I am going to use a large charcoal scrubbers, This is where i am in a bind. i would like to keep it all a internal systems with no blow off to inside of the building. Is the possible or will cooling that air for reuse just be realistic? Looking for 2 Cheap propane C02 Gens for both the rooms too, Best methods for climate control too.
I would like to start off by saying thank you for your service. Secondly, I have seen a few videos on the internet and done some research about water cooling with a heat exchanger and chiller. You can either use a minisplit ac or from what I have read chillers are more efficient than ac units. Here is a link to a youtube video explaining in detail what I am talking about. You can recycle, clean, and cool your air in one set up.

Thats exactly what I am doing when I set up my new space. A buddy has one and it works great and uses much less electricity than a mini-split system. On the co2 question....you will definitely get more with co2 but if you don't have the cash for it right away you can grow great cannabis and get great yields if everything else is working properly and you have a good fresh air intake. I have never ran co2 and have been getting a lb per 1000w light.

I ran the same strain for years, then added co2 and sealed the room, same everything except I put the glass on the hoods I had and added my co2 setup and bang, 20% more yield, did that for 2 more grows, stopped co2 and lost about 20% yield. So now for the last 5 years, I've been running co2 because it obviously works. I've been invovled in agriculture and plant life for over 30 years now. I dont need a scientist wearing a lab coat to tell me that it fucking works.


Now co2 may or may not work with the OPs plans as far as ventilatin and whatnot goes, but thats not what I was addressing. You made the comment that co2 didn't increase the yield enough to make it worth it AND that it was complicated, so I called bullshit on your ignorance.

I've actually done alot of fucking around with co2 and temps, humidity, etc. I don't just get on here and regurgitate what I read on some other thread.



Sentinel CPPM-4. Ran me about 500 2 years ago. Im sure you could find a nice clean unit on ebay or CL or like. I keep my temps at 86-88, 1200ppm co2 and 40-45% humidity. I tried both with co2 and without co2 doing grows anywhere from 75-90 degrees over the years. When I wasn't running co2 the ideal temp range was a tad lower, being 78, again without c02.
Gettin' all gangster. But yes, this guy would be correct.

Hey Kronsizzle, you ever notice any reduction in smell when running higher temps? My finished product was soo much better when I cut the temp, lowered co2 to about 700 and raised the lights in the last week

Just curious

I cut temp at the end too. Usually 70f during the day for the last 7-10 days. Smell? Well, during veg I notice the smell is at higher temps. During bloom... well.... stuff stinks regardless so im not really sure if I've noticed any difference to be honest.
