help homemade CO2

[medicatedman]

I am looking for some advise, someone had mention about making your CO2 with vinger and baking soda. I am on a budget right now due to my disabilty (2nd Knee surgery) would like to know if anyone has ever tried this and how much do I mix and what goes in frist. Once I can afford it I will buy me a CO2 system.:stoned:

Look, don't know if that works, but using CO2 properly is a real big chore. The advantages are minimal.

You need to be able to shut off the air exchange so they can absorb the CO2, plus then venting, plus this, that, and any other PIA set of rules that go with it.

In 20 some odd years of growing, I see no need for the CO2, only more work. I get great production without anything except Molasses.

Thanks for the advise, I heard about CO2, and friends have told me, also have seen many people buying it at hydro shop so I was wondering can't afford a tank and all thestuff due to on disabilty from my second Knee surgery. Started to look cheaper alternative and thanks again for they advise:stoned:

W.W. knows of what he speaks.:)

If you have high temperatures, high enough to wilt da girls, CO2 will help them cope.
A normal grow, with normal temperatures will show little, if any, benefit.
In the long run, vinegar/soda, is actually quite expensive, as is dry ice.
Tanks n regulators are downright pricey as well.:(

So, I asked my se'f, "what would bubba do?":)

If, your temps run high >85F.
You can always buy jugs of Costco fruit juices and add a cup of sugar and a pack of D-47 Champagne yeast.
That mixture, sitting in the :cool:est corned of a grow room, will slowly, and organically;), emit CO2 for a month, and then will be a surprisingly good fruit wine!:rastasmoke:

Details if ya need'em.
I'm easy to find.
