Composting inside for CO2, good idea/bad idea?

I have a couple gallons of fan leaf clippings in a bucket. If I press it down, put a cloth/screen over it (to keep bugs out) and point a fan towards it, will it emit some bonus CO2 inside my flowering room, over time?

I've been reading that some people don't think CO2 boosting is effective, but I'd like to test it for myself with something DIY, instead of spending money on new equipment.

Set up a CO2 meter and record the difference. I'm guessing it will not be a significant increase. Good luck with the test, report back!

I never thought of using compost, I second the idea of a Co2 meter. Maybe you could add 500 red worms too it and I think as long as it stays moist and under 80 degrees F they should live.

I'll check out some CO2 meters, they're pretty pricey on their own.

i looked into different methods of producing co2, and they all looked pretty ineffective, when you look at what it takes to actually effect growth, and how much co2 they really produce.
the most they can really use is 1500 ppm, but you can see a difference at 1000 ppm.
you'd need something like a 25 gallon res that you would add 24 pounds of sugar to at first, then keep adding yeast and about 3 pounds of sugar a week to, to keep it going. unless you mess it up and have to restart it. and this is for a 4x4x8 room.
i don't think a compost heap will produce anything meaningful, especially one small enough to fit in a bucket.

50 gallons in a 10x10x12 room only lasted me 5-6 days before tapering down. I only noticed it coz my regulator wasn't turning on

I tried it and stopped after about a month when bugs invaded the pile. I thought I was being all fuxin crafty... Piles out back now taking grass clippings, saw dust and cardboard like it should be.

bad idea indoors. composting brings many specie of pests, some good some not so much
