The source of co2 has always been a tank with titan regulator and titan controller. I even went as far as replacing both with the same suspicion of ethylene. Although to my knowledge a tank and regulator don’t off gas anything.

Pots are 7gals, watering practices are old school I do hand water but I’ve been hand watering for years with great results elsewhere. Again I’m not the worlds greatest but I am confident with my ability to feel out and know when a plant needs watering.

Nutrients I run are Athena pro line salts at 1.5ec along with cleanse a hypochlorous acid product they have in order to keep the roots clean and healthy.

This is the only photo I have currently of the room but any details needed I can provide. I think it is worth noting this is a basement and there is a furnace, hot water heater, dryer etc outside the parameter of the room.

I will look into the gas appliances my furnace and hot water heater are fairly new within the last couple years but the dryer is aged.

I have taken ec measurements but I do get good runoff with every feed so it’s never anything more than slightly higher what the input is .1-.5

I do feed comparable to soil I would say yes.

I have seen a decline in need for water and a decline in need for co2 I say that bc while other places my tanks had always been clicking on and off frequently, I never see that in this room it’s to the point where spending time in the room will actually increase the co2 on account of my breathing it seems they’re just not taking in very much.

These genetics are from clone I’ve run them elsewhere and even given them out to other growers in my community and they perform very well continuously.

This room is about 3 years old now the first two years were a growers dream couldn’t have asked for more, last year was a complete nightmare. I’d say I’ve completed about 15-20 grows in this room the last 4-5 or so have encountered the same issue no matter what I try and change or what equipment I suspect might be at fault. My area has not really encountered cooler temps than usual, no. I do not have any ability to exchange air wether in be intake or exhaust but this is not the first room I’ve designed like this. I’ve designed many for others and this is the only one to encounter this issue. Believe it or not many people call upon me for help lol but I’m at a loss at this point and just looking for any insight before I call it quits.

Water source? Sodium salt does similar to potassium. City switch something?

I will look into ventilation and air exchange to try and rule ethylene out of the equation.

The water source is city water it comes in at about 150ppm or .2ec, as far as what’s in it or if they’ve changed anything as far as buffers anyone’s guess is as good as mine. I do run air stones for quite some time in the water beforehand to try and off gas some of the chlorine the city may be putting in it. Worth knowing that my friends all throughout the city have no issue with water whatsoever.
