Liquid co2 in humidifier…will it work?

[Sir Piffington]

I’m in my second week of flower. 3 plants from mystery seeds. All females, 1 is budding, the other 2 are showing pistols. I was wondering if liquid co2, pumped through the humidifier with water, would add a lil something something to my grow. Bigger buds, increased yield, etc. could this work?

A better light would have the most profound impact on quality and yields.

Thx man

What is liquid CO2?

 

[Hollatchaboy]

Liquefied co2, is a compressed gas. You would somehow have to compress it going into humidifier. If you have a co2 tank, just get a regulator, and controller.

I know what liquefied CO2 is but it's not something you can add to water and have it go out with your humidifier.

At STP CO2 is either a solid or a gas with no liquid phase.

OldMedUser is absolutely correct. Throw dry ice ( solid CO2 ) into a water container and you will get nice cold gaseous CO2 boiling into whatever air space you vent it towards. Neat to look at, but not sure what it would truly accomplish or if it could be feasibly maintained with any sort of regularity. Just a chemist adding my two cents.

A tiny flame will do more than anything else. Problem is fire is dangerous. you would quickly see CO2 reach into the 1200s from a simple tea light candle or 2. Problem is safety, can you make it safe to have a flame. Now you have a sealed room or tent to keep your CO2 up and heat is building because you aren't exhausting air and exchanging air. What's your answer

Co2 burner and air conditioner.

Only worth adding co2 once you already have dialled in and maxed out all other parameters.. light, temp, humidity.. once they are all pushed to the limit then co2 will allow you to push a little further.
