Im on my way to pickup a 5lb and was wondering some tips and tricks to running it. I know the proper amount and time to run it but having trouble running the tubing. How do you properly put openings in the tubing for perfect flow. :rasta:

To second this question, does anyone have ideas in using dry ice for co2 as well as a yeast and sugar mix or even seltzer water? are all good souces of supplemental co2 for small grows? Ive seen and read many applications of these co2 sources but would like to hear what the experts have to say on this topic..know of any other simple, cheap and easy co2 sources for small grows?
It suprises me that nobody has responding to this thread...id assume most growers on this site would use CO2 as even an idiot knows its contribution to plant growth..perhaps people just dont want to share their knowledge. o well, thats why we experiment!
Yes. I have resisted responding because I don't want to share my knowledge. :rolleyes:
It could be because I was busy. Or had the flu. Or both.
Or because CO2 is the last thing you should be worrying about if you are a noobie. The atmosphere has more than enough for your plants as long as your ventilation doesn't suck. Concentrate on getting everything else perfect before you fuss with CO2- read up on the concept of the 'limiting factor'...
CO2 tank- Tubing only needs one hole- the one in the end. Tape it to your oscillating fan that you already have in your grow room. Read Rhizome's growroom setup sticky. It's all explained clearly, with the volume/leak time/pressure calculation.
Dry ice- Get a heavy duty large plastic cooler. Drill a few 1/4" holes in the lid. Put the dry ice iin the cooler. When it is gone, put more dry ice in the cooler.
Vinegar/baking soda- Get a gallon of distilled vinegar. Take a fridge lemonade dispenser with a spigot built in, and rig it so it drips just a few drops per minute. Put the vinegar in it and put it on a shelf. Below it, take a stainless steel stock pot and put a mound of baking soda on the bottom. Put it under the vinegar. When either the vinegar or the baking soda run out, replace them.
Even an idiot knows how to use the search button.Quote:

You can run higher temperatures with CO2 however not into the 90's. You will need an external source of cooling. Which is why CO2 setups are so difficult to maintain; not to mention the initial start up costs.
But again even an idiot would know that. Sorry to waste your time :hippy:
If it seems like my post is sarcastic that is because it is. Search!!!
I agree with Dai. My hydro guy ( who IS an expert btw) says unless you can get the numbers up to 1500 and beyond (which requires a sealed room I believe) you can play with your seltzer and baking soda etc etc etc all you want and it won't make much difference.
Dai...thanks, we needed that. It never ceases to amaze me how many people not only think....but EXPECT the rest of the world to immediately hop-to when they have an issue.....but can't be bothered to do the work themselves.
At least you got an answer with all your sarcasm:thumbsup:
Hey thanks! I appreciate that so much! Dai - who knew youd be so right about the search button..heres what i found..."Sarcasm is proverbially said to be the lowest form of wit".. hmm maybe i should rely on that search button for all my info.
Naw am not here to start nothing, and didnt mean to offend anyone by using the wordin i chose in my post or the tone it might have gave off..was just lookin for a response for myself as well as masterkush after 3 weeks of nothing. thats all. gracias para la informacion que tu me dio! adios
lol you didn't mean to offend anyone but you include an insult in your response to everyone.Quote:

Nothing i posted was sarcasm. I meant it all. If you dont know that CO2 increases photosynthesis rate than id call you an idiot. nothing sarcastic about that. The only insult i had was directed toward you specifically for being such a dick with the search button talk. If you re read my first post i wasnt asking about the use of CO2 i was asking about how people have their systems set up and what works for them and alternatives people have come up with besides valve systems that they've seen success in, something you cant always find with a search engine. This forum to me is much better than a search button" because you have the ability to discuss and learn from others who have tried it or have more experience with it first hand. A true resource. If its a waste of your time to comment and you think i didnt do enough initial research then just pass over it..no big deal. no hard feelings here. peace and good growing.
perhaps use the search button? you can use more then one word ya know, and can choose specific forums, so uh lets see co2 or co2 setup or perhaps look into growroom setups in the growroom setup forum? besides dai is anything but a dick, knowledgable one, daihashi is quite, young paddewan
haha ill assume you meant 'young padawan' refering to the Jedi rank. i like it though, gave me a good laugh. Did u know there are two registered Jedi churches in the US? couple in the UK i think too. anyways im sure dai is not a dick at all and ive actually read through both his grows and his shit looks like some dank nuggets and i have no doubts he knows what he is talking about, just no reason for the condesending tone tho whether he is right or wrong.
So what was the point of adding idiot if it wasn't for sarcastic tone unless you were trying to be an ass towards a group of people who don't know about CO2.Quote:

So you admit to attacking me for replying to your post, answering your question and informing you to use the search button? Apparently you didn't know about the search function otherwise you wouldn't of posted this question?Quote:

Or perhaps you posted the question because you were too lazy to search? Tell me now.. who is the dick? Me for showing you how to answer the majority of your own questions in the future? or you for Making a sarcastic post and then calling me a dick after I answered your post .... or you again for possibly choosing not to use the search feature because asking was easier.
You miss the point. You are wanting to discuss something that's been rehashed and hashed over again and again and it was OBVIOUS you hadn't attempted to search for the questions you were asking for.Quote:

Here is a search that took me 5 seconds:
Cannabis.com Forums Message Boards - Medical Marijuana, Cannabis Club, Dispensary, News - Search Results
In there you will find answers to the questions you asked. After getting your base set of knowledge and attempting it yourself then maybe post further questions in here. Thing is that there is not 1 answer for everyone when asking about nutes, lights, CO2... it is different for every grower and every strain. So asking someone how it worked for them isn't accurate depiction of what it will do for you.
If you are talking about sugar/yeast/water or dry eyes or seltzer water as your supply of CO2 then it's obvious that you don't have your basics mastered and shouldn't even be thinking of CO2.
If I seem rude then maybe you should check the tone of your initial post and then your follow up post where you single me out directly.
Good luck with your grow.
haha ok ill take back calling you a dick and ill go ahead and say maybe im an idiot and a dick..a dickidiot. I thought the search button you were refering to were engines such as just google and yahoo, ect. Being fairly new to this site, i didnt even know there was a search filter within..very nice and thank you for not giving up on getting your point across, because i see it now and got the answer i was looking for! Ill try to look you up when i post some pics of me ladies when they fat and stinky, maybe catch some advice from ya then. peace
Guys will you PLEASE fucking knock it off? What is it, a full moon?
Actually.....I think they are bonding.....interesting ritual isn't it? :D
