The secret to faster growing plants

Greenhouse, indoor gardener and hydroponic growers know the benefit of increased carbon dioxide levels for plant growth. Carbon dioxide is just as important to growing plants as light and water for photosynthesis, the chemical reaction that feeds plant growth.

Even if a plant has the proper amount of light, water and nutrients, the limiting factor in the process of photosynthesis will be the amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) available.

Fortunately for greenhouse growers and indoor gardeners, hundreds of scientific experiments have been conducted to determine optimal CO2 levels. Studies show:

Greenhouse-grown vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce show earlier maturity, larger fruit size, greater numbers of fruit, a reduction in cropping time, and yield increases averaging 20 to 50 percent.
Greenhouse-grown flowers such as roses and carnations grow more quickly, have longer stems, and larger, more colorful flowers. Yield increases averaged 12 percent.
Flowers and ornamental plants propagated by cuttings, such as geraniums, show faster growth, more extensive rooting, and greater plant heights.
For the majority of greenhouse crops, net photosynthesis increases as CO2 levels increase from 340–1,000 ppm (parts per million)

View the Day Night CO2 Monitor and Controller for Greenhouses

While there are many methods to increase CO2 levels, only a real-time CO2 monitor guarantees that your plants are actually getting the right amount of CO2. For example, our Day Night CO2 Monitor & Controller for Greenhouses combines accurate CO2 generator control and features a photo sensor that can turn off carbon dioxide at night to save growers money and ensure optimal levels for their crops. It is an invaluable tool for the serious indoor gardener or professional grower.

For those in larger facilities and cultivation centers, the GrowFlux CO2 Microclimate Sensor can also be utilized for monitoring CO2 levels in the space. It is important to recognize that the GrowFlux CO2 Microclimate sensor is NOT a safety device. The GFX-100 is designed to remotely monitor micro-climates and CO2 levels, making critical measurements available from anywhere on your smartphone or PC. With the wireless and battery-powered design, the sensor can be placed anywhere among the crop, allowing growers to pinpoint CO2 enrichment dead zones and stratification. With the use of the GrowFlux CO2 Microclimate Sensor, the GrowFlux Access Point must be purchased to securely connect to the the cloud-based data logging software.

Implementing carbon dioxide (CO2) to your grow space reaps tremendous benefits from saving energy costs and producing healthier and profitable crops. Carbon Dioxide overall can contribute to improving the overall plant process, which results in increases growth rates and profitability. Prior to purchasing a carbon dioxide monitor, it is important to note whether you are looking towards carbon dioxide monitoring or a carbon dioxide safety device.

The Team Loves the New PRO-10

The team loves the new PRO-10 and how its designed and functions. It’s simple and easy to see and hear too. The rugged design and new belt hook are ideal to keep our installers, techs, and salespeople safe in the field.

Excellent

It is reliable sensor we used.

Thanks

Part was accurate and arrived fast

Excelent

I receveid the sensor and in the test everthing works well

Great device

Totally thrilled with it

good seller

Great for science project

Worked great for our School science project, measuring and logging direct air capture of CO2 using an Arduino and laptop.

Great Meter

This meter not only shows the current co2 level but records the maximum and minimum readings for instant recall.

I am very pleased with this well built unit.

Remote CO2 Storage Safety Dual Alarm

The perfect monitor

This monitor controller is what I have been looking for for 25 years. It keeps the co2 levels at the correct levels. When they go to high the fan kicks on and runs until the co2 reaches 800 parts per million, which is the default setting. I just purchase 3 more one for each of my grow rooms. I feel they are very reasonable priced as well.

Worked GREAT!

We have continued to use CO2Meter CO2 Leak Detectors and they have worked great. It's nice not also having the headphones to deal with like other competitors. 5 stars!

SprintIR®-W 100% CO2 Sensor

Excellent Once Installed

The installation was difficult given the terrible instructions for a novice like me. Specifically, the wiring instructions assumed an understanding of thermostat wiring that required hours of Googling for me to comprehend. Now that it’s installed, I wonder why every new home doesn’t come with this standard to control the air exchanger. It is amazing to know that fresh air is drawn when needed, and not when it isn’t needed. This improves health and reduces energy loss. I was amazed to learn just how much CO2 I was allowing to build up in my house now that I can see the levels with this monitor. Now it is a joy to know my family has consistent fresh air (without running the exchanger into bankruptcy. :)

Better sleep

Kept sleeping like crap and waking up in the middle of night. Couldn't figure out why. Then I thought about co2 because I slept in a 10x10 room with the windows and door shut. Got this monitor and levels were 2500-3250ppm. Decided to start cracking door when I sleep with a 4" swing bar door lock. Now the levels never go above 2000ppm and are usually 1300-1900ppm. I sleep better now and rarely wake up in the middle of night. My advice is to crack windows as much as possible. Do it at night if you live in a hot climate. With nobody in the room that brings my level down from about 1200ppm to 700ppm. And always sleep with your door cracked at least 3"-4". The more the better. You can get a 4" swing bar door lock at Walmart for $5 if you need security.

Great assessment tool

A screen shot of meter creates nice content in my reports.

Systems Engineer and Operator

I have been working closely with Josh and really am impressed with the CO2 Multi Sensor System and its ease of use in operation for our facility. Great work.

great service

smooth ordering process, quick delivery, great price, works well- thanks so much!

Good for situational evaluation

I'm immunosuppressed, but with the "end of COVID" I will need to spend more time in rooms with multiple other people. CO2 is a good way of monitoring room ventilation, and I have been evaluating room safety based on the meter's readings. I have no way of evaluating the accuracy of the CO2 readings, but the humidity and temperature readings are spot on, so I feel the CO2 readings should be close enough for me to make a good estimate of a room's safety.

Very Accurate!

This device is working exactly as I expected. It's extremely accurate for being such a small device.

Worked fine and correct product!

Interesting tool to have when entertaining

It’s nice to be able to see when air quality is good or not. Knowing that we can open a windows or start a fan to circulate air helps folks feel safe.

Great Product!

We've been using the CO2 meter to take IAQ Measurements in buildings during Energy Star certification visits. It's been working well an updates quickly which helps us move around a building faster.

HIGHLY Satisfied

I just wanted to say our team is highly satisfied with the CO2 controller and we will hope to do future business with CO2Meter.

GREAT!

This product works excellently and CO2Meter always offers great technical support.

Open the windows

I am feeling better now I made our hose air tight. Put the power bill in the green. The CO2 in the red. Can’t win.
