Im curious, and sorry if this is posted somewhere in here already, but:

Can you have no ventilation of fresh air, with a co2 setup and your plants thrive?

Hey ray :-)
There are no in or out vents for my room, but my lights are vented with air from outside the room completely seperate from the air inside my room. This works because the room is filed with co2 from my 25lb tank, this co2 is the fresh air, I control temps with an ac unit. A split ac unit would make this room perfect.

i might have read this the other day, glad your online here to talk about it though, good stuff man!

Since its sealed with Co2 supplied, if i made a room like this and sat in it for hours admiring my op, would it be harmfull?

Im not actually doing this anytime soon but it would be good to know. If its dangerous to be inside for extended amounts of time.

oh and whats the differnece in these two ac's your talking about?

Co2 is harmful around 7k ppm for an extended period of time and deadly at 12k I think? I spend time in my room with the doors closed if I can fit or have the leisure time. The highest youd keep the ppm is 1.5k

Window units have a small amount of air exchange and split units have 0 air exchange... perfect, then you gotta get the room nice and sealed.

Split units

So, there is a meter you can buy to measure ppm of co2?

sweet looking air units, i always thought of them as stand alone units, but if there called split. then there split ;)


Another thing, would i need to carbon filter anything if its aclosed co2 system?

Yes, I have a co2 monitor / controller.. fuzzy logic :-) The tank needs a regulator with solenoid valve to plug into the controller.
If smell is anything of an issue its always smart to have a filter. I have one free standing in my room.

thats kinda what i was imagining just having a recycling filter, makes sence. on another note, i see your pretty knowledgeable about horticulture, if you dont know the answer maybe someone else will:

As i look around ppls pics of budding plants, i notice a lot of times they have the yellow leaves on their plants.. Could this be due to a lack of iron?

A dehumidifier is also neccesary.

Some of it is due to people not giving the plant nutes for the last 2 weeks in hopes of getting a smoother smoke but plants naturally do this even with abundance of food in the soil, like how everything changes colors and drops leaves in the fall. My ladies get organic nutes all the way to harvest but I do stop using blackstrap molasses in the end. Hydro ladies got a 10 day flush last run and they were pretty green at harvest but the smoke turned out pretty nice. Its probably a good idea to flush when using nutes with salts in them, it can build up and create issues.

Im just an organic person for now, but i couldnt help to think about all those yellow leaves, and how iron turns yellow "grass" into green "grass" ;)

*oh, and while your here, what causes the leaves to droop or sag on the ends? Plant is merely 2 week's old.

Did you just say you're all organic? Fuck me! I figured you were running some synthetics in there to get all that bulk. Now I'm guessing that the CO2 is just that good of an addition. Well, I know it is... but I still feel like now I need to go back and check your whole nute line... I'm running General Organics for the most part, with some blackstrap in there, too, and Budswell. I'm thinking about switching over to FF from Roots this next round, and adding more perlite (as I'm watering about every 4-5 days and would like to make it a little less), along with some other shit. I've amended with worm castings this round (about a 1/2" on top put in the other day), but know that I could be mixing up a better batch of soil from the get go. . . hmmmmmmm . . . the hamster is on the wheel, Whodat. Now look what you've done! ;)
