Breathing on your Plants...free CO2 generator

The title says it all. Was up last night stoned out of my gourd and started looking it up. Did you know our exhaled breath is about 4% CO2?
Google it, I don't wanna post a dozen links.
Yield increase for free. Better light usage, improved nutrient absorption...sounds like damn fine snake oil...but it's free.

Anyone have any experience with this. Anyone know anyone who has tried it? It would be nice to hear about it.

It sounded good to me, so I'm starting to spend about an hour just breathing on the girls when I kick the lights on, and I'm going to start spending as much time as possible in the growroom. (Like typing this while setting on an upturned pot, being blinded by the lights, blowing on the girls every few breaths.((Started with every breath and nearly passed out)) Starting a growlog soon, and doing to many different comparisons and test plants to keep it all organized already, so they all get sighed at and breath on together. No control group for this one. I'll post considerable pics, and keep a detail log, you guys can judge for yourselves, as I will.
Sorry to the hardcore scientist. I'm more of a completely insane, way beyond crazy, type of mad scientist.

LoL.

The increase of Co2 by way of breathing on your plants is minimal and easily mitigated by draft, crosswind, etc., for essentially no effectiveness. If you had a human actually living in there, now that is a different story.

If you want safe, constant, effective CO2 release...put a couple cages of mice or other critters in your grow room at plant level for the duration of your grow in a closed environment. Of course, you must take care of the critters, clean their cages and provide a sanitary environment for any ingestibles by use of this method.

However, this is the cheapest, most effective way of constant CO2 rerlease without purchasing GrenPads, Co2 Tanks, CO2 Bags/buckets, etc.

Agreed with Snafu, but I am under the impression that if you have a totally sealed room you can increase the CO2 significantly in a small period of time with one or two people...our exhale is between 35,000 and 50,000 ppm...lets say you exhale ten times a minute (this is definitely a low estimate). In ten exhales you might breathe out a cubic foot of CO2 laden air @ 40,000ppm average. Expand this cuft of air and it would be enough to create roughly 26 cuft of ideal 1500ppm air. My flower room is 8x8x7, so roughly 450 cuft. Therefore, if I spend about 17 minutes in my room (17*26 = roughly 450) I can in theory bring the room up to 1500ppm. I have never tested this as I don't have a meter, and obviously these numbers are super vague estimates created by a very medicated individual...but I'm pretty sure that spending at minimum 30 minutes in a sealed room MUST have a positive effect on the ladies.

godemperor is onto something...

Any person more than me in my grow room...even myself for a prolonged period...is a terrible idea.

am I missing something here? lol. how is being around your ladies for an extended period of time a bad thing? can't seem to wrap my head around that one...

It's a joke; pun:) As in, I am a bumbling idiot and if I spend time around any one thing for too long I am bound to mess it up.

This is a hilarious thread.
 
Thank you Cann...I thought it was pretty damned good too. With a small growroom this seem like it would work great. My seedling room is only 1.2m x.6m with 2m ceiling. i don't deal with math, but the space is very small. Morning coffee and smoke with the girls was recommended by someone on another forum. I have started spending mornings in here, and try to exhale directly onto the youngins.
Snafu, why is your growroom drafty?

bahaha okay snafu i feel you a bit...godemperor is onto the right track but at the same time is a bit cloudy on some aspects of his knowledge...

godemperor - drink all the coffee you want with your ladies, but DO NOT SMOKE with them...smoke will clog the stomata of the leaves and affect transpiration etc...this is all bad news. There is no benefit of smoking with your plants...unless it is some sort of shamanic ritual sacrifice, but even then I wouldn't recommend it unless you are outdoors. But by all means spend some time in your room and breathe on your ladies...

yeah but who runs a sealed room without all the co2 gear !?? nobody. The air is being exchanged 24-7 in my gardens and they get all the co2 they need, when I get in there and breath, the inline fan just blow that beautiful co2 out... the only thing that happened when I spend too much time in my grow room is all the dust / cat hairs / hairs that are on my clothes end up on my buds. I think the idea is to create the perfect environment and spend the least time possible in your grow area, ... and let them do their thing.
