A good extractor fan is the best way to maintain natural levels of CO2, which is all that plants need to photosynthesise properly. A circulation fan (or fans) inside the growroom will also improve the health of your plants by improving their access to fresh air. You don't need to boost CO2 above natural levels unless you are also boosting the other factors of photosynthesis (ie a few thousand watts of light, high temperature and high nutrient). If you don't boost all the factors of photosynthesis, extra CO2 won't make much difference. |

or just simply talk to your plant everyday ... to give them CO2 that is coming out of your nose & mouth.

Ganga is right man I have just gone thrue a hole lot of sh*t with solonoide co2 injection systems There is a lot in it, its a matter of trial and error and tailoring to each room To be honest it costs so much filling those heavy bottles of food grade air And then setting your room for the right levels is difficult to achieve aswell and never seems to maintain a level of 1400 ppm which is optimal growing levels I would recommend you try a growth gas generator easyer to control,Cheaper and produces better 1st time results Would be great for europe with the cold climate a little warmth wont hert If you were doing 4 crops per year it is safe to say you would get 1 extra crop per year using a burnner But more importantly read as much as you can before you invest in a system like this They can be very expensive And if not used correctly can be dangerous The theary is there but it does take a lot of changes to master, Your better of buying another 600hps and having some more plants Its a lot of cost to achieve minimal increase in my opinion good luck man sticky

Hey bren These injection systems have a cycle, The ones i have used inject air for a couple of minutes with a flow setting Then there is a 15-30 min pause for the plants to suck it up Then your relay cuts in and clears the room with the extraction fan Mine extracts for about 2 min Then the process is repeated Use a timer you dont need to pump room when lights are of, But you do need another small fan bringing in clean air And another extracting when lights are of Try and find some info on CGE CLOSED GROWING ENVIROMENT Rooms That will fully explain what your trying to achieve Sticky
