PLEASE HELP ME WILL this blow up or just supplement c02

gas from the dryer makes carbon MONOxide which will kill you and your plants, it does not make c02 which is what they pu tin your coke to carbonate it
I've been using the dryer to grow plants for many years - Never had a problem with any plants due to it's use.

When the appliance is operating properly, with a nice blue flame, the only products of combustion of natural gas are water vapour and carbon dioxide. You only get carbon monoxcide when a burner fails and in so doesn't burn off all the natural gas which then has carbon monoxcide mixed in with the carbon dioxide.

There are a ton of Co2 generators for growing plants on the market that use natural gas to make Co2.

ahh chuck.. you know I love ya, but you are a lil off on this one. Although you could be partially correct, a gas burner can produce CO, but typically doesn't unless it's running funky, but natural gas burns much cleaner in regards to CO than a typical gasoline engine.
ANY and ALL combustion processes will produce carbon dioxide. Some less than others, for example diesels put out les CO2.
hydrocarbon (gasoline) splits during combustion.
the hydrogen molecule part attaches to an oxygen molecule (from the oxidation process from the platinum in your catalyst) making water vapor, and the carbon part attaches to another oxygen molecule to form carbon dioxide.
CO is made when there isn't enough oxygen left to form CO2, usually from a rich running condition. OR a lean running condition.
typically a fuel mix of anything apart from stoichiometry
A properly running engine under fuel control will produce water vapor, carbon dioxide, and the aforementioned inert nitrogen (unchanged assuming the flame fronts don't exceed 2500 deg f., which would form NOx ,no3, no4, no5, whatever)
