hum.. true clowntown, but could careless whether or not people really cared :p Just adding my opinion. As you know I got a few different grow setups going on and that im working on and 1 of them will be getting this PaintBall CO2 tank feed style. Also, I could just put a regulator on one of the bottles... but kinda pointless, ill have to purchase one a CO2 meter or reader thingy(ill look into it) and then we'll see what happens now wont we :p

My hot water tank is near my hydrohut. If I cut a 1" hole into the hot water tank's exhaust duct (before it meets the furnace exhaust) would it be a good thing to run a 1" tube into the hydrohut so that it ends behind the oscillating fan? The hut is negative pressure and it exhausts into the room. I would get a monitor for the room before hooking it up.

The tank is a 50 gal. hot water tank. What ppm is acceptable for humans and what ppm is worthwhile for the plants?

Plants need 1,500 PPM's of CO2 max during lights on.

Above 3000-5,000 PPM's, it makes humans lethargic and after that - you are off to see jesus.

I don't know squat about CO2 and plants, but I do know a lot about homes. Messing with the exhaust is a BIG mistake in my opinion. An oz of extra nugs is not worth it, again in my opinion.

Lots of people die every year from faulty heater vents and such.
