Description
The Mother Nature CO2 Generator 5 Liter Kit will provide increased CO2 levels up to 800PPM in a 4′ x 4′ area for 6 months.
The Mother Nature CO2 Generator is a complete, self-contained kit designed to operate in sealed grow room environments such as greenhouses or tents to increase CO2. Ideal for fast-growing, carbon dioxide-hungry crops, the Generator more than doubles the ppm of carbon dioxide found in normal atmosphere. Plants grown in a concentrated CO2 environment are proven to grow faster, thrive in higher temperatures, and bear bigger, better fruits and flowers.
Simply add hot water, connect the bottom piping to the supplied air pump and place the top piping behind a circulating fan. Run your air pump with your lights so the unit turns on with your lights and off with your lights. If you want to employ the advanced installation method (implementing a CO2 monitor), please review the instructions.Â
Mother Nature CO2 Generators are packed ‘dry’, allowing you to easily store them without fear of degradation or any nuisance odors. This means the Generator must be activated before use. Activation is a very simple task.
When you’re ready to use the Generator simply open the Generator lid and add hot (not boiling) water at one of the following amounts (according to the size of your CO2 Generator):
5 Liter (1.35 gal) CO2 Generator – add 1.25L (0.33 gal) of hot water to the CO2 Generator
10 Liter (2.7 gal) CO2 Generator – add 2.5L (0.66 gal) of hot water to the CO2 Generator
Allow 24hrs before you use the CO2 Generator. This 24hr period is essential in order for the contents to properly activate. Replace Generator lid after adding water.
The pump that’s attached to the base of the Generator is designed to be plugged into a lighting timer/relay as the unit is ideally activated in synch with your lighting regime. When your lights come on so does your CO2 Generator – in line with your plant’s natural needs. During ‘lights-off’ periods the Generator switches off and active CO2 producing bacteria come to life within it, re-energizing the bucket.
Depending on usage, the specially formulated compost and natural bacteria in your Generator will last up to six months. Once the contents of the Generator are depleted you can simply empty the Generator out, clean it down, and drop in a Mother Nature CO2 Refill It’s always handy to have a CO2 Detector to give you an exact idea of CO2 output levels and when a Refill is due.
The Mother Nature 5L Generator will provide increased CO2 levels up to 800PPM in a 4′ x 4′ area.
MotherNature CO2 Generator Instructions:
Connect the AirPump to the bottom pipe of the MotherNature CO2 Generator. Plug it into a timer or lighting relay for daylight-only operation. Route the upper pipe to a circulation fan for even CO2 distribution.
You must use one of the two below methods with the AirPump to maximize CO2 production:
Option 1: Connect the AirPump to the bottom pipe of the MotherNature CO2 Generator. Set the timer for pulsed operation: 15 minutes on, 60 minutes off during daylight. High CO2 concentrations are injected hourly into the growing environment. The timer remains off at night and resumes during the day.
Option 2 – Advanced Method: Connect the AirPump to the MotherNature CO2 Generator’s bottom pipe and use a timer for daylight-only operation. Attach a COP sensor, activating the CO2 Generator when levels drop below 650 PPM (recommended setting).
