Do green pads suck? Or is it me

[MedicalMike420]

I can not for the life of me get these things to keep the room over 1000 ppm for 5-10 minutes. It's so hard to get them to really work and it's a pain in the ass. I can't be in there all day spraying these things and shit. Wrapped them with a sponge and still didn't stay above 1000. I need to get to like 1300. I'm using co2 to help my plants deal with extra heat, please don't turn this into how I shouldn't be using co2.
Could it be my rooms not airtight? Or do these things suck? I have like 13 plants in a 300cubic ft room under 1900 watts. 300 which is an LED.

Will see work
1.Sponge with slit in it, pour citric acid and baking soda in the sponge, spray with water or vinegar. (Homemade green pad)
2. fermentation kit but that might take a while to get co2 production and it probably smells.
3. Jug with yeast and sugar water

Do any of these methods work? Or are they like half ass things that only work for 5 minutes. Am I using them wrong I am blowing the air off the ground too.
Do I need to buy a tank ?

are your ballasts in that room?
what is your air turnover (cfm)?
are you venting the space?

it would be easier to fix the problem than put band-aids on it. (temps)

The led has a built in power supply, I have a 600 watt, 1000 watt ballasts. I really want to try co2. Something I want to explore and I want to maximize my garden. Also taking care of the temps might fuck up my humidity. I'm at perfect co2 temps, like 85

 

[MedicalMike420]

No I'm not venting it, co2 won't work like that. The pads are only working for a few minutes

Yeast and sugar water do work but require maintenance as you go. I make a few new jugs every week. Tighten cap, shake and if it doesn't puff up it is time for that one to be renewed. Two cups of sugar in about three quarter of a gallon of water works well and lasts a week or two.
Four or five gallon jugs per 1000 watts of light in organic soil gets me consistent yields over a gram per watt. This is with over twenty different strains cycling through all the time, not much dialing in, everything gets almost the same treatment.
I switched over from a tank to be a little more discreet while I was in a multi tenant building and kept the same plan after I bought my own place.
Another benefit is the alcohol can be distilled and used for extractions.
82 - 85 degrees with added co2 is my target temperature, perfect.

Why do you ask if I have ballast inside

Why does it matter if my ballasts are sitting in the room

Do you have a ppm meter? If so does it consistently keep your room over 1200 ppm?

I have no co2 meter, never could justify the expense.
Fermintation jugs produced the same results as a a co2 tank and regulator in my garden.

Ballasts in the flowering room add to the heat problem, that is what trichrider is getting at I would guess.
