My experience with a CO2 tank




The initial expense is hard to swallow at around 500 bucks.
$325 tank rental, one time fee, and fill.
$150 CO2 controller
$28 regulator and valve. It’s the same as the vivosun for much less on eBay.

The system has been running for three weeks+ and the tank is still heavy as f and the gauge has barely moved.

I am using this in a closet so a grow tent might be even more efficient.

The refills are under $40 bucks

If you can get over the initial expense, the monthly costs are super low.

With CO2 ppm that high are you pushing the nutes and lights to the limit to actually make it worthwhile?

Makes me think about getting something similar set up after a light upgrade that I think im due for soon.

I push the dli to about 58 and I feed all they can handle and just try to keep the very tips of the leaves a little yellow. Just barely.

All of a sudden my portable AC started exhausting a bunch of it when it was hot.

Mini split time. I will install it myself. Just get the HVAC guy to charge the refrigerant.
