Trying to add CO2 to my garden purchased a tank with regulator I don’t have anything else but a timer possibly to hook it into will that work and it is a titan regulator
Damn that sucks I was really hoping it be safe to run it in here I’m really glad I asked I’ve been turning it on for 15 minutes at a time couple times while the lights are on not sure if I’m doing it right I’ve just been turning it on keeping it under five on the valveIt would be best to have a control that shuts it off at a set concentration. Also - this is not something to run in a living space. How that enriched atmosphere is vented and where it can leak and accumulate is something to consider. Heavier than air - basements are sketchy application spaces for CO2.
I run co2 in my tent with tank and regulator in a basement, I have a Additional ppm Sensor controller for solenoid and backup co2 detector, I never leave the tank open when I’m not around to hear the alarm even though it’s automated,Damn that sucks I was really hoping it be safe to run it in here I’m really glad I asked I’ve been turning it on for 15 minutes at a time couple times while the lights are on not sure if I’m doing it right I’ve just been turning it on keeping it under five on the valve
if you don’t have two ways to read the ppm don’t run a tank
is there a cheaper way to get two things to check itI run co2 in my tent with tank and regulator in a basement, I have a Additional ppm Sensor controller for solenoid and backup co2 detector, I never leave the tank open when I’m not around to hear the alarm even though it’s automated,
I decided Temps have been too low to utilize so it’s been shut off for this grow.

What are Inkbirds?@XtraGood, I do the same think with just a basic controller and Inkbirds,
What are Inkbirds?
great I’ll look into it for sure thank youIf you are moderately technical - you can get sensors and use a laptop or raspberry pi to run the software.
If you search for MH-Z19B you will find a little bit of a rabbit hole, but it will be fun. Trust me.
The sensor itself is the lowest cost of its kind AFAIK, and is the basis of many projects and products.
So, may I suggest you start there? You could put a monitor/controller together for under $100.
Ok great I think I do I’ll have to check and seeThe sensor does all the work, its actually easy to understand. It outputs PPM on a serial port.
If you have a friend you can trust that is technical, this would be a good favor to request.
