co2 from candles??

[amniamhia]

hi all
i've started putting one of my large candles in my closet grow room for a
time during the day, as i live in a coldish climate and candles create heat & co2& water so therefore i see it as a pro active contribute as im on a low budget.... am i doing the right thing???

Thanks

i was tryin to save on heating and look for a co2 solution

thats pretty dangerous IMO.just make sure u dont have a candle going during its
dark cycle because when the plant sleeps "respires" it actually takes in oxygen and breathes out co2 just like us.
if u want some easy c02 try the vinegar and baking soda method, ive never tried it but i believe its just vinegar dripping from a bottle into a bowl of baking soda..must have to google it

blue flames are co2 flames..(propane butane etc etc.)

I wouldn´t suggest that i agree with smallclosetgrowr it could be dangerous and you mby burn down your house or smth :S

A source of recycled CO2 may be found in any natural gas or propane appliance, especially those with a pilot light. All such appliances produce CO2, when properly functioning, that is. A simple rule of thumb is: blue flame = CO2 or what we want, yellow flame = CO or carbon monoxide, deadly poisonous! It is merely a question of how to get the CO2 gas from the appliance to the grow room. If the appliance (furnace, hot water heater, stove, etc.) is anywhere near the grow room, then a simple duct system of dryer vent tubing running from the bottom of the appliance (remember, CO2 is heavier than air) to the grow room will suffice. A muffin fan placed on the room end of the tube, blowing into the room, would efficiently move the gas.

my co2 meter will reach 1500 to 2500 above a standard candle. Gas or propane makes it go off the charts though.

Ask Ed he knows his shit
How much co2 can a candle emit? Does it get PPM's up to 1500? Better mb for you to get one of those little organic co2 setups that come in a bucket.
