Homemade CO2 production

[rnf232s]

I know the importance of CO2 in the grow room and I knew having extra would be a good idea but I never wanted to spend the money to get a system to make extra CO2, but today I read a cheap and easy homemade way to get extra CO2.

All you do is take a gallon jug like say a milk carton and fill with a pound of sugar and mix enough water in to dissolve all the sugar. Then put yeast in there and cap it off. Lead a tube from the cap of the container to your plant area and you have your own homemade CO2 production for nearly nothing spent at all.

Oh shit, my bad. Well sawleaf, I guess we might read the same books then. Has anybody ever tried this method with success?

This thread is kinda old now, but I got a couple questions. What do you mean by cap it off and put a tube going from the cap. you mean take the cap off and put a tube on it, whats the tube for? And do we even know if this works?

I was thinking of doing this, and just letting the container sit in the room (my closet)

From what I gathered is it meant like put the milk lid back on a make a small hole in the lid. Then have like a plastic tube lead it to where you want it to be. I am sure it wont matter if you put in the middle of the plants though. I dont know for sure if works, but want to try it. I read it out of a hydroponics growing book from the library, so who knows.

Im sure it probably works if you read it out of a published book.

Actually I forgot where I read it, but it was on some website. I picked up one of those humidity bubblers from a petstore and it was perfect. Container sealed up nicely, had a large opening, and the cap had two nipples for multiple hoses. I think it was only like a few bucks. But a gallon milk container is cheaper still.
