C02 burner without AC?

Does anyone run a C02 burner without ac? I live up in the mountains where it gonna get cold soon. Last year I just ran my exhaust the whole time the lights where on. Sometimes my big gas furnace would kick on to keep the room about 70 degrees. big furnace kills the humidity inviting spider mites to thrive. plus the hot air on the tops of the colas cant be good for other reasons... i live in Colorado so its dry as hell here. I have a big swamper hooked to a hose and a rH controller that cannot get the rH about 20-30percent lights on. plus another one in the veg room.


I bought a co2 burner because I planned to buy ac. AC quote was like 25k for 8tons with dual stage high seer rating with uv sterilizers. so im not dumping all that cash at once just yet... especially since winter is just around the corner.


I was wondering if anyone just sets their exhaust up on a temperature controller and still runs co2? My furnace uses like 35 amps that could obviously be more lights! So instead of using the furnace to warm the place I was planning on using the veg room and my back up tent to warm the big flower room during its dark cycle and vise versa. I know I will be wasting some C02 but I am guessing it would be cheaper than running the furnace to just be exhausted simultaneously.

What do you guys think? Anyone else do this?

I am excited to get my shit dialed. I have a few pediatric patients that went from over 100 seizures a day to just a few a month. Dispensaries here do not care about the patients who cannot live without their meds. Having a parent tell me that thanks to me they got to meet their child for the first time is my motivation. Having many parents tell you that is priceless... Helping a child with brain cancer get healthly enough to get out of the hospital is a better feeling than any trophy fish Ive caught...

CO2 burner,temp spd controller

CO2 burner,temp spd controller

Mate thats exactly what i did ,during winter in wales ,
i used an elliwell temp control speed controler
it has minimum speed set and rate of increase per deg-c and max speed at tempset
CO2 burner i call propane gas heater cos theyre crap in sealed rooms once they use up your oxygen they chuck out carbon monoxide
But in a ventilated room theyre great ,youll still get some benefit from co2 and some increase in humidity. mixing air a lot with oscillating fans helps

Is it a common problem to run out of oxygen? Filly sealed sounds like a pia.

There's a few ways to set this up. The easiest way though, with the best control over the environment and the best expandable option that has use even when you get the AC unit is an Iponic 600 Environment Controller. They are customizable, and programmable, allowing you to activate ventilation, turn off CO2, and maintain a safe temperature and humidity.

Yes. It is expensive. But, it's also the best damn product in this market and allows for everything you can think of, and everything you haven't thought of yet.

meh i already have a bunch of auto pilot timers for all my needs so far. i rather have one unit go down and be able to limp along than have the whole system go down if the fancy iponic breaks etc. if i did go the fancy route id want one that is controllable from my android while im out and about.
