RE: Bigger, better, stronger plants by adding CO2

This is some awesome information, and something I've never thought about before! I've been considering cultivating my own shrooms as well, so that's definitely something to consider and try to get set up! Maybe a micron or carbon filter of some sort? But you'd have to figure out a way to get the air to draw from one to the other without containing either the cannabis or the mushrooms..hmmm..something that would need to be pondered on for a while lol

From what I have read spores are 1 micron in size and standard HEPA filters capture down to 0.3 microns.
My plan is to run the air in a loop, through the mushroom chamber and cannabis tent. But putting that 0.3 micron Hepa filter between the mushroom exhaust and intake to the grow tents.
A filter like this:

That's a really good plan actually..do you have a ventilation system you are currently using for the tent or do you plan on adding one for this specific project?
Using that style of filter should essentially allow you to just use the ventilation setup inside the tent (I would assume) in order to form a vacuum of sorts. As long as you are drawing the air from one side of the tent, and allowing it to pump out the other side, right?
Then, you have a constant supply of freshly produced Oxygen, and the ability to supply the plants themselves with the Carbon Dioxide Bi-product, allowing the cycle to continue!
One thing I do know is that however you go about doing it, I'm sure it will turn out awesome, and I can't wait to see what you come up with!!
Yeah I run my 1000w MH fan exhaust out of the tent and then back in around the bottom. The intake of the light is wide open in the tent. Bringing my temps up into the 90s. Keeps the tent nice and toasty. Also have a clip on fan moving air around in the tent.
The mushrooms tents need fresh air, so I would have an intake on the other side so every 15 minutes or so it sucks out the stale co2 filled air and pushes in new fresh air. If the mushrooms stay in high co2 for too long they stop fruiting from what I understand... so its really beneficial for both mushroom and cannabis.
Thanks bud, will make some update posts as I have them.
