I have 2 rooms one next to the other on a 12 hour flip..... in one of them there is co2 but what happens is some of that co2 leaks into the other that is in nightmode/sleeping.... the co2 levels in the sleeping room reaches up to 950 ppm... is that ok, or can that cause co2 poisioning???

Plants only need the Co2 when performing photosynthesis. At night, there are no photons to make the Co2 beneficial. It's therefore a waste to use Co2 at night time. Turn your Co2 on about 30 minutes before your lights turn on, and turn it off 30 minutes before your lights go out for the night too. Co2 during the dark period wont hurt your plants at all, but it wont help them, either.

Good luck!

yes i know that plants only need it during the day but like i explained the co2 enriched air is being drawn from the other room.....from what i have heard u dont want to much co2 at night that is why the monitors have the photo cells to prevent that..... i just want to know if 950ppm is an acceptable co2 level for night time ????
