Digital Carbon Dioxide Analyzer
    #19381381 - 01/07/14 08:57 AM (10 years, 24 days ago)

Dose anybody have any experience with one of these? I think it would be useful experimenting with creating new fruiting chambers. Tune in auto tubs with computer fans on timers, and other things like that. Expensive though! $479.00






This compact device is a triumph in the field of economical digital CO2 monitors. Using a patented, dual infrared beam sensor, this unit displays carbon dioxide levels from 0–10,000ppm (accuracy of ±50ppm or 5%, whichever is greater), temperature from 32–122° F, 0–50° C (accuracy of ±2° F, ±1° C). This unit can also be used to spot-check ventilation rates. Requires four "AA" batteries, or the included AC adapter. (Please note: this unit is for spot checking CO2 and temperature levels; it is not designed to be permanently installed in a high-humidity area. Long-term placement in a high-humidity environment may render the unit inoperable.) - See more at: http://www.fungi.com/product-detail/product/digital-carbon-dioxide-analyzer.html#sthash.iooiPNSy.dpuf

Umm......so, I'm guessing no, you have no experience with one of these.

Been there, done that, just trying to advance my game some more. Looking for someone who has experience with one of these.

I reckon it's an awesome idea. Only gas concentration tools ive ever used are bulky lab machines though. Nothing portable. One of those would be amazing to use to calibrate an auto regulating chamber. Effectively a set and forget kind of thing.
Or for messing with things like reishi so you could have precise control over formation.

If you have the dough I would do it for sure. got nothing to lose

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I love mushrooms, I'll be growing for as long as I possibly can. I probably will end up getting one, I just wanted some feedback in case someone who has one says "they are a waste of money and time, don't get one"

I thought I heard during colonization co2 gets to over 20,000ppm. So it would solely be for a FC. With that said. Its a waste of 500$ go get yourself a bong, a ps4, a game, and call it night.
The shrooms tell you better than any machine ever could.

And the meters don't work well and eventually break in high humidity environments like fruiting chambers.

What mushroom  mycelium wants at fruiting time is fresh air, and a CO2 level less than about 800 ppm.  It's really irrelevant how many air exchanges per hour they receive, since the ultimate goal is to reduce the CO2 concentration in the air.

The best method I've found if you have no CO2 meter is to make sure that if you mist well, the water is gone off the fruits in about fifteen minutes.  This ensures enough fresh air to take away the excess moisture, and by default, one could assume the CO2 is being scrubbed away too.

There's a few CO2 monitors on the market for under $300, so you might want to look into one of these.

3 year old post. I'm sure they clost a little more now, but assuming you're growing cubes the stems will tell you a lot about your PPM of CO2

To what degree do we restrict GE during Bulk Colonization?



To the degree necessary to hold CO2 in the neighborhood of 10K to 20K ppm.  You can get a CO2 meter for under $300.
RR



Interesting, Although it would be hard to measure without inadvertently lowering the CO2 concentration during the check

I have a walk in GH with Lions Mane. I think it would also be useful to spot check different corners and areas of the fruition room for proper ventilation, circulation. Also different phenotypes of the same genus species could be more or less tolerant of co2. For example one phenotype of the same species may produce elongated stems due to high co2 levels & in the same room as a different phenotype is more tolerant without elongated stems. It seems like a good tool to me.

In that situation and probably a few more. Yea its a good idea. Buuut then why spend 500 when you could get one for less?

I'm not trying to kill your idea, I just like to poke holes.

because they're nearly the same price as some co2 meters, they measure in % not PPM, and you have to buy them to read specific ranges of CO2

Well they are the standard we live by in the lab but I can see how for home use flexibility could be lacking.

I've been running this CO2 meter 12 hours per day for 5 years now.  It's held up in high humidity just fine, but I obviously unplug the unit and put it away when I hose down the grow room.

It has a 1/8" plug on the back from a set of reed contacts inside.  They can be used to energize an exhaust fan relay at a given CO2 level.
