I do yeast and sug method in ketchup bottles and hang them from rope from the ceiling of the room. The rope lets me cap them and shake them when ever I find the time.

The guy at the hydro store wanted me to buy some CO2 tablets but I thought they were too expensive, I'll try out some when I get some money.
easyest way is to fill a bowl with baking soda , and have a slow dripper of vinigar into the bowl
If CO2 is heavier than air, how is it in our atmosphere? Just wondering. The Baking soda bowl and vinager made me wonder that.
co2 cans for bb guns work great pop one or two open a day clean and easy
Bushy old grower used this idea and I am sure you have seen his nugs . I personal bought a tank .
Goodluck
Air is made up of oxygen and co2 , we breath in oxygen and breath out co2, plants and trees breath in co2 and breath out oxygen its a cycle. plants let 80% of there oxygen out though the roots of a night.I dont water during dark hours at all.Quote:

simple maintenance was every other day (i believe) dumped out 1/2 the water and added fresh luke warm with more sugar.
not sure how effective it was.. but it did make co2!
I think I will just get my pellet gun and shoot my plants up everyday with air lol. Pah pah pah! PaH pAh pAH! Imagine what my neighbors would think lol.
u know what thats actually a pretty good question i never reeally thought about, if our green house gas is co2 then h0ow the hell does it get up there? that is that co2 is pretty heavy compared to other gases, good observation on thinking... just to let every one know that u should have your c02 preduced at canopy level so it falls down, fans and exhaust may make this close to impossible tho, at least for me the c02 owould be in and out faster then u could say....
I wish I had some nice cash-money to spend on a tank. I would just put my fans on a timer then 3 times a day the fans would shut off for an hour and the CO2 would then be released for 15 mins and soak in for 45 mins. Now all I have is a timer to put the fans on and a DIY (do-it-yourself) CO2 setup.
