pHilosophy around measurements

So I started managing my pH levels. I decided I want to be as close to 6 as I can now because it makes managing water for all the different grow stages, at once, easier for me. I'm old, I forget shit all over the place and I need for stuff to be simple. And I smoke the best weed chronically. I forget to put on pants sometimes. But I do remember reading online how this strain prefers this and that and who knows, I might get into it one day. For now it's half a mil per serving of water.

Insurance company sent me a CO2 meter in the mail because I've installed a wood burner. So I played around with it a bit in the grow because why not. I'm reading about CO2 all over the place. I have slightly elevated atmospheric levels in my grow tent. When I turn the exhaust fan down levels go up. When I blow smoke in the tent levels rocket and the meter starts beeping like a truck in reverse.
I continued experimenting a bit. A candle outside the air intake raised the CO2 with fan running by 90. An oil candle, the ones you put on graves or in your backpack for the zombie apocalypse that burns for days with a colder flame, raised the CO2 levels by 200.

My tent has good circulation.

Just some observations. Dont leave candles burning.

When I fart on the device it only spikes by a mere 100. I am very disappointed with this.

I'm thinking about other stuff I wanna try before I put it up on the wall in the hallway like it says I should. Like my old moist truck I haven't aired out in a year.

Shit. I have grown an addiction to measuring stuff. pH. EC. Air quality. Why do I feel this need to collect data on my environment all of the sudden? Age crisis perhaps.

Maybe I should try tinder.
