- 📊 ADVANCED FEATURES: Audible alarms when preset thresholds are exceeded, easy calibration of the CO2 sensor.
- 🌍 VERSATILE APPLICATIONS: Perfect for greenhouses, grow rooms, aquariums, and other environments that require precise CO2 control.
To achieve optimal results, controlling CO₂ levels is an essential part of mushroom production.
With this controller, you can simply connect your ventilation system (intake or exhaust) to the unit and set the thresholds to your desired levels. Air will be exchanged only when necessary, helping you save energy.
Recommendations:
During the incubation phase, high CO₂ levels are beneficial (1,000 to 2,000 ppm), as they inhibit premature cap formation and promote the development of robust mycelium. However, excessively high CO₂ levels can slow mycelium growth and negatively affect mushroom quality.
Once the incubation phase is complete and the oyster mushrooms begin to form pins the first signs of mushroom caps), it is essential to significantly reduce CO₂ levels to promote healthy mushroom growth. This reduction can be achieved by increasing ventilation in the growing room. Excessively high levels will cause deformities in the mushrooms, such as elongated stems and smaller caps in the case of oyster mushrooms.
In the fruiting room, you should maintain a CO₂ level of 400 to 800 ppm.

Recommendations
- Place the sensor in a suitable location in your room. If your space is poorly ventilated or there is insufficient air circulation, pockets of air may form that skew the CO₂ readings.
- In the fruiting room, please note that the sensor remains sensitive to humidity and water. Be careful not to get it wet directly, and avoid placing it in a draft near the misting system.
