Hey guys! I want to add CO² to my 5x5 tent. I want to use a CO² tank w/ regulator. Can anyone give me a complete list of the components I would need to get setup? Thanks!
Yo

CO2 Regulator (i just installed this one and it is working well)

A tank like this (a 15LB is probably what i would use for the size) but i suggest finding a place that does fills and swap outs and just getting a tank from them (works just like a propane tank even if you buy a nice shinny one they will just swap it unless you go to a place that fills) or craigslist a tank nearby
And a CO2 controller.
I have used this brand of controller and i Really like it.
Now then… are you sure you can use the CO2?
You need to be able to hit up between 7000 and 10000 lumin (thats a lot of light) per SF to get any real gain from CO2 and the nutes go up the Room Temp goes up and water usage goes up… its a whole thing

I believe I have the lumens. Running a HLG 650R at max power. Not worried about the refills. I’m sure I can refill anywhere they sell beer kegs (and they sell them everywhere here). If not I live next to Praxair and a welding shop. I work in the oil and gas industry so I know all about Air Liquide, etc and can get any compressed gas. I saw a setup on Amazon but I think I would still need a controller/monitor?
Also, I live in southeast Texas so hitting temp won’t be a problem lol.

How’s that controller working for you though? Does it monitor as well? I don’t want to kill or die lol.
You are being really helpful right now and I appreciate that! I am totally flying blind!
Should I buy a separate monitor that displays the current PPM? Maybe I’m buying stuff I don’t need but I am also preparing for future upgrades/expansion lol

I looked at the HLG650 R and it looks like you will have the light (From a quick glance)
I would love to know how the light does under CO2 because i would be switching to something similar next round.
The controller i have used the Brand as a temp controller and i love it… very reliable and not broken after tripping on it a few times.
my CO2 controller is a PPM3 from like 2008? lol i would recommend it but the owner retired and dropped the company if they are still being made by someone i couldn’t find them when i looked.

A separate monitor as a back up to check the first?
