Dank Demons Perpetual 3600 watt LED 18 plant SCROG

I am now officially mother nature of my own growing environment, I control the temperatures and humidity levels, now time to look at a C02 controller and bottle, and start reconstruction. 
Ok I have bought a Unis c02 contrller and found a no questions asked cash in hand bottle and refill supplier, so now its time to ask any c02 users out there if its best to use airline with holes in above the shades falling down over the plants, or around the sides? Thanks for any advice in advance peeps.

I had the Airline Behind (and above) the Fan 
Just to note, the meter I pictured above is made by Apogee; one of the brands mentioned in that article. It says sun-system, but it's made by Apogee. They are calibrated to white light, if you were to compare the PUR ratings of LED @ 700 umol (PAR) and HID @ 700 umol (again PAR); the PUR rating (if we had such a thing for marijuana - we have a rough idea) of the LED would be higher, given the spectrum is tailored correctly. When it takes the reading under the HID, it accepts anything between 400-700. We know the plants are slightly more selective than that, the amount of green and yellow light they can absorb is dependent on how much red and blue light are already being absorbed.... just random rambling sorry DD
LED,s have caused some controversy amongst aquarium owners but seems to be accepted as best solution available now for aquatic growth , not all wavelengths are applicable to canna but much of the info on these sites is well researched and of interest.
When i invested in a bargain second hand Licor i did not realise the par discrepancy with LED light sources , am suprised no manufacturer offers alternate callibration by now , the analyser to measure a diodes output accurately is very expensive and scarce secondhand.

Looking forward to watching your grow DD just sent you a pm.
I am loving building this room in 17c cool temps in the loft when outside its over 29c I can really take my time now and get it right. I have decided to run 6 plants per light so 18 in total with the first run in a SCROG and C02 piped over the top of the canopy and blown up into the sides using oscillating fans each side
You got an engineer to install the a/c? How much did it cost?

GreenPlant
Yep Exactly what I was Thinking DD
I Bet with the Proffesional Instulation that Rooms The Freshest/coolest,etc in the House
Ever leave.Lol

He Harry, I fitted the internal unit on the wall and the external unit on brackets on the wall, I also ran the cabling and pipes from the inside unit to the outside. The cost came in at £100 cash to connect it all up properly and prime and check the unit
It bloody is the freshest, coolest room in the house now mate I just wish I had a/c throughout now lol.
Picked up my first bottle of 5kg C02 for £70 as its a steel bottle its fooking heavy, I look forward to carrying up into the loft lol

Impressive init? Not so Much if you have Moved from NFT but still...
Changing the Water/Media is Great [A Sinch!]
I use a Water Pump and a long Lenth of 13mm Tube Straight to and from the Bath.
A Nice BIG Container to Let Evaporation happen
Hail The Mighty Plug
