How beneficial are homeade Co2 mixtures?

Will I see a drastic improvement in the health of my plants when adding Co2 to my concealed indoor grow box? I have a filter connected to the cooltube that is then connected to a nice fan, my temps stay around 78-80 during the day.

Unless your house is super well sealed, and if you are circulating air well, there is plenty of co2 in the air.

I feel like when i see people using these mixtures thier plants are so lush and green.

i have started to use homemade co2 in my budbox, its cheap to do, so worth a try i reckon,

I'm convinced I see faster growth when the bottles are bubbling.


Tip: Run a tube from your cap, to the top of the canopy, so the C02 washes over the plants. Co2 is heavier than O2

what mixture do you guys use? and in what amounts?

from what i have read it is about 50/50 on if it home made systems work. i think i am going to try. i figure more is better with everything but nutes. i have also read that you can up the nutes with more CO2. Makes sense to me but i am uneducated on the subject. I would assume the more light and the more CO2 the more nutes they can eat. If anyone has any additional information on this there is atleast two of us that would appreciate it. If anyone knows of a good book on the subject i would also appreciate that info. I have looked for mid level growers book and cant seem to find a good one. I know the basics and have started experimenting with different methods and techniques. Looking to make the next step with out trying to get a PHD. Everything seems to guided towards the newbie or the expert. I am in between. This site is good but a lot of information spread out in between a bunch of uneducated shit. Thanks in advance.
