I finished up the CO2 phase of my grow room and I have to give props to CO2 Meter | Carbon Dioxide Meters, Sensors, Monitors, Data Loggers - CO2 Meter for their help and there great products. Their support, thanks "N" and "J" is fantastic. I bought their CO2 meter, the brains of this rig, a while back and recently purchased their tank regulator to go with the meter. The neat thing about this rig is that the meter reads the CO2 content of the space and it turns on and off the regulator to whatever ppm you want. Default is 1000ppm but I have it set at 1500 ppm which is optimal for the plants. The solenoid piggybacks on the plug in of the meter so the meter is in control of the gas. There is no guess work with this rig, no timers to fuss with, and with the formula from Hydrofarm — CO Flow Rate Calculator the amount of CO2 and the rate needed are right here. Just plug in your room size and HydroFarm does the rest. I cannot emphasize enough,the importance of CO2 to the health, growth and volume of your crop. I've grown with and without CO2 and the difference is very noticeable. It took just a few minutes to tweak the system and it has been up and running flawlessly for 2 days. IMHO this is the best bang for the buck and I KNOW its working as advertise. I tried several other methods but this works for me. I just need to quit peeking in and checking on it and the girls. LOL Oh yeah, the girls are thrilled and look "electric" with leaves pointing upward sucking in the CO2 nutrient.
