Yeah definitely can become dangerous! We ran CO2 way back in my dwc days but I have never with Organics. Gives me a nasty headache In low levels.Is CO2 in grow room safe?
What indoor growers may not realize is that high levels of CO2 while vital to plants, are dangerous to individuals. It's true. A sealed, closed indoor grow room can trap dangerous levels of carbon dioxide that can lead to severe negative health effects, such as dizziness, unconsciousness, and even fatality. Google
If your plants and grow room are giving you plenty of good buds then I would forget the co2.
Is CO2 in grow room safe?
I do, it's a pile of compost that gives free Co2 24/7Does anyone run co2 in their organic soil grow rooms?
Just curious if anyone does and at what parameters.
I dont run any myself in my current organic Grow but wanted to see how people feel about it.
I contest that notion.No way to increase the feed levels in an organic soil grow.
@St. Phatty Thank You for that info!
May I ask what kind of container you used? Does it foam or just fizz? Thinking in regards to a mesh cover over the top? I’ve got plenty of 5gal buckets w/ lids
I’ll be give that a shot this week. HVAC is firing on all cylinders right now.
Such a great idea!
Yeah I’m with ya, im not lookin for 1200ppm or even close to that. More curious about people’s experiences with lower levels between say 500-800. But I’m not really on the VPD train. No offense to those who are or anything. I just enjoy growing a variety of genotypes and am very much into saving resources and money when I grow indoor. So I guess I’d say I have learned to appreciate the different phenos as a result of climate and all that shit. I live in a pretty harsh environment dif times of the year a don’t try to fight that fact.We keep ours at 800 ppm. No problems. Not sure why a soil garden would use co2 different than any other garden as long as the environment right and the plants have what they need.
Up around 1200 ppm I feel everything has to be totally dialed in to keep up with the growth. Read up on VPD.
When I run CO2 I set my controller for 1000ppm. I'm using bottled CO2 and run 2EC nutrient strength. I run about 1.2EC without CO2Yeah I’m with ya, im not lookin for 1200ppm or even close to that.

Maybe one day I’ll be able to get more dialed in that aspect. But, currently
there is a time Seasonally when conditions are well suited… and I have found some Girls that seem like they would love just a little more at times.
My 4x30 gal soil beds create enough CO2 to keep the room around 600-800ppm.
I took it as that’s a reading with his System in operation.Assuming it's not a completely sealed room -
do you know what the actual CFM is on the inlet & outlet ducts ?
Not the spec CFM on the fans, the actual air movement.
If you know the duct area and the air velocity, that's a good start.
It’s pretty much a sealed room. Air comes in when the propane heater kicks on, or when I open the windows.Assuming it's not a completely sealed room -

Okay missed that. Yes that has been my experience too, but levels were over 1000ppm especially after dark phase.My 4x30 gal soil beds create enough CO2 to keep the room around 600-800ppm.
