I have an 8x8 room running two 1000w quantum digital ballast over 24 plants. I have a CO2 tank and regulator and environmenal control system. My question is how much and what level of CO2 should I run during my grow. Last time we ran it at about 4000 (i think its ppm but im not sure how the CO2 is measured guna have to look at my digital reader) thanks

This should answer all your questions about Co2.

by the way that link that you attached has a major flaw in his description of simply breathing in the room. his equation is off by a factor of 10. tidal volume is 500mL not 5000mL- so instead of 70min it'd take 700min which means youd have to live in the room essentially.
