Dry Ice?

[the.fatman.cometh]

Ok, here's the question....does dry ice produce co2, and can it be used in a grow room?

 

[cincismoker]

hell yea dry ice is a great source of co2 an will be great for the grow room

Thank you cincismoker, how does one harness the power of the dry ice?

 

[cincismoker]

just set in a box or cooler and point a fan towards ur babys

 

[the.fatman.cometh]

What amounts per how much water should I use?
How long does it last, etc.?

 

[cincismoker]

well it melts faster than regulat ic 5-10 pounds a day

 

[the.fatman.cometh]

Whoa, is that excessive? Where can you buy that much dry ice without lookin wierd, and how could you explain it?

 

[the.fatman.cometh]

And should it be a constant thing? Or only during the light cycle?

dry ice santa cruz - Google Search

i just typed in googlw dry ice and then the city.
most ice companies or suppliers as well as welding supply companies should carry the amount you need. if you have a 68qt ice chest you can buy in bulk and keep it in there.use it as you need, it will cool a beer to frost in about ten minutes too.

well arond here theres a couple of place that have dry ice you just have to look. and i dont realy think ud have to explain urself say ur freezer died or something lol

 

[the.fatman.cometh]

Huh, well I try to avoid looking "suspicious". I wouldn't say I live in a small city, but that would be noticable I think.
I don't know. Well, is it harmful to people? I live in an apartment and it is a closet grow...only thing is that there is no door, it is an open faced walk-in closet.

 

[cincismoker]

i dont think its harmfull just keep the room ventilated

 

[the.fatman.cometh]

Does it have any kind of odor?

 

[neverever]

Would the amount of co2 that it puts out be worth it? I have no idea how much it is?

 

[sk3tch3]

dry ice is co2. co2 is odorless and you can die from co2 poisoning, dizziness, and light headed feelings are common before you pass out from lack of o2. luckily you plants produce o2 from the consumptions of co2, light and sugars to create photosynthesis. so you have a readily availble stockpile of o2 coming from you grow room . when using co2 tanks, or burners, it is a good idea to invest in an co2 ppm meter. co2boost.com, dry ice and ye ol yeast and sugar rarely reach more the 900-1500 ppm, unless you try to get all TTTMT (timthetoolmantaylor)

 

[the.fatman.cometh]

Thank you sk3tch3 very insightful. So is the 900-1500 ppm safe then?

 

[cincismoker]

tttmt i like that lol

 

[sk3tch3]

Thank you sk3tch3 very insightful. So is the 900-1500 ppm safe then?

1500ppm is ideal for plants 2500 could lay you out. some growers will crank it up that high inbetween grows to kill pests and fungi.

as with anything we do we gotta keep safety in mind. you dont cut corners off a square to make a circle

 

[the.fatman.cometh]

Hmm, so take it easy on the dry ice, I got ya, thanx for the knowledge.

 

[sk3tch3]

im not sure but i think it might be kinda hard to get ppm that high with dry ice. you should be fine using plenty of it. as long as ventilation is good, will you be going with dry ice, if so how do you plan on applying it?
