Enrich areas with CO 2 - grab a Pro-Leaf CO 2 Generator.
It burns liquid propane gas (LPG) to produce CO 2 + water vapour.
They're super flexible - you can modify your CO 2 output with ease. To do this, you simply cap off burners (4kW model) or use the handy selector switches (10kW).
Each unit is complete with an electronic solenoid assembly - you can turn off CO 2 generation at set times (with no gas leaks!).
Runs on liquid propane gas (LPG)
Can modify CO 2 output! Modify CO 2 Output (Caps Included)
No Pilot Flame--The intelligent electronic ignition system removes the need for one.
Suspend It Or Stand It--Suspend it using rope ratchets...Stand it up on the expandable metal leg attachments.
Solenoid Valve Attachment
This allows you to turn the CO 2 supply off & on. Never get a controller without a solenoid valve - you won't be able to shut off the gas supply completely.
Tip-Over Safety Switch
There's also a tip-over switch, which cuts power if the unit isn't upright.
Minimal Carbon Deposits
To reduce carbon build ups, the brass burners have chrome lined tips.
Even CO 2 Dispersion
CO 2 is pushed out of both sides of the unit, thanks to the unique 'V' shaped internal design.
Why Add CO 2 ?
Plants use CO 2 for photosynthesis (sugar production). If CO 2 is restricted, so is sugar production.
Plants can handle 1000ppm - 1200ppm of CO 2 . There's only around 400ppm - 450ppm in the air. Bringing that up to the optimum 1200ppm is one of the easiest ways to increases your yield by up to 20%! In summer, extra CO 2 also helps plants with heat stress by photosynthesising more!
Augmented Photosynthesis: CO 2 plays a pivotal role in photosynthesis. Elevating CO 2 levels in the growing environment can invigorate photosynthesis, leading to heightened plant growth, improved plant health, and potentially increased yields.
Enhanced Productivity: Elevated CO 2 levels enable plants to convert a greater portion of available light energy into biomass. This can result in accelerated growth and potentially shorter crop cycles, facilitating multiple harvests within a year.
Improved Nutrient Uptake: With more efficient photosynthesis due to increased CO 2 levels, plants tend to utilize nutrients more effectively. This, in turn, enhances nutrient uptake from the hydroponic solution, reducing the risk of nutrient deficiencies.
Optimized Environment: Maintaining CO 2 levels within the range of 1000-1500 parts per million (ppm) can foster a stable and ideal growing environment. This helps mitigate the negative consequences of CO 2 depletion arising from plant respiration and CO 2 dispersion in larger spaces.
Temperature and Humidity Regulation: Propane combustion produces both heat and moisture. In specific scenarios, the additional heat contributes to maintaining a consistent temperature within the growing environment. Simultaneously, the generated water vapour elevates humidity levels, which can be beneficial for select plant species.

Full instructions are included.
If capping off CO 2 burners, always choose burners furthest from the igniter.
Place an air circulator fan next to your generator to spread CO 2 evenly in your room.
Don't forget to keep the generator away from exhaust fans - otherwise CO 2 will be sucked right back out of your grow room.
