    Monitoring CO2 and Air Quality. What are you using?

    I’m looking to add to my grow tent hardware. (Because more is better, right?!) I want to have a better idea of what the air quality and CO2 levels are in the space.

    What are y’all using?

    There are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:
    1) Water level (How much h2o is she drinking in 24hrs)
    2) pH level (change over 24hrs)
    3) ppm/EC level (How much food is she eating in 24hrs)

    I use my lungs. If I can breathe okay then the air quality is good.

      Sorry for the smartass answer but I think most people make this much harder and more complicated than needed.

      I’m all for smartassness 😉
      There are several types of gardeners and several reasons why people grow cannabis. But one thing that is fairly constant among growers is the want to grow good weed. Some growers, such as myself, enjoy the science behind improving grows. The technical details behind the science to improving grows.

      If something as simple as changing my tent temp up a few degrees improves my VPD, which aides in plant health and growth, then it’s something i feel needs to be explored and tried. 😁

      I’m not saying people can’t grow really good weed without making things “more complicated than they need”. Some of us enjoy the complications 😁

    We use the TrolMaster hydro x environmental controller. It's our first grow but it seems to do a pretty good job. Have it hooked up to the rdwc pumps also.
