CO2 ppm Set Point (CO2 Supplementation)

This is set at the lowest level of 400ppm which is normal atmospheric conditions. The reason for this system and setting, is to ensure that even during times of venting and high plant metabolism the plants is still being exposed to normal atmospheric levels of CO2. The issue that may have been occurring is due to the dense leaf canopy the plant could have been using up the CO2 faster than it was being replenished in the structure. This would result in carbon starving which could reduce yields.

The intention of this system is to ensure the plant has the same access to carbon dioxide as the outdoor plant despite is plastic enclosure. This controller also has a Fuzzy Logic mode which is a great feature and can be used because of the compressed air bottle based system being used.
