Using Paintball tank for co2 indoor grow.

[KarateChopMaster]

I'm a beginner so take it with a grain of salt but I got this setup that I just want to share if anybody was thinking about co2 options. Everything altogether was about 60$ on amazon, I think this can be really good if it works the way I think it should I'm going to increase the tank size as long as I can adjust what I'm putting out.

Share it for the co2 guys. Like to see how you regulate it. Don’t suffocate yourself lol.

Um aren’t you just opening the tank?

Is the tent sealed?

I can meter as much or as little co2 as I want with that valve its a refill valve from Amazon and it's a sealed tent I usually open the tank a little and just let some seep out as I'm getting ready for work then shut it off, then do the same thing for a few minutes after work. This is the first time I have tried this but it was only about 60$ for the whole set up so it's worth a try I just need to refill the tanks every couple weeks, ill post pics during flower if it's working.

What you’re failing to understand is that you need to be able to accurately measure the amount of co2 in the air. Not just crack a valve and call it good.

But if your environment isn’t sealed, all that shits going to get sucked out of the room, by your exhaust fan.

Then you need to dial in your environment for the added co2. Which includes your lighting and feeding. Since you can run a more aggressive/powerful feed schedule and more intense lighting.

I don’t grow in a sealed environment with co2, but I’m pretty sure there’s a bunch of crap I’m forgetting.

If others felt like a reply is worth the time, they can explain more. ButI have a feeling this thread’s already dead.

Edit: you say your tent is sealed already. So absolutely sealed? No exhaust or intake? Just curious.

Without a co2 reader you are just guessing. With a co2 reader you are probably going to be pretty disappointed with this rig.
