Default Hamster vs bottled CO2
Read some where back that someone was using a hamster or two (that liked to run on a wheel) to boost CO2 in a grow closet. How much CO2 would a hamster produce vs the levels of CO2 utilized with a regulated CO2 set up. Would need to find a hamster that liked to run during the day, or put him on a different light schedule to be more effective. Would it be necessary to channel a rodents' out put or just have it in the same room.

Was looking for a slightly more educated response from the moderators, knowing this is not an overly effective method. How much CO2 is produced through respiration of a small animal (actual amount, which I haven't been able to find elsewhere). People also use fermentation to boost in small room, I can't imagine that this is much more efficient. I have a back ground in science and would love to see the actual numbers. I may eventually have to commit to a regulated system to allow for slightly higher temps but am curious about the numbers produced by different methods.

i have some numbers that i crunched last week. there are 25.2 molesof co2 produced per 5lbs bag of sugar used in fermentation. that is 30.34x10^23 molecules per lbs. of sugar...that is ideal with all sugar converted

that being said, i have no idea how much co2 is in a co2 tank or prodiced by a hamster or iguana.

i use the fermentation method in my small 6 sq ft closet. i have 6 simply orange containers for this. i simply change the sugar about once a week or so and it works well for me (need to decant the water out because it has an alcohol content in it that will retard or stop the fermentation). had a .85g/watt yield under a 250w hps with 5 week veg on my last grow using this method

all right.....

if you are running the proper type of exhaust system your little hamster won't do diddly for you. put your hamster in the sealed room. shut off the ventilation. how long will it take your hamster to die? several days maybe? i don't think the tiny little lungs of a hamster are going to put out any significant amount of CO2. i could be wrong but common sense is leading me on this one.
