Very interesting! But not possible at $100 per grow. I grow for myself and several medicinal users and nobody pays for the best I can grow. So I just go to the cabinet and exhale as much as possible

They claim a proprietary blend of fungi and compost and other stuff... I'd like to see the ingredient list. Wonder if they have a patent we could look at.
As for DIY co2 buckets there's always the old yeast/sugar/water mix. One secret for that is to use high-potency champagne yeast instead of regular bakers' yeast.

Too costly for more than a couple of plants......

I have been using Yeast CO2 for years and works great. Am doing a thread on it soon to kind of help dispell a lot of the negative sentiment it doesn't work. The thread will include daily or more often ppm readings using a CAP 3. I agree about the bullshit supplements unicorn but CO2 is not just another one of those silly supplements. Read the university studies.... it definately increase end yield but don't really want to debate it. Enough reputable studies that it is accepted science and commerial food producers spend millions on it a year. Its fact not just another one of those magic elixers.
Peace

i do agree it increases yields people should tweak there areas first...lots of people use c02 and dont get buds half the size of some of mine..it disappoints me really..i do agree it works logic is on your side..im just saying a lot of growers could achieve the same results not using it by dialing in there space...then after dialing in if they used it they would achieve 2 gpw..but sadly most dont achieve half that using it

I went to the local hydro shop that was a dealer. They TALKED ME OUT OF IT. Like he said. CO2 "in this form" is a waste of money, unless you are perfect in every other way.
They ripped one open and it was little white mushrooms. At least what he told me.
Think about it. $625(USD) a year for CO2.

Ok so most of you didn't even spend 5 mins of your time actually looking at the science used here for this method of co2 production.. and just poked at co2 in general.. I was just trying to bring some attention to this particular method of co2 production compared to regular co2 generators.....

I agree w/ bringing attention to this technique. I love that it has potential to be self renewable. I'm not a CO2 user yet, but will be soon and eventually. I just hate the idea of having to involve my hobby w/ the real world (i.e. beverage companies etcetera) seeing as how the real world is not accepting of my hobby. But yes, CO2 supplementation is an exact science and is effective. Your plants take the carbon from CO2 and the hydrogen from water to make carbohydrates, or basically the energy used to carry out its daily functions. Thats why its helpful to add molasses to your feeding because you're directly adding already manufactured carbohydrates to your plant that it doesn't have to go to the trouble to make. Just use caution, you don't want to take away your plants reasons to photosynthesize.

Is it even a debate that C02 enhances/accelerates plant development in all growth stages????

Hello Everyone.........
Hello Everyone.........
Gertrude--Think it was an excellent topic to bring up. Think it was helpful too. I wish we could find the ingredients so we could go about making it ourselves. There has to be a genius out there that could dissect one for us.
Alphacat-- Just got the new monitor today. I am going to mess with it a bit while I finish off my BlueBerry ladies and then start with a fresh batch. I am moving my air pumps and reservoir out of the room with the CO2 due to another thread we are having on here about the reaction with the reservoir and pH.
Here is a copy of the thread url would like to have any of your imput into it...... http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=46382&goto=newpost
Unicorn--I agree with you. Lots of people that use CO2 never really get the benefit because one of the other variables are not maxed and hold them back. Maximizing you grow should be done first. (lights, nutes, technique, etc)

co2 if you have a steady high PPM and higher temps not only increases yield but cuts down on flowering time in my experience.Everything else has to be at least adequete though for enrichment to be of any value,50 watts sq/ft is a must along with correct temps humidity etc.Its not worth it unless all your ducks are in a row,if they are its more than worth the expense

Hello everyone.......
I too think CO2 accelerates the maturation process. I did a few other tweaking but had some AK-47 that I was getting in at 40 days flower. I know the CO2 was making a big difference.

Theres no question man,I recently got a new cd-6 and cap-3PPM and I see a big difference in finishing time,not so much in yield yet

I grow in soil,it doesnt matter whether soil or hydro you'll benefit from co2

no shit ballastman..you will benifit more if you learn to grow without it first
