I HAVE READ MANY THREADS ABOUT CO2, BUT NEED TO KNOW YOUR HONEST OPINIONS. WOULD THE YIELD BE WORTH THE EXPENSE? I AM PLANNING ON PICKING UP TWO SMALL BOTTLES FROM MY WELDING STORE. ONE FOR MY VEG AND ONE FOR MY FLOWER. WILL I SEE ANY DIFF IN THE LAST 4 WEEKS OF MY FLOWER? OR AM I STARTING IT TOO LATE? THNX
You can make your own Co2 bottles..
You only need: some dry active yeast, some sugar and warm water!
Step 1, Put one liter off water in a bottle, then add 1/4 teaspoon off dry active yeast, then two cups of sugar; shake well, EVERYTHING must be disolved.. When you have done that, add ½ a liter of warm water shake until disolved, again...!
Put two or three of those bottles in your grow room, and you will see improved growth..
P.S. you need to see some bubbles in the water to know if it's a succses...!:D
Razta Kaze gave me this recipe!:)
IF I DO THAT IN 1 GALLON BOTTLES, HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO CHANGE EM? THNX
yes its very good indeed, all you need is a hps presuming you have that already, you will probably need to change the bottles when there are no bubbles rising.
K. FOLLOWED YOUR RECIPE. NOW,,,, DO THE BOTTLES NEED TO BE KEPT DARK? LIKE IN WINE MAKING? I HAVE MINE IN VIEW OF MY HEATER, SO IT STAYS ABOUT 70/75 DEGREES. IS THAT TOO HOT? ALSO,, MY FLOWER ROOM IS 4'Dx6'Wx6'H. HOW MANY GALLON BOTTLES DO I NEED FOR THAT SPACE? AND I PUT A 1/2 GALLON BOTTLE IN MY VEG ROOM. 3Dx3Wx6H. ALSO, THEY'LL BE MAKING CO2 24/7. IS THAT OK? DO THE PLANTS NEED A QUIET TIME? (OH GRASSHOPPER, U HAVE SOO MANY QUESTIONS). WILL POST PICS OF THE SET-UP. THNXQuote:

I keep my bottles right under the lights.. I have no idea if this is bad, I'm only seeing good growth!:D
When the bubbles disapear, then you will need to change them!:)
Rasta told me, I could put another cup of sugar in there and shake, but my bubbles are still bubbling!:) been bubbling now for about 3 days!:)
I CHECKED THE VEG ROOM THIS MORNING,,,, I THINK I FOUND A WAY TO COVER UP THE WEED SMELL. SMELLS LIKE YEAST NOW, NOT WEED. HE HE
For real...can you take pic's so we can see the progress
You sjould see the bubbles almost right away..!:)Quote:
