Description
The SA1200P is a CO2 monitor that shows real-time readings of carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity inside your grow room or grow tent. The SA1200P also shows the minimum and maximum readings of these three parameters as well as a chart over time. The use of CO2 to increase yields is explained in more detail here.
