so ive been doing pretty well in my last 4 flower cycles. ive added yet another 600w in my veg room (2x600's), and still run 3x600's in the flower room. I would like to add co2 to the flower room as well. its a built 8x12x6.8 room with SIX layers of material (on floor/ceiling/all walls) and 4' overlaps on every seam. every screw is triple sealed and taped. I like over-kill, do it once and not have to mess with it later. its a sealed room, minus the intake fan (8") and scrubber. my hoods are off-set from center of the room by 1.5', I have 4 pots under each hood. the remaining space on the side of the room is for walking and working, and I have a couple "side pots" just to get a few more zips out of the cycle.
now ive read im just on the edge of the amount of light I would need to run co2 for the size of my room, but the whole room is not used for plants (off set from center). one friend tells me to run the co2 11/13 (on/off half hr before lights on/off), upon searching it mentioned 15 on/45 off, then cycle the room (air exchange). same buddy says to mount the lines behind my fan and have it blow on the plants, others say wind the lines on top of the stakes and have fan on ground pointing up.
so many people have so many different ways, I don't want to do it the wrong way. im going to do a test run tonight with a/c off, intake fan off, scrubber off, and all 3 18" oscillating fans on and see what my temps are at. read the magic temp is 80-90* for co2.
I haven't bought the co2 kit yet. its either this or buy a 1k light and take out the middle 600w. but then there goes my power bill and I just put in another 600 lamp. lol
