CO2 Calculator

This form will calculate how much CO2 will be needed to fill a grow room to the required level. It will also determine how long it will take to fill at the given rate. It will not calculate how often you will need to refill the room with CO2. There is no way to calculate how much the plants will use or how much leaks out! Usually you would want to refill just after an exhaust cycle or every 3 hours. *The air already has about 300 PPM so you only need to add 1200 PPM more to get the optimum level of 1500 PPM.

CO2 is an odorless, invisible, and non-flammable gas. It is also safe for humans in the maximum concentrations recommended for plant growth. The average level of CO2 in the atmosphere is about 300 PPM (parts per million). If the level decreases down below 200 PPM in an enclosed growing area, plant growth slows to a halt. Through the years of testing and research, the optimum enrichment level of CO2 for plant growth has been agreed to be about 1500 PPM. With CO2 enrichment, under good conditions, plant growth rates and flowering will increase 20-100%. CO2 can be used from seedling right through harvest.

Hydrofarm CO2 (.2-2 cubic feet per hour) with Timer
A CO2 system releases gas from a carbon dioxide bottle (not included). Plants use CO2 during photosynthesis. Increasing the carbon dioxide level to 1500 parts per million has shown to increase plant growth up to 30%. The output is adjustable from 0 to 2 cubic feet per hour with the flowmeter. It also includes a solenoid that opens and releases the gas when power is applied. Our CO2 calculator will help determine what level to set the flowmeter. Timer included.
