Grow Room CO2 Calculator

Our grow room CO2 calculator makes figuring out the ideal flow rate easy. Many growers trying to introduce additional carbon dioxide ask, “How much CO2 do I need for my grow room?”

To use this CO2 Calculator, simply input the dimensions of your room. Our tool makes a few assumptions:

• The ambient CO2 level is around 300ppm
• The target CO2 level is around 1500ppm
• You will add CO2 for 15 minutes every hour

After you put in your dimensions, you’ll see your calculated CO2 flow rate in green. You can choose between the imperial or metric system.
