Sealed off my room today and got the xl exhale co2 bag in the mail. Room is a 5x5. Is that size bag an over kill for the room size? And are these worth the money? I'm wondering if I should have went with the Pro Co2 bucket.

Co2 will help with growth for sure. But nowhere on that site does it say how MUCH Co2 the bag is making.
Of course they promise it will raise your Co2, because even if it only raises it by a fraction of a percent, it's still more than you had.
I want to know how MUCH it puts out. Not just for how long.

I'm going to get a meter because I'm curious too. I found a chart that states what area each bag is rated for And it's suppose to raise it to 1200ppm if I'm not mistaken

Correction. States "up to" 1500 ppm depending on room size and ventilation

Ok, cool. I missed that. 1500 is a decent number. I don't run Co2 myself so I don't know if thats a good enough number for cannabis, but like i said, it's more than you had.

This is my first grow so I hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew going for a sealed room. But I kind of don't have a choice, needing to be as discrete as I can

My question is can you control the environment in a sealed space? Bag should be fine.

From what I understand, correct me if I'm wrong, if you have enough Co2 your plants can handle a little bit higher temp. I have a 600w air cooled with 440 cfm fan. At the moment I'm not exhausting and it's maintaining around 88°( on a hot day) with a RH 60-70% depending on the weather. I have a humidifier because when I first put in the 600w my rh dropped to 40% by the morning. About fucked me up

One they get some size humidity will be a real challenge and o possible way without a dehumidifier which will also shoot temps up and make a need for an AC.

I run a sealed room and when they are small I need a humidifier. But I pull over 5 gal of water a day out of a 5x5 area of plants once they get going.

Damn. I knew I'd be needing a dehumidifer and a ac when flowering hits. How many plants?

Imo just get a humidity controller to exhaust at a setpoint or a cloudine that has it built in. The co2 will still give you a little benefit. If it's in a small room co2 will build up in there also.

1 thing most don't think of is if you can control temls and environment in a basement they are usually around 1000ppm co2.

I havent used Co2 but the benefits are well docummented. If you seal your tent then heat becomes an issue?? If running fans and filter then all your Co2 just gets sucked out of the tent. What would be the correct setup for this?

What size of excessive lighting would this need to be necessary for?

If these questions seem a little out of place or stupid please just ignore them I was just jumping into an interesting conversation and there is probably a thread somewhere containing the answers to these questions

When i purchased mine for the 5x5 dehuey was rated at 20-30m2 ..sounds perfect but could only control room to bout halfway through flower with 5 plants..it will control a couple plants easily though..it was a 200watter...breville smart dry..will purchase a bigger one to control room better later on.cant think of the one sshz bought but if you look into his grow diarys you will see what one he purchased..​

70 pint Toshiba with auto restart and drain hose set on continuous and run off an inkbird bro... done me well. Think @Dirtbag recommended it to me and I'm happy with it.

Of course this is for smalls grows of this size. The lower the humidity you want the less efficient it is at removing the water.

I’ve seen so many conflicting views about em. I use em at my girls house in a 2x2 tent that’s in a basement. They probably work great for that or maybe even a 3x3 but not a 5x5. Your gonna have to put more bags in there if you want it to work better

Why is Co2 such a difficult issue? Obviously there must be more to it than popping a Co2 cannister once a day.
