Well as some of yall no, I work construction and currently working on per diem, so im in my travel trailer for the 4 months. Since i new about it, I built 2 flowerin/veg rooms that measure 2x3x3. Both have 600 watt hps air cooled with 6 inch inline fans. Ones clones in dwc hydro, oother box is soil. All bag seed. I bought this co2 regulator to run co2 in both rooms durin flowering but i dont want to buy a big co2 tank inn case of leaking co2 or some default. Im in a travel trailer and i would hate for me and my baby/roomate to be smoged out by c02 from a big 20+ tank.
So, can i runn this regulator on a 1-2 pound co2 tank? I no it wouldnt last long but I can get the bottles refilled for cheap at the paint ball gun supply shop locally. If you can do basic math, Ithink this is how long it would work...

but with these tanks.. 20oz tank, Pin Valve
ID: 030-0200
The 2 flowering rooms are 18cubic ft and have around 300ppm already.. So if i add 1200 ppm to = the optimum 1500ppm i should have enough in this bottle for 1 flower period..

At this flow rate, if you are using a 1.25 pound CO2 bottle with a regulator, it will last 10.925 hours.

So is this a smart idea? I have 3 20oz co2 tanks from my paintball gun. thats 30 hours of co2 and i wouldnt have to worry about big leaks for my baby
