Hi peops,
Just wondering if you experienced growers out there think co2 makes a big difference to yield.
I will be starting my second grow in a couple of weeks and have read Encatuse's link on how to make a "yeast co2 maker" and it seems quite simple but will it give me much more bud.
Cheers :D
I am not sure about the yeast co2, but Co2 increases yield dramaticly, I saw a 12 percent shift up on average when I added it to my room, but I have a Co2 diffuser system, so cannot answer anything about the yeast, but it makes sense.

Would co2 help in a low-intensity grow ?
Have a good one...Torog :D
Plants use Co2 as fuel and a rich supply certainly increases the growth rate no matter what lighting is used. This is especialy true in rooms with poor ventilation. You can have all the lights in the world, but without Co2 then photosynthesis is significantly hampered. Another consideration is that urban air contains about 5 x more Co2 than in rural areas. This is due to cars, population and various home heaters. Who would of thought that smog was ever a good thing! If you're growing in the winter months and need additional heat, then using a gas heater is excellent because the by-product of burning gas in water vapour + Co2.
Basicaly it aint gonna hurt, so try it out and let us know how it goes.
Thanks guys,
When I start the next grow I will try the yeast option and let you know if it makes a difference.
Cheers :D
unfucking real,,take the co2 and shove it out the fucking door,,percentages,amounts,all kinds of effects my ass,,,it is a waist of money and ideas(mind fucks yourself),,if you have the lighting,,thats all you need and a little air vent to prevent mold,,,,,,it is just another way to take your money for a grow that you can produce better if you no how,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,show me pics of c02,,,not a problem,,except for the money,,if runs out,,and no money,,now who is going to buy it...,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,worry your head over nothing at all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Jack
Hi Bro!! Well I had plenty of yeast in the house so I decided to try it as an experiment. So I took a 1 gallon jar and mixed my own, I bake a lot so I know a bit about yeast. I'm gonna use it for 3 days and see if I notice any differance at all. With only the 2 in full flower it should be plenty in a gallon. Nothing to lose, so why not right? I'll let ya know, Sis
hey sis,,you no i would send you this if i thought it would help,,,,,but,my opinion only,,,,ok some others as well,,,,,,anyway,,i have this tank full and sitting ,,,,,i used it only once ,,cuz a person recomened it to me,,we tried it out as a experiemt long ago,,,,to each his own,,i just wont use it,,and probably cuz i have suffecient air coming from outside as well,,so if no vent,,maybe use,,it cost me 4oo dollar for regulator,,,,170 dollars for tank and full,,,,,,,,i can exchange each time,,but,it just sits in grow room,,i just went in dark room now and recieved it for a pic,,which again i prove my self on light room and opening room,,,anyway,,anotherer story,,,,,,,,,yeast can also make beer,,,,,(and critters),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Jack(bro)
Hi ya Bro!! Yeah, I have it covered with cheeseclothe, so no bugs. I am kinda thinking of using a 10 gallon pail though. That way I can add 10 lbs of crushed fruit and make a decent wine. The health food store has the stuff that stops the fermentation so it won't go to vinegar (for 1.96 here). I don't drink but if I do put some up it may make nice gifts next Christmas. I'm thinking maybe apples and pears would be nice. Maybe more of a liquor than wine but it may be fun. Sis
hey sis,,i have a great question ,,what the heck are we talking about,,somehow yeast came into growing,,cuz i no yeast grows,,i cook as well,,and my yeast always overgrows the pans when i make bread,,so with that said,,am i lost again?????so,,no i yarn,,,yeast produces co2???thats prob why it grows from inside out?????when left to set,,,,,before even cooking yeast(bread ),,,,,bro,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,JackQuote:

In an indoor environement such as I have,(no outdoor air exchange) it may help the plants develop, or so I've been reading. I put 3 packages of yeast (disolved in warm water) with 1 cup of sugar into 3 quarts of warm (not hot) water. I put it in a gallon jar covered with cheeseclothe and held with a rubber band. Hope that helps, Sis :)
If you put it above the plants leaves you will be better off. CO2 is heavier than air and the plant breaths it through the surface of the leaves. Oh yeah, if you have all the CO2 in the world and crappy lighting or unhealthy growing medium or wrong temperature plant growth will hardly be affected.
2 plants. 1 400 hps. great soil mix, any questions? lol ty for the info
i am typing to my self now,,for later references,,,,,,,,,,one more thing i dont no is if or when i ever use again co2,,i will do it the right way only,,,around base of roots,,as it has been done and experiemented by me before,,,the roots need alot of stiff,,so when air is used by way of bottled,,,,the more the roots get,,the better the plant gets,,just a pros opinion,,,,and been done to many times to no different,,and i have done way to many different ways to do any way but my way,,,figure that one out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Jack
I think CO2 is used by the leaves primarily and the roots benefit from oxygen.
and if it wasnt for roots,,it wouldnt be a movie,,oops shit,,it wouldnt be a tree,plant,a living org,,,,,,,,roots,,not the movie,,the life force,,,comming to a theater near no one,,,,,,,,,Jack
Lmao Bro,... You're a hoot! Sis
Dont be fooled by bullshit people. Read anything ever written about weed and it says CO2 increases yields a shitload. Dont believe this about CO2 bieng a waste.
marry me,,i love you!!!!!Quote:

ha ha ha!!!!
Whats goin on hemphead? Thinkin about makin it up to canada? Where is a cheap place with alot of good bud for sale? Is there places to buy clones there? Or do you have to know people? Wouldnt it be cool to camp out in the woods and grow bud for a couple months? How much are clones. I think if I could buy a hundred clones I could make a 3 hundred thousand.
I'm almost in Canada, ya could camp out in the woods here and no one would find you! lol Jack's been helping me out as I knew NOTHING!! lol I'm trying though and at he's been nice enough to answer me with all my silly questions to his best ability. It's really to cold here most of the year to do anything outside though :( . LOL I have been reading a lot also. ty for your help, I appreciate it Kuu
my familys(dad)is from canada so is my dad,,,,if i need anything ill go to a mall in van,,,,m,m,m,,,or lasalle,,i might even have a half brother in winnapeg,,can remember how to spell it all,,,,so ,hello dad in canada,,,,,,,,,,,,Jack,,i love you!!!!!!!no matter what happened,,,,,,
i read somewhere that co2 wasnt even invented yet for the use of indoor grows,,,we did not have power back in the early days,,so,if i read anything ever about co2,,it will date back to the roman days,,,and weed,,,,(anything),,,,,JackQuote:

[B][U]WOW what emotion.
But getting back to original topic. I have decided to skip it for next grow because I am changing to hydro but the grow after I will try co2 so I have a comparison. Will only use the yeast method so I dont blow a shit load of wonga.
Thanks for all the input peops
ok,,now im jelous,,,i am from cattle and farm country,,we have been overrun by urbanites,,bullshitt!!!!i want to run with the cattle,,really i do!!!!,,,,,and i have ,,our nearest farm is now a shopping center.. once again ,,bullshitt,more power to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!jackQuote:
