Hamster vs bottled CO2

i dont think thats how it works. does anyone actually know how mammal respiration works with regard to what goes in as opposed to what comes out. i know about 18% of oxygen is used by the body per breath and a significant amount is unused and exhaled. what are the actual contents of exhaled breath from a mammal as oppposed to the contents when inhaled. anybody really know about this?:confused:
anyone that took 7th grade biology should know... but ill break it down for you..


cellular respiration.. oxygen and glucose consumed by cells and give off water, carbon dioxide (co2) and energy.

physiologic respiration (aka breathing).. moving air in and carbon dioxide out.

you breathe not only to take in oxygen but also to expel co2, a byproduct of all your cells doing their jobs.

plants work just the opposite. they breathe in co2 and exhale oxygen.

I can't believe this post is still alive! I'm pretty sure the reason you cna't find out how much Co2 a Hamster produces is because it is the most insignificant question in the world. I would have thought someone with a background in science could think of a better question or run the experiment himself w/o asking a bunch of pot heads. Just me tho...

:joint:well a pot head might for some reason or another have hat useful trivial knowledge were are stones i have smoked with a lot of out there kinda cool people that have knowledge like that lol:peace:

slap a big thick tube on your grill and duct tape it to your head.. run the tube into your grow room....

it's organic

there's some other gasses that we exhale like ammonia that the plants might not like... but then again, MJ's probabbly been around since the dinosaurs...

ok so more c02 goes out than comes in with mammals because of various biological processes at the cellular level that makes sense. im sure i learned this in high school but forgot thanks. plants on the other hand basically break the co2 bond and use the carbon for there tissues and release the o2 into the atmosphere correct more or less? so basically a plant assimilates its tissue from atmosphere amazing. where as us mammals have to consume other organisms to get our carbon to grow. so in a way plants are made out of air it sounds odd but basically true in laymans terms. very fascinating:confused:

It wont work my friend. Though I do love thess good ideas somebody will hit on a good idea pretty soon that will change the way we grow cannibas. In the mean time give me
a 400 wat digital ballast and 2 home depot M/H & HPS bulbs and I can supply my self
with VERY good weed. I have tried the water bottle w? sugar&yeast. Canyt tell if it made a diff. only did it for 3 weeks into flowing with fan off and lights on then became a hassle.

so it may have been answered before somewhere else on rollitup but since dry ice is co2 in a solid form, and it releases itself back into a gaseous state when dropped into hot water pretty quickly, and it's not that expensive, wouldn't this be a good inexpensive way to supply extra co2?

Yes it is:hump:

you could put the dry ice into ice water in a bucket and wrap with a towel to insulate from heat it would then release the co2 over a few hours:peace:

both cats and dogs will sometimes eat cannabis. i had an expensive quarter 1 time and my hound ate all but some shake i was not pleased:spew:

i agree just go out and get the regulated system or a propane/natural gas c02 generator and you will be pleased with the results.

haha fdd finds the funniest pictures........

yeah i wanna know the answer to this too...... hamsters are kinda cool...... reptiles produce c02 too right???rather have some iguanas or somthin....always wanted an iguana
NO IGUNANAS IN GROW AREA.. THEY ARE HERBAVOURS USED TO HAVE ONE AND I LITTERALLY FED IT BUDS... HAHA YOUD WAKE UP WITH A BIG HIGH IGUANA WITH NO PLANTS!!!!!!:spew:

oh yeah an iguana would be happy. i put some anoles (little lizards) in a grow once to eat fungus gnats plus they were cool to see hanging around:peace:

do mammals actually produce c02 i thought it is simply inhaled with the other gasses nitrogen and oxygen and then exhaled because the body doesnt use c02. so this would change the ratio of oxygen nitrogen and carbon dioxide but not necesarily raise c02 levels unless there is a process that takes place that creates more c02 in the body during resperation meaning more was exhaled than inhaled. is anyone familiar with how this process actually works is c02 created in the body or is oxygen simply removed making the c02 ratio higher in the exhaled breath? as far as best c02 system thats simple c02 tank and regulator. i worked in aquaria most of the fermentation devices work ok but only for small areas if it is a big grow or aquarium a tank and regulator will be required for best results:peace:
I'd say yes. just got a CO2 meter and did a nice exhale on it and wound up with a 6000ppm reading.
