hi folks, got 8 bubblers running off 4 600w digital ballast lights with cooltubes, a in a and out fan on to a evolution control pannel, spent fortunes on all the best of stuff, (built the bubblers my self) and am now contemplating a co2 set up it works out at a added cost of around £560 pounds for controller and co2 bottle etc, which will be worth its wieght in gold if it produces the reported 30 to 40% higher yields! is this just myth though or can any1 shed some light,

my other prob is would it not be in vien filling a room with co2 then sookin it all ouy with the extractor fan, any opinions or experiences shared would be much appreciated folks

cheers from sqydro.

if your going to run co2 you have to run a sealed room with sealed hoods so you suck air from another room through your hoods and out thats so you dont suck all co2 out

you dont need co2 to pull 5-6 ounce a plant. ideally you want 4 plants under each 600w
make sure ur extraction and intake is up to the job of keeping the room at the right temp with 4 lamps going
as blackburn said you need aircooled seals reflectors and a sealed room to use co2 id go without
