Alternative CO2 solution

I found this on the International Cannagraphic site and thought I'd share. Sorry if this is a repeat post. Looks like the entire system runs about $35 and then refills run about $6/month. I've been using the yeast, sugar and water in a bottle method but I want to explore this option. Anyone else ever used this?

Yeah, I was looking at that a few weeks ago. It has it's possibilities. I am trying to take another approach for now, if it pans out...I'll let you know.
Peace

Please do, VM. I saw where you said you probably won't use the CO2 your next time around. I'm thinking of buying a 20lb block of dry ice and sticking it into the grow room and letting the "fog" blanket my girls. I don't know if the benefits of CO2 are realized only after prolonged and sustained use or if occasional "doses" are beneficial. Any opinions? Anyone?

Would this even work since aqautic plants are kinda different in thier make up.This would fill co2 into your water res reduceing the needed oxygen stunting roots.The co2 land plants need is absorbed via leaves and this doesnt make co2 air flow right it has to be in the water??

No. Instead of bubbling through water, you direct the CO2 hose over the plants.

Hearmenow, if you can get 50 lb blocks at a fair price, go for it! In my opinion a fair price is anything under $20.00 for 50 lbs of dryice. Get it in one block, not cubes. Periodic use is fine, but being a guy, and italian....more is always better! lol
Peace

anyone heard of putting hair clippings in with the soil for nutrients?

uhhh....no

Really you should look at CO2Boost www.co2boost.com it is more specific for plants, but it has a hefty price tag, really it lasts 3 times longer than the aquarium co2 kit. So I guess the 3x price tag makes since.

Here's my question, whats the difference between this and just putting sugar, water, and yeast in a bottle and shaking it. Oh... I don't have to shake it. Just stay with what you got are get a bottle of CO2.

i think somebody should explore the idea of oxygen enrichment on roots.

its a wonderful thing........ grotek h2o2 amazing

does this co2 aquarium thing work?

I looked at the link and it works on the action of fermentation. How long it'll last, IDK. But what I do know is that you can do this with yeast, sugar and water very easily. Second, we don't grow aquatic plants.

Fuck just start brewing your own beer an keep it in your grow room when its fermenting. I know it will not release C02 for thirty days but I've had some brews ferment for 2-3 weeks.

try Exhale co2 bags. hans in your grow room. it keeps my room at 1500ppm for about 4 months. its 4 foot by 4 foot by 6 foot

**hangs** sorry.

it says 4-6 plants for 6 months.

ExHale - Homegrown CO2 cultivates CO2 24 hours a day with no need to refill bottles or use expensive CO2 production units. The power of ExHale lies in the mycelial mass inside the vented cultivator. This mycelial mass cultivates 20,000ppm CO2 and the one-way breather patch releases CO2 continually for up to 6 months.
ExHale comes complete and is cultivating CO2 even before you get out of the checkout line. No need to turn it on or turn it off, simply place ExHale in your grow space and leave it alone to do its job.
A continuous shower of CO2 directly onto your plants is the most efficient way to deliver CO2. Placing the ExHale Cultivator slightly above the level of your plants will insure they receive the CO2 they need 24 hours a day for up to 6 months.
The ExHale Cultivator is designed for small to medium grow spaces, or more specifically 1 ExHale Cultivator will provide 4-6 plants with the CO2 they need.

Oh and I have O2 inriched the root system in hydro. I def feel that it made a decent diff in yeild.
