Stinky. I forget that you're a chemist. I only wrote this thread to give those who think they must try it a few pointers. I can too easily visualize someone having a long forgotten bottle of carbon monozide leaking in thier closet, attic garage, ect. Or poisoning themselves or getting blown up in a grow room. I also reccomended that they do this outside. I also doubt if many knew that it's combustable.
I really don't see the point in this technique though. Once you get a female or two that you like just clone them. Seeds come in packs of ten. Do you really have to have ten females? I like to keep a male or two around (away from the rest of the grow) for crossing purposes and to make a few seeds. I like having some seeds around incase of a disaster.

Simply mix 2 part formic acid with one part sulfuric acid. 4.4.14 Production of Carbon Monoxide Obtaining the ingredients is not hard or very expensive. Formic acid can be gotten here: Formic Acid, 96%, Reagent, ACS, Chemistry Supplies and Laboratory Chemicals Sulfuric acid is avaliable through some auto parts stores. It's used as electrolyte in auto batteries. I have seen it at Wal-Mart in the automotive Rating: 5
