      Hi Andrew, yes it would be safe to add to your tent. Hanging an Exhale CO2 bag would be the best way to achieve this.

        With cost savings in mind and a larger then average greenhouse. Why not burn a small amount of pellets or wood shavings. This is what a plant does outdoors(filter smoke+commercial gasses. Misting the leaves with water to refresh the surface and reintroducing CO2 + more helpful gases via smoke. Any input?

          Hi, that’s an interesting concept and one we’ve not come across before. Personally we would use the Exhale CO2 bag to naturally add the CO2 to your greenhouse rather than filling the place with smoke.

          It takes levels around 5000 parts per million to become deadly. Naturally occurring CO2 in the air outside has about 400 ppm. Ideal growing range is 900-1200 ppm

        Use a CO2 regulator, appropriate sized CO2 tank for your growing area, and set the pre-drilled tubing up on the ceiling so that it is covering your entire garden. CO2 is heavier than air so it will sink. Also, place your CO2 probe that comes with the regulator directly in the center of your garden just above the current canopy height. Good luck and happy growing everybody!

      Hello Marc, If you’re looking to accelerate the grow cycles of your crops increase CO2 levels up to around 1,500 PPM. We would recommend getting a CO2 monitor to measure the levels in the grow space and then add more bags if necessary, but 1 bag should suffice for this area.

      The warming of global temperatures is caused by CO2 being trapped in the atmosphere,
      where as the CO2 in your grow room is utilized by your plants through the process of
      photosynthesis and creates oxygen which does not lead to a temperature rise.

    Should you just use the co2 in the day while the plants breath or out during the night?
    And how long would you have it turn on for? All day or constantly after the flowering has started?

      In answer to your questions, the ExHale strain is light sensitive meaning the majority of the CO2 production takes place when the lights are on. During the night cycle the bag dramatically reduces CO2 production until the light cycle begins and the CO2 production increases again. And we suggest using ExHale for both vegetative and flowering phases.

      On average our bags will raise the ppm in a given space by 500ppm above ambient. With regard to ventilation, we suggest placing the bag down low, close to the fresh air intake. CO2 will be drawn up through the canopy and utilized by the stomata on the leaves before being exhausted.

      You do not need to raise or lower the temperature of your grow space to use ExHale. The ExHale strain is tolerant to a wide range of temperatures. It is noted that plants with added CO2 can better withstand hot periods of time like you mentioned. As far as a placement, above or below the light is fine.

      Our bags are designed for specific size areas. Our original size bag is designed for a 1.2m X 1.2m space and our XL size bag is designed for a 1.8m X 1.8m space. Bigger space, simply add more bags. Each bag in the given space will raise the CO2 level on average 500ppm above ambient. You can control your levels by adding more or removing some bags.

      Going above 1500ppm is really not necessary. Plants can only utilize so much CO2 through the process of photosynthesis. If needed because of the summer season, higher CO2 levels will allow a plant to withstand higher temperatures. Growers using ExHale see, on average a 20-30% increase in yield.

The grow tent will be closed, but, of course, an outside fan for the intake, and a fan inside the tent to circulate the air.

      Botanical gardens indeed have a rich history and have evolved significantly over time. Here’s an overview of their origins and historical significance:

      Ancient Origins: The concept of botanical gardens can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China, where plants were cultivated for medicinal and ornamental purposes. However, the first botanical gardens in the modern sense emerged during the Renaissance.

      Medieval Gardens: In medieval Europe, monasteries often maintained gardens with medicinal plants for practical purposes. These gardens served as repositories of botanical knowledge, with monks studying and cultivating various plants for medicinal use.

      Renaissance Gardens: The Renaissance saw a renewed interest in botany and the study of plants. The first botanical gardens as we recognize them today were established during this period. One of the most famous examples is the University of Pisa Botanical Garden in Italy, founded in 1544. These gardens were primarily focused on scientific research and education, serving as living laboratories for the study of plant biology and taxonomy.

      Colonial Expansion: During the Age of Exploration, botanical gardens played a crucial role in the transfer of plant species between different parts of the world. European colonial powers established gardens in their colonies to acclimatize and cultivate exotic plants for economic, medicinal, and aesthetic purposes. The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London, established in 1759, is a notable example of such a colonial botanical garden.

      Scientific Advancements: The 18th and 19th centuries witnessed significant scientific advancements in botany, and botanical gardens played a central role in these developments. Gardens like Jardin des Plantes in Paris and Botanischer Garten Berlin became hubs of botanical research, contributing to our understanding of plant physiology, ecology, and evolution.

      Conservation and Education: In the modern era, botanical gardens have expanded their roles beyond research to include conservation, education, and public engagement. Many botanical gardens now focus on preserving endangered plant species, promoting environmental awareness, and providing educational programs for visitors of all ages.

      Vibrant Spaces Today: Today, botanical gardens are vibrant cultural institutions that attract millions of visitors each year. They serve as oases of biodiversity in urban environments, offering visitors opportunities for recreation, relaxation, and learning. Botanical gardens also play a crucial role in plant conservation efforts, partnering with conservation organizations and botanical institutions worldwide to protect endangered species and their habitats.

      Overall, botanical gardens have evolved from humble medicinal gardens of the past to become multifaceted institutions that blend science, education, conservation, and recreation, contributing to our understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
