perfect temperture when using co2?

[STFU]

Are Mr. Slims splits? You got room don't you? How many of you guys have to use chillers because of the higher temps? The whole co2 gig seems to require a good sized budget to do right.

 

[Mr.Tortoise]

To do CO right need a close environment which means you have to get ride of heat somehow. If you are in hydro and running higher temps then you need to cool your solution down as well. For me running CO2 is going to be about $1500 for the equipment and an extra $500 for ac for my setup. But were I am it gets too hot in the summer to cool everything down without ac. If I don't run ac I have to shut down for 3 months. Which wouldn't be the biggest deal. So really I just needed to buy a bigger ac really to handle the heat from the CO2 burner.

It really doesn't make sense for people with smaller grows. But people with larger permits or commercial growers the added cost can quickly be offset by increased yields and efficiencies.
