Your ppm's should be anywhere between 300 and 1500 ppm. The plants grow faster with higher ppm. The best way to set up your timer is in the directions for the regulator. I run mine for 2 hours when the lights come on. Then on for 15 minutes and off for 15 until an hour before the lights go off. The co2 is off during the dark cycle. I run mine at .3 on the bubble guage for my room which is a little smaller than yours. I check it occasionally with a cheap syringe tester. I try to keep mine at 1500 ppm. Eventually I will get a controller with a sensor but that stuff is expensive.

Yeah you want to keep your room at about 1,500ppm as stated above, natural air has about 300ppm in it so this extra boost is going to make you smile. Just be smart with it, seal up the room air tight and make shure you dont exhaust while running the C02, that preciouse C02 Is expensive!. I personally would raise my tems up from 78 without c02 and to about 85 to 90 with c02. The higher temps help the plants metabolism speed up so it can utilize the extra c02 your pumpin in the room. Hope this can help, keep us posted bro, Peace and Love!!!!!

once you hit flowering head on 1800 ppm is where its at only after alot of growth has developed- anything more than neccessary will be a waste.
