How to setup CO2 tank regulator and monitor for indoor growing

I don't see many videos actually showing the simple steps of setting up your co2 tank for your indoor grow room. I hope this helps answer a few questions.
Tanks should be secured so they can not tip over to prevent harm. Always ask your local gas supplier for more details and other safety tips. this is for educational purposes only.

[@Yashiro-nene_dies]

As a welder who has handled cylinder tanks for over 20 years, I crank those regulators down with a wrench with a decent amount of force without ever having an issue. One easy way to find leaks is to make sure your solenoid is closed and crack open the cylinder. Your regulator should indicate how full your cylinder is. Now close it, and it should maintain that pressure. If your needle starts dropping, then you have a leak. One last thing, cylinders are under immense pressure, accidently knocking one over, and you'll have a missile on your hands. Make sure to secure/chain up your cylinder.

You can find leaks with soapy water, it'll bubble if you spray it on the joints. Also a water based bubble counter is a good visual way to instantly see your flow. In addition you can get cheap tanks and refils at a local beer brewing shop. Finally, fresh water aquarium micro misting CO2 bubble stones can add a ton of enrichment to your nutrient water, it works better in hydro systems. There is no such thing as too much CO2 when in veg.

without a monitor its going to be almost impossible to know the exact PPM your room is at. Which can lead to many issues. Could also be dangerous if it gets to levels above 4000PPM. i would get the equipment and save your bottle until you have it.

[@TriStateTrichomes]

Assuming that space is well sealed you would be fine with a smaller 20lb tank and it would last you a month or 2. now if the room is not well sealed you will go through the gas fast either way and larger may be better if you plan to run co2 anyway. Instead of trying to guess the flow rate i would get a monitor/controller to measure the room for you and it will turn the tank on and off as needed. I made a newer version of this video that goes into a little more detail.

[@reneschipper6262]

great! my question is how to prevent the co2 to get extracted from the tent by the exhaust fan?

[@reneschipper6262]

apparently not, you have to build a closed system with AC I guess.

[@TriStateTrichomes]

You can't... For a tent your only options are to seal the room the tent sits in and saturate the entire room or vent it out of the tent and eat through your Co2 and an incredibly fast rate. The latter is not worth it in my opinion. Depending on your situation it may be feasible to pull in air from another space in your place thats more enriched naturally from either the occupants of the house or from something like a gas pilot light.

[@reneschipper6262]

@@TriStateTrichomes thanks for your quick answer. the trick is rerouting the output from the exhaust via a cooling tube back into the tent. now how would a cooling tube possibility work?

[@TriStateTrichomes]

@@reneschipper6262 Are you saying you would vent it out of the tent and then have that come straight back into the tent? If so you have to remember a tent is not airtight either. so if you could manage that idea you would still leak co2. probably much less but it would still leak. Since starting Co2 is not a a cheap initial investment for everything. I am not sure how worth it the cost to return would be. I would still suggest sealing the room the tent sits in and enriching that space or use the passive co2 in your living space to enrich. I had a setup in a basement that stayed about 950ppm as a constant. All of the co2 from the people in the house would leak down into the basement since its heavier than air and thus free co2. not to bad at all.

[@shotalapiashvili8848]

Hi! thanks for the vid, one question: so when the co2 is on does it drop down tent temperature ?

i have an AC/heater in the room. so if it does have any impact then i have not noticed. But that aside i dont see a reason why Co2 would have any notable effect on temperature in a grow space.

in the long run the tank setup is going to be cheaper and more effective. But the initial cost is more. also keep in mind the tent will leak the co2 unless its in its own designated room and then the whole room can be sealed and supplemented

I'm think a 6000BTU for each tent might do the job but it will be constantly working at max power. Compared to my previous runs with an unsealed setup I'm in disbelief at how much heat the AC will have to dissipate and thus the load on the electric consumption.

Hey boss, what should ppms be before they the plants break the soil? My concern is that plants use o2 during this phase and I have no fresh air intake, should a room at say 400ppm co2 have enough o2 or should I be opening the door a couple times a day until they break the surface then push the co2? Sorry if that was worded weird

[@TriStateTrichomes]

Ambient Co2 levels are around 420 (nice). So 400 is low and inside your house chances are you're closer to 500 or 600 if not more. I wouldn't add co2 before they pop. Just you going in the room to check on them will add a lot if you look at your monitor you'll notice a BIG jump after a couple minutes. Even seedling and very early veg they use such a small amount that my regulator never turned on and my own breath was more than enough.

@@TriStateTrichomes thanks bro

[@TriStateTrichomes]

@@machiavelligaming9755 no problem. If you have a sealed room. You going into the room will keep levels elevated all day long since it's trapped and they use such a small amount. If you don't have a sealed room and are just trying to add to a tent or something similar I would recommend pulling air in from your living space that is naturally enriched from the occupancts of the residence. And of you're adding more I would wait until you enter veg and have higher light intensity. Otherwise the cost effectiveness is diminished. An unsealed room is already difficult to supplement co2 in so if you're going to do it then do it when it's used the most to help save a little.

@@roboquaid honestly if you are pulling air into the tent constantly. Unless you can co2 the entire room the tent is in I don't think using co2 is a good choice. With an expensive upkeep. What I usually recommend for someone growing in a tent at their place is if possible to pull in air from your living space. Co2 levels in a house are in general much higher than outside air. For example a basement might run 900ppm just from what sinks down from everyone above. Or an area with a gas pilot light will have very high co2 .

Prós: funciona como anunciado Conecta-se facilmente ao regulador Contras: As instruções foram escritas para ajudá-lo a conectar tudo, mas as instruções para configurá-lo de acordo com suas preferências são vagas na melhor das hipóteses. Você precisa entender duas palavras, ZONE e CENTER. Centro = onde você deseja que o ppm esteja. Provavelmente em torno de 1200ppm para plantas. Zona = quanta variação para o alvo central você deseja ter. Se você definir o centro para 1200 e definir a zona para 200, ele será cortado em 1000 ppm e desligado em 1400 ppm. A configuração de fábrica é 400, que é uma variação bastante ampla do centro alvo de 1200.

I wish I could read this to respond because it looks like a well thought out comment.

[@jackbristol3013]

You need to use some plumbers tape on that thread.

[@TriStateTrichomes]

Thats funny you mention it, I considered using some gas pipe tape actually, but I've never had an issue with leaking, (when I'm using both hands) so haven't picked any up yet.

[@jtmoney416]

@@TriStateTrichomes no. Do not tape the threads. Use the washer that is zip tied onto your regulator. It’s a straight thread so it uses the washer to seal, not tape. Tape is for tapered threads lol

[@TriStateTrichomes]

@@jtmoney416 nah I've never had an issue. The seal zipped and hanging is my extra one. If my first stopped sealing I'd use that and only consider gas pipe tape as a last resort. More as a temp fix until allied gas supplies can admit fault and replace mine.

Homie you should chain that tank up....that thing somehow falls and shears that valve it will literally go through a cinderblock wall like a missle.

[@TriStateTrichomes]

it is chained up?

[@TriStateTrichomes]

and this tank doesnt have that much pressure. You may be thinking of an oxygen tank. it is under much more pressure.

[@imdrunken]

@@TriStateTrichomes glad to hear its chained, oxygen is bad too, but co2 has plenty of pressure to still be a missle. I work with compressed gases like co2 and oxygen

[@TriStateTrichomes]

@@imdrunken These CO2 tanks tend to land 900-1000 PSI. I know when i did welding back in the day i handled oxy and acetylene. O2 tanks are double around 2000PSI i believe. But yes i keep it chained to the corner. I made 2 videos on how to set these tanks up and i believe i cover chaining them up in each. Definitely can cause damage and cost money if they fall

[@grhman1]

You could have lost 5 minutes about the hand tight we get it and more important how does the regulator communicate with the controller that would have been better info

[@TriStateTrichomes]

I had damaged one in the past myself and made sure to clarify its a lot easier to do so than you think. I'm still traumatized I guess ha

[@SmokeyTheeBar]

I secured mine to the wall just in case it turns into a rocket 😂

[@TriStateTrichomes]

OSHA approved

[@bretmackay4151]

Wow ... hand tight on a deadly gas is never enough....yes the threads are brass. Not plastic for pete sakes the nut is designed for a wrench not fingers. SNUG IT UP with a wrench !!!

[@Comeback.king.]

How long does that big ass bottle last? Haha

[@TriStateTrichomes]

By mid flower about 1 month with that 1 800w light from my other videos. My more recent videos have 2 800watts so I'll see if there's a notable uptake in consumption. I would assume so though

[@tylerloyd4207]

if you strip the threads, that doesn't ruin your tank... 😂.

[@timmoulthrop8510]

Come on you spend all that time showing how to put a regulator on a tank and what you really should have been doing is showed how to set up the controller

[@TriStateTrichomes]

the controller is different for each brand. So your individual instructions are best. But the tank is the high pressure metal can that i felt needed the proper explanation. I also made a video after this giving a little more detail for those who asked. This one has more views though and is pushed to more ppl.

[@tradez5799]

Beverage grade or industrial grade?

[@TriStateTrichomes]

I don't believe there is a difference. The shop I go to supplies both using the exact same cylinders.

[@jloch7895]

@@TriStateTrichomes have u found out which kind your using

[@TriStateTrichomes]

@@jloch7895 no difference as far as I can tell. Co2 is co2
