what do i set my c02 flow meter to?? the tent is a 7x7 using 1, 1k light of about 4x4 space..have a 20lb tank, regulator, monitor..everything..last grow..i set it at about .5 and i seemed to run through it about every 10 days...so should i raise it,. lower it?? keep it sticky

There should of been a chart that comes with your regulator... http://www.randmsupply.com/images/link/REG-1instructions.pdf
Thats the link to the regulator I use, but if you scroll down you will see the chart I speak of. Without knowing the height of your tent, I'm gonna guess its 6 feet tall... now lets do some math... 7 x7 x 6 = 294 cubic feet... with 294 cubic feet, if you set your regulator at .5 then it would reach around 1500ppm in 30-35min.
If it were me, I'd set it at a constant .5 and let it rock out... don't forget to set a timer, plants don't need CO2 with the lights OFF, so don't waste it!
Hope this helps.

thanks for the help bro..yea i already knew that..so it was set at .5 this whole time..i have a ppm reader that kicks it on if it gets around 900 and turns it off at 1400..timer is set to come on 1hr before lights turn on, and then the timer shuts off at 1hr before lights turn off..
