Ok heres some resized pics from yesterday. I set the nutes to 670 ppm and a ph of 5.8. I also added a 1/2 of dose of zone and 1 cup of add.27 just to use it up.

See how light the cocos are. Im thinking they need calmag I didnt think they would need it with the 200 ppm tap water Im using. What you coco heads think.

A little root

Ok Im thinking of making the switch to co2.
Ive never used it only know about how to use from the site. If I decide to switch Im gonna need some reconfiguring the room to work for the co2.
First off Im thinking of getting a burner and running a natural gas line. Any recommendations on what kind to get?
Second Im gonna need to seal the room. You think if I use some great stuff and spray in between the cracks in the floor boards on the ceiling that would be good enough.
Third Im going to need a controller. I was looking at the sentinal co2 controller. I already have a cap a/c dehu controller. So any help there would be great.
Fourth Im going to need a bigger a/c. Im thinking of getting a 15k btu window unit and venting out the house. Is this big enough for 2600 watts.
If I do all of this is the rewards going to be worth it. Im thinking its going to be around $1500 to set up and about 8 hrs of work.
So shoot away and talk me into upgrading. I wanna here some thoughts to see if its worth it to me. I confident that I can pull around 4.5-5 lbs out of this room just the way it is. So if co2 can boost that to 5.5-6 lbs thats the shit.
Thanks for any input

You'll recover your $1500 investment guaranteed.

I'll have a quality report on the Sentinel burner tomorrow. Seems like the perfect pairing to their CPPM-1. Their smaller burner is probably plenty for your space.

what size is your current a/c? 15k for 2600 watts aircooled?? right. that should be well over enough.
 
#33
I only have a 5500 btu right now. Its all I need. I should be shutting that down this week as well since its starting to get colder up here.
Fresh If I get a 50# tank how long you think it would last. I could actually buy 2 so I dont have to go in and out with em as much. One way to reduce heat I guess.

BG....looking good.

If at all possible, position your chiller with the heat exchanger facing away from the plant modules......the heat being pulled from the nutrient is displaced out the backside of the chiller.

Keep up the green....sir Big.
 
#35
I would get your chiller completely out of the grow space, it is a heat/humidity killer and causes your a/c requirements to go way up...

When you inrich the space with co2 it is also recommended that the air pumps for the UC unit be outside the enriched space in order to keep from pumpin super co2 air into the rootmass of the plant. I an switching to airpumps that have a sealed intake line that I can route from outside the space and that should help curb the prospective problems.

Looking real nice bro.
Cal\mag is always needed in Coco.
Atleast thats what others and I have been doing.

Sound advice as usual.....

Only draw back I've seen with the hose intakes on air pumps is the diminished output once the input run exceeds 3 ft. Seems diaphragm driven air pumps push air better than they pull.....this said it may be best to just set your air pumps in a cool spot just outside the grow as TK suggested.

If using remote intake on the commercial models it may be best to pump air into the inlet hose via another pump outside the space, using the air pump in the room escentially as a booster pump.

But with as much heat as those commercials put out I'd think having those outside the room would be best.

Thanks for stoppin in everybody

Ucmenow I wasnt to worried about the heat poopin out back. I never really have a problem with heat. Now I have the room next door for veg probably gonna put the chiller in there.

Tex Im still contemplating co2 but it sure does sound nice. Then I would surely have heat issues. If I take the plunge Im going to put the pump in the veg room.
Good advise

Bossman thanks I figured the tap would be enough. Im using calmag from now on.

Im skippin town for the weekend excited to not see em for a few days them come home to little bushes.
Ill update when I get home

dude I really think you should just get 3 50# tanks and that would last 3 solid months if you get your room sealed up nice and tight.


I use 110l air pumps with an intake hose but I just get the hose like 3 ft off the ground. If there was co2 being pumped in then the ph would be swinging. which it doesn't.
but I also rock high 70's for my rez temp

One time though we had a burner mounted over an open rez and boy we could never get our ph right till one day we figured it out.
