You really should get a Co2 Controller? On a timer for 10 mins is 2 long?
I got a Titan 8 burner in a 12 x 11 x 8 space and it kicks on for less then 30 sec every hr or so. PPM's stay right were I tell them to. If you can run a sealed room and vent the lights from out of the room to out of the room your gonna be way better off.
Robz 88-89 degrees is too warm even if you are adding Co2 to your environment.
Most strains grown in high temps don't yield as well or get as frosty.......
Even with Co2 I would never let that room go over 82 degrees,if you're looking for top yields and quality....
Ive considered that option. Really I know I'm going to have to get an atmospheric controller to make it all legit. Is it ok to keep your co2 levels at 1400 ppm for the entire light cycle if temps & humidity are kept in check? In a sealed room for instance?Robz you might wanna consider hooking up an AC and dehumidifier to an environmental controller to
mitigate the temp and humidity spikes
when the burners on....

I agree that no atmospheric controller is needed. It does take some adjusting on a nightly basis to dial in your temps depending on what the ambient temperature is. I adjust it up to 3 times a night sometimes as temps drop.
As far as running the generator during lights off, I think it is a waste. Your plants do not transpire enough to use excess CO2 at night. Therefore, you are wasting propane running it lights off. Just set your controller or generaor to a timer to go off when lights go off.
I eventually want an atmosphereic controller. It would be nice to not have to make so many trips to the room to dial in temps. I'm anal about my temps. Have to be anal about alot to grow THE dank.
Your AC wont keep your room at the temp you set it at during lights off?? What Kind of insulation have you done around your room so that ambient temps aren't such a factor.
Oh yah, you can add burners to most CO2 burner units. Mine (Gen 1 by CAP) comes with one burner but has capacity for four. I bought another one ($30 at hydro shop) and found that 2 burners is ideal for my 11x12 room.
