C02 Generator D.I.Y

[CapollaLabs]

Hey dudes,
Has anyone got any 'How to' guides for c02 generators, have been running co2 bags but think the generator would cut the cost in half atleast, Seen a couple videos about it but they dont really explain. I know i need some 1/4 inch plastic tubing and activated yeast just dont have a clue about the measurements(ppm and yeast/sugar ratio etc)
Thanks in advance guys

Whats the tubing for? All you need is a jug of sugar water and some yeast. When fermentation slows down add more sugar.
Champagne and turbo yeast have a higher tolerance to alcohol so they will last longer than bread or bear yeast

The ones ive seen videos on are like 2 1.5litre pop bottles with tubing going from one to the other then from that to the plants

Honestly if you are in a tent and exhausting hot air, co2 isnt doing a whole lot.

Are you venting the tent? If so then you are pumping out any CO2 WAY faster than it's produced.

I dont use intake/outtake to noisy for my liking, this is the reason i run co2 and LED lights + a couple fans

How do you cool the tent?

LED lights and 3 fans keep it around a steady 27/28 degrees

 

[Renfro]

Well if you really wanna CO2 enrich, buy a tank, regulator and controller.

This has me doubting. How do you control humidity?
My tent would be 90% humidity and an oven with no exhaust, even with my led and fans.

This is just a cheap tent dont wanna spend much and be buying/moving tanks want a cheap alternative

 

[Renfro]

Honestly I would forget about co2 enrichment. I agree with @Boatguy something doesn't line up. If there is no fresh air then the temperature and humidity should be out of control.

worst it gets is 50% humidity fine for me during veg

Any chance you would be willing to post some pics of your setup? I am curious how you are keeping the temp and RH% under control without any fresh air or air conditioning.
