Well, i was wondering since im growing out of my house in my closet i could sleep in my grow room at night. As for the light i could wear one of those light stopping eye things.

Any idea how much that would rise the co2 levels?

Can plants get sick from humans? lol im pretty sure that is a stupid question, but i don't know the answer for sure, so i must ask....

I'm assuming that your plants are growing in a separate bedroom? Perhaps a basement room? More than likely, the levels of CO2 wouldn't raise enough to make a difference. For one, you'd have to be sleeping a decent distance above the canopy for your exhaled CO2 to reach all of your plants. And second, I don't know for sure about the plants getting sick from humans. I can only assume that some bacterial infections could spread, though I doubt any viral infections would spread, given the fact that viruses attack certain types of cells that plants and people don't share. Who knows, could be the same for bacteria.

But hey, if you wanna give it a go, I say do it. No one ever knows what is going to happen until it is tested. The only thing that would suck is sleeping with the grow lights on...

Not unless you want to sleep when the lights are on cause that when the plants use the Co2 to their benefit...:weed:

why not just get an ipod or something and sing to the plants afew hours a day (after you smoke up of course) sleeping in there would help as long as you dont vent the grow room but sleeping while all that buzzing is going on is gonna suck

I found your question interesting so I gave it a thought.Basically, CO2 production of the budy is dependant on body mass and the heat ourbodyproduce(like every machine).
It is like burning 2 to 3 candle in your grow room.
So ~100W seems to be a good ballpark figure for a human body's power output. Funny that a 100W light bulb is on par with the human body!100 watt body is like 2 to 3 candle co2 production.

It will improve your crop by lets say 25 percent providing that you sleep in the same space they breath and It should be during Light cycle.I cant imagine sleeping in my grow room with all the noise and fans and humidity and MH and HPS or even my CFLs but if you can tackle it ,its worth a try. In my experience I kept my friends very old Italian grey hound dog for 2 weeks and he used to go and sleep inside the grow closet That was the warmest part of my house at that time . I noticed a boom in that 2 weeks period abd when his owner returned the grow got back to normal rate.

Correct, I DID read that. However, I'm assuming the closet is connected to a room of some sort, since this is generally the accepted behavior of closets. If this happens to be a bedroom closet, I'm assuming he's asking if it is alright to sleep in the bedroom with the closet door open. Which brings the point back to my small paragraph earlier.

youre going to get a sunburn, cancer for being next to a ballast for extended periods of time, and probably roll over and kill a plant in the middle of your sleep.

this idea is not good

lol you sound like my crazy brother. Always wanting to help his plants but coming up with the nuttiest ideas. My 2 cents? Dont do it for all the valid reasons already made.

I'd have to agree with sherriberry on this one, in that it's probably not a good idea. Too much potential for problems, I think. But I don't think it was a stupid question. Like Satica stated, we give off CO2 constantly, and 100W body heat output doesn't sound too far off, since I've always heard we put out like 150W just sitting on the couch watching TV.

One bad dream, though, and POOF! half your garden might get demolished. Though, thinking about it, it'd be one hell of a story.

why not just buy big balloons
and blow them up with your breath then tape them to the ceiling of the closet
puncture a small hole in the neck of the balloon(s) to allow air to slowly escape

wow not a bad better idea
*edit* tape over 100 smaller balloons to the ceilings then you lay on your bed and smoke a joint then with your BB gun shoot out a few of them and you should be fine

You would be sleeping under tanning bed dude why do that. Instead of doing all this why not buy a bigger light. It amazes me what tricks people do then come asking for help when the plant turns black because you heard that ink from a pen in your soil helps your roots block light. Anyway just water the plants when needed and if you want better yields get a bigger light and stop sleeping in a closet while using a 20w cfl. You didnt mention what type of light so i am kidding but seriously, there may be some other suggestions people can make. Why not just go buy some white mice or rabbits and let them multiply in the cages. In no time you will have both co2 and odor control as all you will smell is rabbit shit.
