Co2 ??

When I was a kid I remember my parents made their own root beer. They used this thing to Carbonate the root beer.
Question what if I carbonanated water and used it to water my plants???
Would the CO2 help or kill the plant??
I just smoked a pipe load and just had to run this by and hope someone here with some knowlage would answer my ponder..
Peace

I have wondered this myself! I have asked other growers, and gotten nothing more than a huh....

spraying caronated water on ur plants will help but not much.. ur better off making a system withe yiest and sugar or a drip system with lemon juice and baking soda... theres lotsa diy threads with these on here

This. I would suggest that carbonated water sprayed on seedlings or clones is most helpful.

Yea but what about the root system?

Roots consume oxygen, leaves consume CO2. I would expect CO2 infused water to be detrimental to roots. Don't know for sure, just a guess. Wouldn't do it myself. If you do, let us know how it works.

Thanks for getting me straight on that, You know how an idea sounds so great when your loaded.

Maybe I need some CO2 LOL

I spend way too much time in my room with the co2 running, I know it can kill u, I should really google up the effects of co2..

I wouldn't worry about it man. Takes upwards of 5000PPM to start to get toxic to humans.

If I were to sleep in my room with 5 plants would I produce enough c02 for them every night??

Probably woudn't hurt, you could double it by asking your GF to help out...

How do you keep a good Co2 level in a tent with a intake and exhaust fan? Or Do you guys suggest only running an intake fan?

Q1: You don't. Unless you spend a lot of cash on CO2
Q2: No. Exhaust only.
Just my .02

Well, if you have a air cooled hood in a closed system, and your ambient temperatures aren't too hot, you may be able to shut off all ventilation while the CO2 is being pumped in...

You don't run an intake or exhaust fan for a sealed room. Intake will push air out also, air will be displaced, C02 lost, hell your cooling will be lost. What we do instead is take the intake hole and hook that to one end of you light hood duct, now run a fan in there and run the exhaust side out of the other hole. Now the light hood is exhausted without using any air in the tent, it sucks it from outside and it blows it back out there too.

Drain to waste C02 would be expensive even with the natural gas generator I use. lol And yeast, piss all that stuff is a joke I turned off my generator and tried a coupe of them right by the sensor, you want high C02 levels DO exchange the air in your tent a lot. That is better then piss and yeast, sugar or whatever lol
