Thats interesting I can tell you for sure that stretching plants will use much more co2 than plants after 30 days of 12/12 they use almost twice as much it seems
how do you determine how much co2 a plant is using?

Pushing in cold air will help cool the air, but it also dilutes the CO2 significantly. Either no incoming air or ducting that heated air back outside is best to maintain CO2 level integrity.How about if Im using my inline to pull fresh cold air from outside and pass it over the hoods and into the room with a hepa air filter inline?BOth good units, no worries with those parts.Heres what I am looking at. Any input or suggestions would help. Thanks

If you're not running any ducting now, and not going over 75, you might be able to keep it around 85 with the genny, but again, that's just over the winter. In a hot summer you will likely need either AC or to re-do your ducting.
Hope that helps!
well the main reason i dont wanna do air cooled hoods is cause im scared ill just waste all that co2?? ive ran into alot of threads where you say aslong as its outside-light-light-light-fan-outside it wont effect the co2. but then i read other things that lead me to belive it will!?! thats the only reason im so worried about this......
an your suggesting i use 2 fans for my veg.. in and out? venting into my flower room where ill have the 3.5 ton ac unit?? also allowing co2 to hit the veg room for a few hours a day???
you said to keep track of rh and temps. sorry ive fried my brain tonight. but what is rh???
the guy said that ac system will pull alot of water out of the room.. not saying i wont need a dehu. but just dont think ill need one that size?? plus where im gonna be living its gonna be COLD and DRY all year. with summer not gettin to hot either....
anothre reason i think i would be fine with just the ac.
you also talk about the flower room being off at dark? i assume you mean night time?
and you say it should be 65-70 degrees.. do you mean that temp for night or day???
i plan on keeping my temp 85 with co2 for optimal usage.. that sounds right correct?
now sinse the ac wont run with the lights off wouldnt i run into problems keepin my veg are cold enough? or do you suggest i do 18/6 in veg and have the 6 hour time diff at night to try to keep things cool in there???
thanks again lazy man you have helped me TONS with all this. and i feel like another couple days of reading and ima have this all figured out!

If you PUSH air through your hoods it can't suck in CO2.

Yep, thats right.

RH is relative humidity, you'll see that a lot round here.

May be, you'll know in 1 year what you need. Takes a whole set of seasons to dial things in for them all sometimes.
Nah, I run my flower rooms all night, dark during the day. Veg can run all day and into the evening.you also talk about the flower room being off at dark? i assume you mean night time?
Night.and you say it should be 65-70 degrees.. do you mean that temp for night or day???

With the lights off in the flower room it will be cool in there, and you just pump that cool air into veg.

No prob bro!
