candle for Co2

[amneziaHaze]

i have been stalking some forums and i found about this




what are your opinions on using candle for co2? i know its a huge fire hazard but except that doesnt look bad

 

[Nope_49595933949]

Probably better than those silly mushroom bags but not sure I'd risk an open flame in my tent. Just not worth it to me.

If you are in a tent … CO2 is a moot point .
Since air exchange ( fans ) are involved.

last thing i need is plant thinking uuu more light lets get closer to it.

but maybe in the room that the box is in...
i dont need co2, just didnt know one candle can give soo much

The candle will certainly generate CO2, but as mentioned, it's a matter of ensuring that it's available to the plants.

If you have a co2 meter, you can objectively evaluate.

The effectiveness of CO2 enrichment is primarily dependent on your setup as far as air exchange, use of a lung room, temps, etc.

CO2 can work well in a tent but takes a bit of planning to ensure you're not immediately exhausting what you've created.

I wouldn't sleep well knowing there's an open flame in my grow room; even if done in a "sensible" way.

i'd be worried if the levels got up too high too like 3000ppm. you'd need to have a setup/sensor to exhaust or intake fresh to get it back to safe levels

Why would anyone use a scented candle that could affect the taste of the bud? Think ONO.

 

[amneziaHaze]

ono is a cemical specifically designed to bind to smells. dont know if scented candle binds soo well after burning doesnt matter it was used just to test ppms

Use a alcohol lamp instead.. burns cleaner and no scent gets on plants

i think @OldMedUser uses one

Yup... ive used them (because of oldmed)in the past and could see how it was benifitting the plants..

i've got about 3 smoke detectors and 2 of those exploding powder balls in my grow area and the thought of an open flame still scares the crap out of me. lol.

Why did you stop?

 

[farmerfischer]

Why did you stop?

Im not growing indoor right now.. oh and i want to add i wasnt in a tent.. i probably wouldnt use one in a tent either..
I was in a room when i was using them

I was using a metal tray to hold the lamp incase of a spill some how.. that way it was contained if that happend and wouldnt catch anything on fire.. (was my hope anyway)

30 lbs of relatively fire-proof CO2 generation
1 box per tent seems to work out well

As long as you use precautions (don't want to burn your house down) candles are great. Especially in winter if you're at a latitude where a few extra degrees of temp might help. Go with unscented candles though.

our cat has a serious drug problem. i've got to keep him out of the grow room or he'll need rehab (again)

 

[MonsterDrank]

Oh come on guys.. using candles to generate co2 that you think will be beneficial on a scale to which it really matters?? This sounds ridiculous. The fire hazard aspect alone makes me think this is a terrible idea.

 

[DoobieDoobs]

No way, I wouldn't mess with fire, even if using candles tripled the amount of weed a plant can produce, I wouldn't do it.

A good well enough grown plant can already produce an enormous amount of weed .
