Carbon Dioxide Sensor Placement Options for Cannabis Production

Carbon Dioxide Sensor Placement Options for Cannabis Production Professor DeBacco Sensors Should be Calibrated Follow factory instructions but often this means allowing it to sit outside (away from CO2 sources) to establish 400ppm. Note it is important to keep cars, people, animals, grills and anything that may produce CO2 away from the sensor while it is calibrating. This can take 15min. but once it is set, it will not have to be calibrated for a year or more. A Sensors Reading… Only as good as its Placement Where you place your sensor depends on many factors. You need to take these into consideration so that an accurate reading can be obtained. Goal is to provide an accurate reading so the plants potential yield can be maximized. Also be mindful of the temperature the sensor may be exposed to as this could alter the potential readings. Adjustable Sensor Placement Depending on the exact growing space the sensor may need to be adjusted as the plants grow. Be sure to keep several factors in mind to ensure consistent and accurate readings. Quality Sensors Should have a Photocell Dosing of Carbon dioxide should only be during the light periods since this is when plants are actively using CO2. Adding CO2 at night (or during the lights off) portion of the day does not benefit the plant. Sulfur Vaporizer Warning Read complete instructions with the unit you are using. Generally Three Sensor Placement Options Above the plant Midway up the plant Toward the bottom of the plant *Note: Injection method can also influence the placement but in general (assuming even CO2 distribution) where would you place your sensor. *Remember CO2 is heavier than air. Sensor Placed Below Plant Height Advantages Ensures the maximum [CO2] is getting to the plant. Disadvantages May cause an increase in usage, especially if there is an exhaust/carbon filter set-up. Sensor Placed At Plant Height Advantages Provides and average reading Disadvantages May be below the injection point which will provide an higher than actual reading Sensor Placed Above Plant Height Advantages Will be least impacted by an exhaust/ventilation system Disadvantages Can cause a higher reading since CO2 is heavier than air.
