How This Collection Helps You Grow

Every product in our CO2 collection is selected for accuracy, safety, and uptime. From plug-and-play regulator kits to multi-zone controllers with alarms and data, you’ll maintain ideal CO2 ranges, balance temperature and humidity, and streamline operations—so your plants focus on growth, not stress.

Optimized CO2 shortens production cycles, increases biomass, and improves consistency. With accurate sensing and dosing, you minimize waste, reduce climate swings from “over-burn,” and deliver repeatable results harvest after harvest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the methods of CO2 enrichment in greenhouses?

The two most common are natural gas/propane CO2 generators for large spaces and compressed CO2 cylinders with regulators for precise dosing. Generators suit bigger volumes; tanks offer clean, on-demand injection. Even distribution with tubing and circulation fans is essential.

What is the role of CO2 enrichment in vertical farming?

CO2 supports faster photosynthesis and consistent growth across tiers. Accurate sensing per level and controlled distribution prevent stratification, ensuring each shelf receives target ppm without waste.

How long does a 20 lb CO2 tank last in a grow room?

It depends on room volume, target ppm, and leak rate. As a rough example, raising a 1,000 ft³ room from ~400 ppm to ~1,200 ppm uses ~40 g of CO2 per dose; a 20 lb (≈9,070 g) tank can supply about 220 such injections. Actual duration varies with cycling frequency and room tightness.

Do plants really release CO2 at night?

Yes—without light, photosynthesis pauses and plants respire, releasing a small amount of CO2. However, this is not enough to replace controlled enrichment during the day cycle.

What should the CO2 level be for hydroponics?

Common daytime targets are 800–1,200 ppm for many crops, adjusted by light intensity, temperature, and cultivar. Pair setpoints with adequate airflow and environmental control.

Are CO2 sensors worth it?

Absolutely. Reliable sensors and controllers prevent over/under-dosing, save gas, trigger alarms for safety, and maintain consistent ppm—key to repeatable yield gains.
