for the plant environment?

Plants take co2 and break the carbon away, using it to build tissue. They release most of the o2 into their surroundings. I've seen it done on massive scale, and am scaling my small room according to that. There needs to be a ballance for it to work, but the range is broad from what I understand. There will be a way to vent air into it when I work. I'm not gonna suffocate.

They last a long time. There is a failsafe that can go bad. It is a temp sensitive valve on the pilot light. You must allow it to heat up by pushing in while lighting for a minute. Once hot, gas flows. If pilot light goes out, it cools and shuts off supply. If it fails, it sticks shut not open so that's good. The burns itself must be wire brushed a couple times a year to keep oxygen ratios proper. As far as how long the gas lasts, in my room it will last four to six weeks, while a ten lb. co2 tank lasts one to two. Refils are much lighter and more subtle to the neighbors too.

I dont use co2 so the passive in an otherwise airtight room keeps all smell within the room,my exhaust is strong enough where if a leak does develope it will suck air instead of push air,negative pressure works just as well as active intake as long as co2 or climate are not an issue.

For my needs co2 is an investment i need not make.

your right panhead... passive venting is just as well as forced. However, you would get a slightly faster air exchange if you were to put a fan on your intakes. But alas, who has money to spend on making everything the best it could be?

big papa had a tutorial on building a sealed room at the old advanced site. i'm not sure if he posted it anywhere else, but it is a step by step "how to" and it was awesome!

It's my first burner. Green air products have been around forever. There are some new water and air cooled brands that are pretty interesting. I have no experience with them.
