co2 is a gas that is very good for plants
and yes baking soda and vinegar make co2 but u just want it to drip in the soda....or else u will have a volcano

[FuZZyBUDz]

i was xpecting it to but ir really isnt im havin to do it every few hours but i think i need a bigger amount it only sizzles fer a second

Try yeast and sugar instead. Just as messy but releases at a slower, even rate.

Just mist your plants once a day or every other with tonic water/club soda. Apparently there is so much good stuff in there for the plants. table salt, sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium citrate, potassium sulfate, or disodium phosphate, and what have you. Word on the street.

I personally would go the yeast and suar route if you do not possess the fudns to actually get a co2 tank and regulator and such !! ...

 

[FuZZyBUDz]

hahahhaha werd! haha well ya the cash aint there yet but it will b soon but fer now im tryin to raise the co2 any way possible and that is fukin tripp bout sprayin em with that!!

Best advise in this thread!

Really? Spraying table salt on your plants?

I'll look into this, but having not heard of it before, I'm a bit skeptical of spraying the plants with all that sodium.

You say you do this often?

Sugar and Yeast in water that is.

It just takes a little bit of yeast and a lot of sugar (I'd look that up though if I were you, but it's about a table spoon of yeast, about half a cup of sugar in 2 liters of water - in a 4 liter jug).
Whatever container you use you'll want to make sure you only fill it up half way, because it will foam a lot (and possible shot out the top). After a while the yeast will have produced a lot of CO2 AND alcohol. You'll want to, without disturbing the mixture, pour out the top layer which will be mostly alcohol (the alcohol will eventually kill the yeast if the levels get too high) and add more water and sugar. The sediment on the bottom will still contain all the yeast, so don't lose any of that.

The cool thing I like about this is if you shake it up you get a huge blast of CO2.
