CO2 in the grow room
I have a 2'x2'X3' grow room. I read about adding CO2 to your room to make the plants grow better. In a book I read, the Cannabis Grow Bible, it said that CO2 can possibly double your yeild. What I was thinking, since CO2 generators are expensive, to do the baking soda and vinegar reaction that will release CO2. I calculated about 1 lb of baking soda reacted completely with vinegar every other day inside the grow room will give the plants plenty of CO2. Just an interesting thought. Any comments?

CO2 in the grow room
Well i dont know about all that. When it comes to growing I like to think simple, not in C02 or any of that. Basically, fresh air is your friend.

Not true rasta, you could have fresh air circulating in and out of the plants, but CO2 would do the ultimate growing trick. CO2 can doulbe your yield, if it doesnt double, your bound to get more then the usual

lol very true, can't go wrong with simplicity. I was just curious to see if anyone thought to do the baking soda and vinegar reaction. Thanks for the comment, hope your new grow room works out great for you Rasta.

CO2 in the grow room
Thanks Rasta. So here's what me and some of my bioengineering friends calculated (They used equations and shit I'd never seen before, so hopefully they're right). React 723 grams of baking soda completely with vinegar for a 200 cubic foot room, we guessed approx. 627grams of vinegar for this reaction. This equation, however, is more than enough, so you can however much or however little you want. And i would do this every other day or every third day. I don't know how fast the reaction proceeds, so you might not want to do it all at once and have all the CO2 ventilated out of the room. I would really like to know how well it works. Thanks again Rasta!

CO2 in the grow room
Hmm rasta, I wouldnt exactly know on how much to use because I my self have never used CO2 because I get the normal yield and most the time a higher yield. I would suggest posting this in Advanced Techniques, where others with more knowledge can get to ya. Anyways good luck with that grow rasta! and dont forget to make a log on cannabis.com ;D.

CO2 in the grow room
Oh, and don't do this during the dark hours (if you're flowering) because plants do not do photosynthesis during the night so it'd be useless.

There's a calculater for your help. Yes you shouldnt do this without your lights on, like he said photosynthesis.
