just got back to town. Was out working and i built a bigger room. instead of the 4x4 area that i was using before now i am going to be using a 4x8 room. They have really filled out my little 4x4 area real good. they are going to be happy in there new home. I think i am going to do a water change out before i have to leave again for the week. I think the co2 that i am using sure is shown a difference from my previous grows.

I only use co2 while the lights are on i dont remember ever saying i use it during the lights off but if i did, not meaning to.

I might have just not read enough there bro, just saw the left it on all night part and wondered. The plants really do love their happy gas, and as you seem to have noticed, it doesn't take long to get results with it. Best investment I've made yet as far as my garden goes.

Gobwats i have noticed a difference already. They have a lot more hairs on them and they are gaining much faster then last time. I am finishing up with my new room tonight so they are going to be very happy with there new surroundings. I think i am going to head down to the local hydro store some time today and see about an additive.

Thanks micropro... I cant wait to see either.

norcal woodsman.... The tank is around 150 dollars. It will probably last for about a month. And the cost of filling up is only 20 dollars.

I finally got some new photos of the girls in there new home and they are all happy. I am going to do a water change out probably tonight due to leaving out of town again.

So here is the photos every one is waiting for....:woohoo:

CO2 calcs

CO2 calcs

I calc'd my own CO2 requirements based on a formula from HydroFarm regulator setup.

Here's the spreadsheet all ready to go. Simply plug in your room dimensions (and if you want to change the required CO2 from the rec. 1500ppm for plants) and all the calculations are done for you to set the flow rate.

Hopin, this helps ya'll :)

I dunno if RD is still doing the tests but he is a solid guy I'm sure if you asked him he would be more than willing to explain.

norcal woodsman i am using the co2 every 15 minutes. on for 15 off for 15min... I do not run co2 when i lights are off that would be a waste and it could be bad to run when the lights are off.

loco 81.... They are loving all the room they have now.

I am not sure how much co2 I have in the room i do now have a monitor or a controller. But as soon as i can afford one i am going to get one.
