Mr I Can Do That For Half
How much you need? Always generators, injectors,dry ice, vinager and baking soda, sugar and yeast.

20 oz bottle half filled with warm water
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. dry yeast
cap the bottle and put a hole in the cap the size of fish tank air tubing insert tubing and suspend above your plants.
Every third day change half of the water and add 3 tbs sugar.
baking soda and vinigar work but you have to make a slow drip for the vinigar to come in contact with the soda so yeast is the easiest way.

Hey Splifman....I have mine plugged in with my lights, so yes it is on a timer. However, it did not come with a timer, it's just plugged into my timer. I hope this helps.
Peace

Yes they are pretty much the same thing. The oil lamps are like a more refined kerosene. Poppa Dukes has about 15 of them lol. He just loves the olden days.

Paulio this lasts you two months? Thats pretty impressive to say the least.
Use 5 or 6 cups of sugar in a 1 gallon container, make sure the container has a fitted lid. Add half a gallon of water to the sugar along with a couple of tablespoons of active yeast.Poke a small, pencil-like hole in the lid and place it on top of the container.
As often as possible shake the container to blend the mixture thoroughly. In one or two days the yeast will grow and co2 will be a by-product in the container. Now, every time you shake it a burst of co2 will be released into the grow room. Also it will continue to be released through the hole in the lid while you are away. You'll have to change the mixture once every 2-3 weeks.

Yes, but I forgot to add (and I'm not even high lol) that I used BROWN SUGAR!!! Maybe there is something in it that preserves everything longer, not sure. It was all I had at the time and I said fuck it! The smell was weird for a few days, but then it smelled delicious!!

I have a question about this co2 bottle. I just made one out of water bottle and put a air pump hose down in it about 2 inches into the bottle & when it bubbles and gets on the lid I have it hanging above one of my pots and it drips into the soil. Is this bad or good, should it not drip on the plants? It fell right on to a sprout. And how long should I leave it in without fan? Leave in and take out or leave in at all times?

I have used brown sugar as well, The yeast just needs some sort of energy does not really matter what it is, hell you can use raw rice for that matter. Juice works well if you dont have sugar just put in straight juice and some yeast then you will have some wine too!
Yes plants dont like this liquid on them. Whats the air pump for? lol If you are trying to recreate a bucket, it pulls air from the bucket not pump it in.

I didnt say I was using an air pump. I said air pump hose. Like as in a fish tank air pump the clear plastic tubing. I moved it from there and just placed it in the center of the pots. All it needs is to bubble and bust and it gets in the air correct? and they feed off of that?

Co2 is heavier than air so it needs to be above your plants. For the first couple days they need shaken up to keep them from over flowing like yours did. I just barly put my hose in the cap so as to not have any liquid falling down on my bladies.
I have read that if you ca not place them over your plants with tubing or straws or something place your bottle in front of your fan and it will evenly disribute the co2 in your grow.

Would it be reasonable to turn it on for 15 minutes every hour or two for the entire light cycle? would it give off enough CO2?
The reason I'm asking is because I am trying to work out my ventilation system and trying to figure out if adding CO2 will work. I would need to turn off the ventilation while the CO2 was on in order for it to work. 15 minutes might even be too long. The temp might get too high if its off for that long. Maybe 5 or 10 minutes every hour?
