CO2 tutorial??? Anybody got a link to good CO2 advice for small rooms?

Hi, All...
Is there a co2 tutorial or any info. on starting out w/ co2 in smaller grow rooms up to large? Most interested on the best systems for smaller grows (my grow room is 8'x8'x8'), and co2 controllers and how to hook all this shit up? Any links to info. or advice would be most appreciated,

Thanks in advance;

Been surfin' the web this afternoon trying to figure this shit out (what exactly I need that is cost effective for my small grow room yet functions well) and how to set it up- havent' really found a whole lot of info., going to call a dealer who sells this unit on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200289855449&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

and see if he can tell me what all I need in addition to this unit in the way of environmental controllers to run the fucker at 1600 ppm in an 8'x8'x8' space... He also offers expandable burner unit co2 generators so you can increase your output as you move up into bigger grow spaces.

Stick to tanks. Make shift burning units are a big fire risk.

Just out of curiosity, why were you wanting to add co2?

What do you want to know???---I would recommend a hydrogen water cooled co2 gen---works great in large or small rooms and is more cost-effective than tanked co2.

try the yeast and sugar metoid. it is cheap and works well for small areas also you can just get yourself some seltzer water and mist your plants with it.it is nothingnut carbonated water and I have used both methoids and to tel you the truth I haven't seen much difference in my growth than just having a good air exchanged in my grow room

That's the one in the link I posted. Looks pretty sweet, and I found another place that has them for $300! Now all I need to do is figure out this controller shit...

You need to get your co2 up to around 1600 ppm...Average outside air averages around 400 ppm. If you get it up around 1600 PPM, you will really see an increase in growth rate. My caregiver has a greenhouse w/ co2 (it has a very big, expensive and complex co2 system that cost him around $2200, not what I am looking for in my little grow room); anyway he has some plants in soil that are growing two inches a day- his hydros in the same greenhouse are growing about 3" a day. these plants are all in the vegetative stage. Impressed me enough that it convinced me to go both co2 and hydro!

I just visited their site and watched the video on that unit. Wow! Thats perfect for my application, and very simple to use and setup. Thanks for the info.
