I’m not using CO2 @Mpower11 is a seasoned crop grower and is more advanced than most, I’m like you, just learning what I can a little at a time!
I do prefer a simple way of growing with just a bit of automation to keep me from working too hard to enjoy a grow!
I have many things to fix about my grow before I purchase the trollmaster pro but I’m looking forward to it.

Co2 I wouldn’t recommend for anyone until they have there RH/Temps mastered first… You can inject Co2 without RH/Temps mastered, it will not hurt the plants just you will be spending $$$ without much of any gain…
Veg with Co2 for me is easy to pull off… When I change to flower and I start pushing around 1300 Watts of LED power the heat kills me because I have to exhaust (lose my Co2)… I’m missing a A/C system in my setup to solve my Co2 problem… I just don’t really want to go down that road.
A lot of the time I even think it more of a hassle than it worth

Everything is a trade off, whether it be for time or moola
1300 w is a lot of heat 
Could heat your basement with that lol

You need to be pushing at min 600 Watt Led or 1000 watt HPS in a 4 by 4 tent if you want to get the most out of your Co2
lol it’s true last winter I heated my whole basement with my exhausted heat

What I’m going to try this time but I’m really not to confident it will solve the problem 100% but we will see. I added a second AC duct in my room from my house AC system not my tent just the room my tent is in… All return ducks are closed off in that room…
I going to exhaust into the room making the room hotter hoping the extra AC duck into the room will keep it colder… So yes I’m wasting Co2 into the room but hoping to be able to reuse when the Carbon fans turn on… Mind you Grobo may get a small bonus out of it since it’s in the room…lol
For standby power if the room gets to hot I have a 6 " carbon fan setup to exhaust heat and now Co2 out of the room to outside… (this part is 70% setup right now)
Hoping this all makes sense…lol

I think they are around 4 to 5 weeks old now… I kind of forget… I will have to check on journal when I get home… I’m not pushing 1280 W right now in veg I will when I change to flower.

I get Co2 bags. Some are 6mo and 12 mo. Anyways my bags are still good for a while. Underground has is own natural Co2 already there. It’s not hard to make it apart of your grow
You can’t hurt your grow… Just makes it grow faster… Do everything faster… But putting one in a Growbo IDK

So I’m trying to move forward but its a slow process!
Took down the 2 x 4 tent this week and put up my 4 x 8 tent but I’m stuck on medium decisions, sick of all the work of hydro but its hard to find LOS in my area, I think I’m going to have to make my own super soil, if I can find what I need locally.
This is what I have so far…
