or is it a waste of money?
Is it common for growers to not use any C02 enhancement and still grow ok?
The cost and the various yeast/sugar methods seem impractical and questionable.

Ok, first CO2 yes does help your plants. Second that yeast and sugar method only works well with large amounts. A 2 liter bottle will not work. Also yes you can grow marvelous crops without enhanced CO2. There are also many other methods for CO2. For instance, if you like wine or beer, you could brew your own and use the CO2 from the brew for your grow. That way you could have the best of both worlds. "B&B"; Beer and Buds. Who can complain with that right?! Also, dry ice produces CO2, but I wouldn't recommend that. On another note, if you do plan on using a CO2 tank, be sure to know the levels of CO2 being emitted into your grow room (know your PPM!!!!) because too much can be toxic for yourself and could kill you. So, with that being said, I wouldn't incorporate any type of CO2 unless you know what your doing, not just think you know!Quote:

Do you want the CO2 running through out both cycles?
i have herd the best way to add additional co2 without all the hassle of co2 tanks yeast/sugar methods ect is to simply mist them with bubbly water such as soda water
that doesn't do anything, but it is a common belief ... :smokin:Quote:

It is quite common to grow without this. It is not needed to get your plants producing their ideal genetic potential.
