Exhale bags = the SHIZNIT

These little 35 dollar investments are the shit. Seriously, no tanks to move around. No gas to buy, no heat, just pure CO2.

Added 1 to each of the grow tents. activates under teh heat and light, stops working when they turn off. Just a fungus in a bag with compost. seriously if you don't use co2 give these a shot. my girls perked up and reacted only aftger a few hours.

absolutely genious way to supplement co2 when your growing in tents.

also note that I bought these after the picture of my avatar was taken.

Ive been reading up on these a bunch and they seem to be a really great cost effective way to give your plants co2. I havnt used them myself but from what ive gathered the bags are a mushroom inside that produces co2, somewhat for smaller spaces but im sure any co2 boost above average (390ish, i had to google that higher than i thought) is going to be good. There is exhale co2 bags and also co2 boost buddy. Boost buddy is a little more expensive $38-50 but i wouldnt be suprised you get what you pay for). exhale bags say one bag is good for 4 to 6 plants while co2 buddy says its good for up to a 4x4 area. I just ordered 4 exhale bags for $110 with shipping (numerious different shops online have em one bag $22.50 to $36... im a cheap bastard haha). kilo810 how big is your tent and how many exhale bags do you use? Im planning on using 2 in my flower room, a 5x5 tent. My bed i sleep in every night is right next to my tent (2 feet away) so ive been kinda worried about high co2 levels making it unhealthy for me to sleep in there. Everything I have read on the internet says exhale bags are safe to use around humans and pets... should i be worried? Ive never used co2 bags or a full system before is there any tips anyone has out there? I have two intakes and all my vents on my tent are closed. I was thinkin of taping closed the horizontal flaps on the bottom to make the co2 levels get even higher ( flaps that let air in when there's negative pressure), bad idea or not?

My grow area is 6x6 and its all sealed except the carbon filter exhaust. I have one bag in each, these are my test subjects and I think that one is enough so far. 2 much co2 and then its just waste. You shouldn't be worried as long as your bed is off the ground. CO2 is pretty heavy so it stays low. 1 or 2 bags at night with the lights off wont produce that much co2. the lights and heat really activate the bag. If your using 2 bags in the 5x5 area. dont seal it. you will need some air flow the plants also use o2 for many things. But in all they are a good investment for any grow, considering they last 6 months, Id change them out in 4 just to be safe.

exhale is killing it right now i feel like my plants are twice as thick stem wise as my other room of the same strain with same environment...would definatily use them again for a smaller grow room

Are you talking about these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00546SAZC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=jbe04-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00546SAZC

How long do they last? Is that a single grow and how many plants is it good for?

Its good for 3 to 6 months, I change mine every 4 months just to be sure that i'm getting my monies worth and to make sure that the ppm in the air doesn't drop to much. yes the link is for the product that I bought, you can get them cheaper tho. ask you local hydro shop if they carry them or search around a bit more. they shouldn't cost more than 35 total.

$2 over $35 isn't a deal breaker and I don't have to leave my chair lol! My only concern is these don't seem to be stamped when they were made. Also would like to see some real evidence they are working.

co2 is only deadly in large quantities. The exhale bags won't create even a fraction of what is needed to kill you. I've had a 5lb tank empty during the night due to a faulty valve and I was fine. The co2 has to displace the the oxygen in the room and then it will cause whats referred to as choke damp. You breathe in oxygen, and exhale co2...hence the name of the product. Now if co2 is combusted it can go from co2(dioxide) to co(monoxide) and monoxide is a whole new ball game and it kills quick.

Has any1 tested the PPM in a room with these in there? I wonder what 2 of them in a 4x6 room can raise the PPM too with a 600w and 400w. I have two of them in there but have never tested it. I guess since no1 has done it yet I should buy a little tester kit for under 20 bucks and find out before I buy more. I vent my room quite a bit so I don't know if it is able to fill up enough to do much. I just had them given to me to try out by the local Hydro store.

I have been interested in these bags for years...but not until recently have got my hands on one...i set it up in my veg tent, and its been about a week...tested the c02 ppms...750ppm. Now keep in mind, my tent has no fresh air intake, only inside air, and i have a duct fan running 24/7 too keep it cool. these things are pretty awesome.

My hydro shop told me I could poke holes in the bag to assist in better distribution of these bags. So I did but kinda second guessing doing it.

Has as anyone done or heard of doing so? If not, Should I toss it?

We did a test with 1. put it up high behind a fan in an 8x10 sealed room. The co2 levels in the room went from 390 to 390.

Worthless.

i am gonna invest in trying these. my hydro shop sells em for 22 bucks, from some local company...she claims it raises yr co2 by 500 ppm. is that amount going to be enough for my plant show improvement? i have read quite a few good reviews, so that tells me something.
