New basementgrow room, co2 freindly!

[Red1966]

I have an xxl hood, it spans the light width wise from one wall to another, and a god two/ three feet length wise. What about heat issues then? My last grow came out killer, but I didn't have co2 or all my controllers so I'm hopin for even better results this time. Changing my feed schedule a little bit too.

Co2 will get you bigger plants faster, but I don't think it does anything for quality.

 

[Tokie-Danks]

my hoods run de lights and they're about 25 inches long and not air cooled. my rooms sealed and i run my co2 three times a day for 15 minutes. i could give a fuck if you think I'm doing it wrong. i have little nozzles on all my occelating fans so it sprays my co2 all over the room. I'm more than happy with my product and yield and how well my co2 works for me. so why don't you go stroke your ego somewhere that its wanted and asked for. your coming off as a pompous asshole just to let you know. yay, you are setting up a warehouse mr. special. i don't grow in a closet either and i love the results i get from using the co2. go shit on someone else's thread ya pompous downer.

I can't find a like button, thanks alien. And I don't have 18 thousand watt kind of money either lol.. Maybe in the future

i do, thats not the point. the point is that your making positive progress and improving your situation and that jerk comes riding in on the baloney pony and starts trashing on the way your running your room like he knows everything about everything and you don't know shit, calling everyone noobs. believe it or not that guy used to be a pretty helpful guy on this website. i haven't been around in a while but he's sure taken a southward turn since he apparently became too cool for school. i don't give a fuck, ill help out every noob thats overwatering, killing em with light, using incandescents, whatever. this site to me is about people helping people. not who has the most lights and inflated ego. shoot me a link to the thread when you start it, id love to follow and see how the new grow turns out. happy NYs.

will do alien, and yeah the ego inflaters can ruin everybody's show. And that's exactly why I signed up for this site, to get help when I need it and possibly help others with what we do.
we need more people like you on here, jus sayin. But ill shoot ya a link when I start up(hopefully less than two weeks) HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYBODY!!

I'm following with interest as I'm in the middle of building a 4'x8' room that that I want to be CO2-optional. I've been told that CO2 will add at least 10 degrees in temp to a room. Did you find that to be true?

 

[Tokie-Danks]

I have no clue yet, but with my experience working with co2 at my job, if exhausted to fast out of the regulator it will actually be colder,ice build up, but these are huge regulators.. 150-250 lbs per hour

 

[Gquebed]

if you have the co2 running you'll do better for sure. shoot for a lb and a half dry. thats a great yield.

Is this based on just the one 600w light?

I ask because I managed to get 1.5 dry on a couple different strains in soilless mix without co2 and 1 x 1000w light ( 4plants vegged 4 weeks.) So I was thinking if that's a 1000w light in that room then 2lbs dry should be no problem with co2.

I was also thinking that Co2 with only one light might not be enough? I should say I know very little about co2, but I've been considering it and from what I've been reading...to get full benefit of co2 it's better to have a lot of light....

Just revamped my old basment grow room, its 120"x81". Closed circuit fan for my hood. In take and outake set up on a c.a.p. Timer controller every 3 hours for 5 minutes and a manual damper on intake (normally closed) and an electric damper on my exhaust, reason for that is so that when the intake/ exhaust fans shut off, the dampers close and prevent air/co2 from escaping the room. Double taped all panda sheeting seems, also sheeted the floor,(socksonly). Also have a c.a.p. Atmospheric controller to manage humidity, and my heater is hooked to it, a c.a.p. Co2 controller. R.o. Filter, 55 gal res. I'm going to be growing out of 8 gallon Dutch pots in an undercurrent system. My room is completely sealed including the door(that I know of) getting a chiller come summer time seeing how I don't need one quite yet. In the video, this was taken about a week ago, I dont have my dampers or most of my controllers installed yet, i just took the video the day i put the panda sheeting and lights up, im putting together the undercurrent system in a few days. Will take a new video and pics then,
Comments appreciated.
Thanks for reading

Nice clean/neat set up you have there. I have a similar set up and thinking hard about co2 as well...

i don't find it adds heat to the room. i don't run a burner, i run tanks though.

i dunno, the op runs 1x1000 under an xxxl, and i run de 1000s. if your getting a lb and a half dry thats pretty sweet. thats what i shoot for. nicely done.

My new additional flower room that is currently a pile of boards waiting for my attention (some assembly required) will be 4'x8'x80". I'll be lighting it with two 600w HPS in 13"x24" hoods. I'm going with the smaller hoods for a more focused lighting.

The plan is to go with 8-10 good-size plants in 5 gal buckets.

 

[Tokie-Danks]

I will be having a 1000 watt light. The one in the video is only 400, it was already plugged in and so forth.. Just did it for the vid. Thanks for the comments thought every body, I appreciate it

I've run that same set up. 4x8x8. with two 600 blockbusters. 7 gal smart pots and 6 plants. i could only pull just over a gpw out of it. but it was soil so theres a little bit lost right there.

Co2 will get you bigger plants faster, but I don't think it does anything for quality.

The real benefit is in a sealed room, not the co2 by itself. Yeah, some yield gains and faster growth happen when dialed in, but the best part is what a sealed room is suppose to be....which is a perfect growing environment. No bugs, no temperature or humidity swings, and if its of concern, usually sealed rooms are pretty stealthy by design. Quality is left up to the strain and grower.

Though vital, co2 is just part of the package, not the goal or the reason.

Get tanks, heat addition is zero.

If you want to highlight the fact that you have absolutely now idea how to correctly implement a co2 system that's just fine with me, just don't represent it like its the proper way to do things.

Three times a day for 15 minutes? 1500ppm of co2 will be completely exhausted by transpiration in about an hour if your room is full of plants and sealed

how wrong can I go with a c.a.p. Co2 controller?? It's a set it and forget it type a deal.

lol damn i gues you werent doing the co2 like legally was, lmao.

 

[Alienwidow]

lol damn i gues you werent doing the co2 like legally was, lmao.

i was really just going from plant to plant with a tank and spraying some on each plant once a day. i thought i might run into troubles lol
