Monitoring CO₂ concentration in a grow tent or grow room is essential for maximising plant growth, improving nutrient uptake, and supporting stronger development during both vegetative growth and the flowering stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"445\" data-end=\"850\"\u003eBy continuously measuring CO₂ levels in parts per million (PPM), the MBS-S8 allows the Hydro-X controller to automatically regulate supplemental CO₂ equipment when used alongside the DSC-2 CO₂ device station. This ensures plants always receive the optimal CO₂ concentration required for efficient photosynthesis, stronger plant health and improved yield in hydroponics, coco or soil-based growing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"852\" data-end=\"868\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"852\" data-end=\"868\"\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"1358\"\u003e• Accurately measures CO₂ levels (PPM) within grow tents and grow rooms\u003cbr data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"944\"\u003e• Integrates directly with the TrolMaster Hydro-X environmental controller\u003cbr data-start=\"1018\" data-end=\"1021\"\u003e• Enables automated CO₂ control when paired with DSC-2 device modules\u003cbr data-start=\"1090\" data-end=\"1093\"\u003e• Built-in photocell automatically detects day and night modes\u003cbr data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1158\"\u003e• Helps optimise photosynthesis for improved plant growth and yield\u003cbr data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1228\"\u003e• Plug \u0026amp; play installation with RJ12 connectivity\u003cbr data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1280\"\u003e• Reliable monitoring for hydroponic systems and indoor growing environments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1391\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1391\"\u003eHow It Solves Grow Problems\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1393\" data-end=\"1736\"\u003eMany indoor growers struggle to maintain stable CO₂ levels, especially in sealed grow rooms or hydroponic systems where plants rapidly consume available carbon dioxide. When CO₂ levels drop too low, plants cannot photosynthesise efficiently, which can slow vegetative growth, weaken plant development, and reduce yields during the bloom stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1738\" data-end=\"1983\"\u003eThe MBS-S8 continuously monitors CO₂ levels inside the grow space and sends this data to the Hydro-X controller. This allows the system to automatically activate CO₂ equipment through DSC-2 device modules when levels fall below the target range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1985\" data-end=\"2278\"\u003eThe built-in photocell also detects light cycles, ensuring CO₂ supplementation only occurs during lights-on periods when plants can actually use it. This prevents wasted CO₂ and ensures plants receive optimal conditions for healthy growth, stronger bud development, and improved overall yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2280\" data-end=\"2296\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2280\" data-end=\"2296\"\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2298\" data-end=\"2374\"\u003e• 1 × CO₂ Sensor (MBS-S8)\u003cbr data-start=\"2323\" data-end=\"2326\"\u003e• 1 × 16 ft RJ12 cable\u003cbr data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2351\"\u003e• 1 × RJ12 T-splitter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2390\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2390\"\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-start=\"2392\" data-end=\"2959\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2392\" data-end=\"2494\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2395\" data-end=\"2494\"\u003eMount the MBS-S8 sensor within the grow tent or grow room at canopy height for accurate readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2495\" data-end=\"2586\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2498\" data-end=\"2586\"\u003eConnect the sensor to the TrolMaster Hydro-X controller using the supplied RJ12 cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"2674\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2590\" data-end=\"2674\"\u003eUse the included RJ12 T-splitter if connecting multiple modules within the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2675\" data-end=\"2747\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2678\" data-end=\"2747\"\u003eConfigure CO₂ target levels within the Hydro-X controller settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2748\" data-end=\"2852\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2751\" data-end=\"2852\"\u003ePair the sensor with one or more DSC-2 CO₂ device stations to control CO₂ regulators or generators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2853\" data-end=\"2959\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2856\" data-end=\"2959\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eThe Hydro-X system will automatically monitor and maintain CO₂ levels based on the programmed settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Hydro Crop Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52714859561226,"sku":null,"price":205.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/meters-sensors-trolmaster-hydro-x-co2-sensor-31726510014648.webp?v=1773570750","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/trolmaster-hydro-x-co2-sensor-mbs-s8","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
