Exhale CO2 bags

[harrychilds]

Hi I'm thinking about buying a Exhale bag for my 4x4 setup. Do I need to worry about excess CO2 in the house or the grow room? Could the excess CO2 kill me or the plants? Can I use the exhale bag from the start when the plants are seedlings? I'm super confused and paranoid about CO2 poisoning. Will the plants be okay without a exhale bag seeming as I am in the room all the time anyway?

No your good I use them in my 5x5 for about 4 years and I'm still alive

Thanks dude

I'd have the opposite concern: Do they measurably increase the CO2 levels?

dont see the point of using co2 in anything under 5x5 sealed room, in a tent you will be in there regularly so theirs your co2 as you exhale( excuse the pun )...
also you will have an exhaust in your tent again you will be removing the co2 so why have it - dont waste your time and money dude- my views only

Not to the level that they claim on the packaging, but yes, they do work. Not a replacement for a tank but they’re worth a few bucks for small scale growers. They do produce noticeable increase in yield if you run 2-3x the recommended amount of bags for your space.

Kudos on the successful harvest but you can't attribute your great results to the CO2 bags unless you're doing an A/B comparison.

Until someone with a CO2 meter shows empirically the bags raise CO2 levels in a tent, I'm a skeptic.

It’s been done, put a couple in a 4x4 and you’ll gain 4-500 ppm.

Am using exhale 365, was running hommade co2 with it. Id say any co2 increase when lights come on is of value to the plant. They will suck up alot of co2 under intense light. Temp and rh and feed will all go up with rising co2. Those 4 things are the backbone of any grow. I also suck air from floor of tent into canopy as co2 is heavier than o2.

I use two XL size in a 4 X 8 room, not sealed. I place them on the floor opposite of the exhaust up high and it draws the gas up thru the plants and out. I've used them and sometimes not and I'm convinced they make an impact. They are supposed to last for 6 months, I tend to add new ones to the room every 4 months.

Don't waste your time

I’ve actually done a test for 2 months with a co2 recorder. They add absolutely nothing to a room, just breathing in your house adds more than any bag will do

save your money.

I was hoping someone with CO2 meter would chime in. Hard to argue with an empirical measurement rather than anecdotal experience.



30 lbs. of CO2 enrichment outside growroom door is likely far more effective than the bags

 

[MidnightSun72]

A CO2 bottle refill costs less than these bags and is guaranteed to get your numbers up.

Those bags are a complete waste of money. And to top it off many of the people using them put them in a tent with and exhaust fan running so any small amount of Co2 they produce is sucked out of the tent anyway. Save your money for beer or something like additional light.

Hi , no disrespect to anyone but this guy it’s 100% right. I did the same test in a sealed room to find out the same results. I was very disappointed. Playing around with the co2 meter I found out a house of 3 with a central ac system the co2 ppm fluctuates between 700 - 3000 ppm

happy growing

Anyone who says the bags are useless obviously never bought them............. people have preconceived notions that they do or don't work. There's loads of reports using them with great success.

I recorded all the data and posted it in my journal. I don’t lie about 7lb harvests like you with your baby little foot tall plants.

What did your CO2 meter show when you used the bags?

Anyone who says they are not useless doesn't know what they're talking about. I don't have to waste my money to come to the conclusion that they're worthless.

Testimonials on the website and Amazon reviews are garbage and mean nothing. Those bags are worthless but feel free to waste your money on them. I'd rather spend it on a couple steaks and a bottle of wine.

The only reason they sell those bags is because people are foolish enough to waste their money on them.
