Hamster vs bottled CO2

I'd say yes. just got a CO2 meter and did a nice exhale on it and wound up with a 6000ppm reading.

What happens when you drink some beer or soda and then burp in front of the meter ?

thats funny a high reading im sure

So I guess I should take my lab off the tread mill in my growroom 12 hour a day??????

ok hamster vs bottle co2 well its not 6000 ppm have to figure hamster is smaller than a human so i just went looked up hamster exhale on wiki and its .3ppm so no not enough and to respon to how much co2 is in a 20lbs cylnder its 20lbs duhhhh well 15 give or take

Doing a quick search resulted in 1680 cubic feet for a 20 lb'er. But CO2 is not measured in cubic feet since its partially liquid in the bottle.

A good reason why my customers change the N2 and He hp bottles via pressure and the CO2 via weight.

yes true co2 is a liquid at relatively low pressures compared to other gasses and must be filled by weight and not pressure like other gasses. this is good because you can stuff alot more c02 in a certain size container than you could with other gasses also less dangerous less pressure

You'll need to test this. I suggest you find a high school student who is looking for a science fair project

AWESOME! And only six! The steroid costs for them has gotta be killer.
(though with the 'roids, you can train them as attack hamster too )

lol seriously though the other day i bought 8 pounds of dry ice and let it disolve in my grow plants go crazy instant growth my next goal is a co2 system(tank)
