  • Valve on the tank stays open always. The regulator's solenoid controls gas flow. The solenoid only allows gas to flow when it receives power via a timer or CO2 controller. Thanks for chking out the vid...

  • hi great video... quick question though ... how do you eliminate the odor of grow room meanwhile using co2 enrichment like this??? im gathering research and eventually going to be using LEDs and using a 10' x 10' tent .. any input would be greatly appreciated thanks

  • this video is much more informative than the last one i watched....

  • @tonypltkush I can't shut my exhaust fan off either or my temps will reach mid 90's in my 4x4 tent in short order. The only solution I can think of is to run the light fan intake from outside the tent, and run a separate fan for the carbon filter.

  • @schnicklefrittz calculate how much co2 you need in terms of cubic feet, then set the valve at whatever square cubic feet that will achieve that in about 10 min or until your line freezes up.

  • @tonypltkush looks like a 20lb tank. 1 lb of CO2 is equal to about 8.5 cubic feet at normal temperature and atmospheric pressure. good news is, high temps help the uptake of the co2, so you actually run the garden higher than you normally would. humidity becomes a bigger issue tho. your tent, 4x4x6 is 96sqft x .0015(1500ppm) = 0.144cubic ft of co2. you just need to figure out how fast it uses all that to time the applications. probably like 5-8min every hour. 1 tank would last you a while.

  • Hey man nice video i have a couple questions how big is that tank ? and how long appropriately does it last? and is it worth it using tanks or should i get a generator ?i have 4*4 tent with a 400 watt hps and i have temp problems and have a intake and exhaust running 24-7 . any feedback would really help thanks

  • Nice the dude abides ;)

  • How many cubic feet is that tank and how long does it last? You have a co2 ppm meter that controls the valve.....Y don't you plug the regulator in that?

  • i have the exact same tank and regulator set up, but im still curious to know where the floating ball should be, like should it be on top of the gauge indicator lines or should the ball be located in the middle of the line for the actual flow rate of that specific gauge. also on the flow chart the numbers on the colored part are minutes right? just making sure. cool video by the way. PEACE.
