I have a 3-panel ceramic wall furnace that is set up for LP gas. I need some heat in my flowering area when the time comes (soon). Will the infra red light interrupt the photoperiod?
To answer your question ... I dunno.I have a 3-panel ceramic wall furnace that is set up for LP gas. I need some heat in my flowering area when the time comes (soon). Will the infra red light interrupt the photoperiod?
It's not a jerry-rigged wall heater. TTo answer your question ... I dunno.
The only way to know for sure is to just do it.
Watch for nanners or balls and IF you see them you'll know why.
Or just go full on 'preventative' and light shield it somehow. (which is my default - prevention).
What I am more concerned about is you killing yourself with too much CO2.
Do you have a controller on it that shuts off when you get to the right PPM for CO2?
Do you have a method to measure the PPM of CO2 in your room?
800 ppm is the sweet spot for PPM of CO2
1500 ppm will damage your plants.
2000 ppm will give you a hell of a headache.
3000 ppm will kill your plants.
7500 ppm will kill you.
It's a heavy gas, accumulates at the floor -- so when you pass out, you are in the soup.
This is one of those things that if you can't do it right - don't do it.
And jury-rigging a wall heater ... well, it doesn't seem safe to me.
There is two things I don't play with in a grow setup.
Electricity and toxic gas.
It's not Jerry-rigged. It is marketed and sold (UL listed) as a ventless wall furnace for indoor areas outside of small air tight spaces. I'm not using it to heat a closet while I read a book. I knew the CO2 level resulting from LP gas combustion would rise. The stuff I've read sounds like CO2 is what MJ likes to breathe. I'm sure there's a ppm limit where benefit turns to harm. You shed some light on that with your reply. Something I need to consider for sure.To answer your question ... I dunno.

NopeYou guys surely mean carbon monoxide, not carbon dioxide. Plants don't like carbon monoxide

why don't you just get a co2 burner from a grow store?I appreciate the good information guys. In light of that, I will find a safer way to heat my grow room.
I heat with a wood stove all winter here in Michigan. Need to figure out a duct system, fan w/thermostat to get more heat from the stove into the grow room. Been using a fan to blow warmer air into the room. Its not keeping it as warm as I'd like.
When propane is burned it produces C0 and H20.Propane not natural gas, ok. That may help the responses. I have natural gas heaters here, wondering what they will do to humidity and will study it next week.
