Co2 needs for my indoor 8x4 tent.

[Hazyflavors]

I'm currently using an exhale bag medium size for my Co2 addition. I'm running a 1000w-mhl@600w and a king led 4000w with a switch for spectrum.
The reason for this post is to get an idea if I should increase my Co2 or will 1 bag be sufficient. I'm running an 8x4x6.5ft tent.
5 plants total, all early veg. Any ideas without a co2 meter? Hook a brotha up.

The real honest reply is your wasting your money

You need tanks of co2 not bags honestly they do not make any difference

There is not enough co2 in bags.
Incensing the bags size will make no difference except to your wallet

You need a proper co2 system to control the ppm and there’s no bag of co2 that would replace a co2 system even if you opened loads a day

Really it’s infuriating that these bags exist they are there only to con the newer growers

Thanks for the info. I've used these bags before, with success. The yield was down but my plants were able to withstand upwards of 85-90° Temps with no showing issues.
I would like it if you can send me a link to a useful co2 system that would be beneficial. You're right, these damn bags are pricey.
Thanks for the knowledge.

if the co2 use were successful you would get increased growth and yields not lower tho.
co2 enrichment increases photosynthesis at all times (during lights on), even more so with higher temps and higher light intensity.

as Gmix said you need proper tank equiped with good valves, solenoid and a good sensor/controller , also running the growroom sealed for the lights on period, turning on exhaust during night to bring co2 to atmospheric levels and clear the room of toxic co2 levels or other toxic gases that could be building up during the day.

Co2 bags are no good brother.

I have been using a heavy co2 flood for the past few years and it has changed my entire garden. But i have it hardlined into the gas line.. the bags suck you might as well crack the tent entry way and figure out a way to cover any incoming light

I didn’t post yesterday when I read why your using co2 as I thought your just going to think I’m having a go when in reality that’s the furthest thing from my mind.

Cannabis Plants will still grow at the high temperatures you have however the end result isn’t as good

The bags aren’t helping with the temp ; you may as well blow on the plants for a couple of mins it makes that little difference.

I haven’t kept up with co2 parts prices as they used to go into the £1,000s I did have a look this morning and even a controller can cost $400 it’s not cheep and you would need a meter with co2 as to high a ppm can be lethal and to low a waste of time.

You might be better upgrading your exhaust fan

I’ve run hot rooms myself in the past I found superthrive and seaweed helped a tad with the stress but like you the yeilds were down.

I hope you find a way to cool your room as I know it’s a pita.

All the best bud

Besides for investing in a meter/tanks/generators you also need to seal the room. No exhaust fans/intake fans. No cracks/gaps or whatever to allow your co2 to leak out from.

Get a c02 monitor and see what you’re actually working with. Some people are pleasantly surprised to find that their water heater or the amount of people in the living space generate enough c02 on its own.
