Hi folks

Wonder if anyone had put a list of best co2 options. Many thanks

The first one is don't bother unless your grow space or lung room is sealed. Tending to all the other factors well will be a better use of your efforts. In my relatively noob opinion of course.

I thought that CO2 was evil?

What size is your tent/room @Outdoor_Auto_Canada (OAC)?

I'm curious about this as well since I grow in a sealed room in my basement. I have an exhaust but no intake, other than opening the doors. I briefly looked at those "Exhale" CO2 bags but realized I would need 10 of them (assuming my math is correct). I didn't want to get into tanks and generators or anything like that for my first grow. I was overwhelmed enough as is.

Besides, I figure burying my face in the girls for a few hours a day provides plenty of CO2.

As said before. Adding CO2 only benefits you if everything else is above the 90% range. Meaning everything needs to be perfect and be able to be pushed over that 90%. Upgrade your lights first to something like a FC-E series or HLG Bspec which are way overkill for a small grow, but which can push the light factor over that magical limit. Same for nutrients, medium and so on... There's worse ways to spend your money

For your first grow, don't even think about CO2, you have a lot of other stuff to get sorted, both with technique and equipment, before CO2 is likely to help.

In any case, if by exhaust you mean from the tent into your sealed room, that might work, if the exhaust is anywhere other than into the sealed room you would be just shoving your expensive CO2 out the hole.

So, my friend, burying your face in the ladies is the best plan. IMO of course, and we know how many of those are around.

Current setup is 4x2x5 grow tent in my garage. Had 2 plants and no air intake so I tried a tnb co2 can. Had one light and a crummy carbon filter pulling air out of my tent into my garage. Not directly outside. Still smelt in garage. I didnt measure co2 but I got the biggest buds yet. Also seemed to develop in flower faster. I guess I only need the co2 if I'm not using an air intake as that serves the purpose of bringing in co2. And I thought i wasn't a noob anymore lol. I plan to do my next run in 3 gallon pots of fastbuds forbidden runtz. Need to keep the tent completely sealed and just scrub air inside my tent. Dang cheap carbon filter lol. Unless I upgrade carbon filters. My wife doesnt like a weed smelling garage lol

I was thinking mars tsl 2000. Thoughts?

To be honest I don't have that much experience with lighting. I just gave those two "high end" lights as an example.
Think @Marshydro could give you a more exact advise based on your tent (4'x2'x5')
