I was just reading one of my cannabis books, and it's talking about co2 regulation etcetera. It says the amount you'll need in a small growing closet is about the amount a candle regularly releases. But then it tells you "DON'T USE A CANDLE!!!"

Well, that statement is made for pretty obvious reasons, but candles are quite a bit cheaper then CO2 tanks and their regulating counter-parts. So my question is:

Do you think if I built a 'steel cage' with a few holes in it, with a lid that screws on. Could I safely put a large lit candle in it and place it a good 2 feet away from anything except a concrete floor? I figure if I do this, it's a good way to get co2 in the room since I won't have alot of money for my first grow.. I figure If I keep it so there are only a few small holes that should be enough oxygen for the candle to stay lit, as well as let the co2 escape. And since its in a cage, if it gets knocked over odds are it will go out and provide far less of a fire risk.

Any thoughts/advice/YOURSTUPID's about the idea?
