It was recommended that I should place an oscilatting fan adjacent to a cooler with dry ice in it. Do you think water should be added, or just the dry ice by itself?
Yes you can. Look at Dry Ice Directory - Where to buy Dry Ice to locate some.Ok, here's the question....does dry ice produce co2, and can it be used in a grow room?![]()
dry ice is co2. co2 is odorless and you can die from co2 poisoning, dizziness, and light headed feelings are common before you pass out from lack of o2. luckily you plants produce o2 from the consumptions of co2, light and sugars to create photosynthesis. so you have a readily availble stockpile of o2 coming from you grow room. when using co2 tanks, or burners, it is a good idea to invest in an co2 ppm meter. co2boost.com, dry ice and ye ol yeast and sugar rarely reach more the 900-1500 ppm, unless you try to get all TTTMT (timthetoolmantaylor)
put some water in there. how is your exaust system, will you put it on a timer so you can use the co2 more effeciantly
my grow is in our closet which is an open faced walk in closet, so there is no door.
"If you are not using HID lighting, do not bother with co2. Simple as that."
whys that??
no video that is not what im saying at all. compensating high levels of co2 with the low levels of o2 the plant gives offwill not help in anyway. i was simply stating a fact, and clearly posted twice to be cautious using co2.sk3tch3, are you trying to say that the oxygen a plant gives off will save you from co2 poisoning, it sure sounds like that. If so, thats wrong.
Dryice can easily pass your 1500 ppm mark, and easily kill you. Do be careful.
Peace

most people dont have 20 years expirence with dry ice, and im sure most people dont get as elaborate as you do with it. co2 tank and regulator comes to mind.
i have used dryice, without a ppm meter. 2 lbs a day. it was my first grow and i dont know if it even helped.
im simply giving my two cents, are you trying to discredit me? it sounds like it.
anyway......
the aero garden is good to start plants, but you will quickly find you will need more room, more light and more root sapce. peace
why not?Do NOT mix water and dryice.
