carbonated water is an excellent source of C02 for your plants. use San Pellegrino and mist all of your plants about once a week.

Ok but if your "cheap ass P@ssw0rd" would sams club sodium free club soda be ok??? It's only listed ingredient is carbonated water.

Don't you guys think that the C02 will come OUT of solution as it's being applied and then be given up to the atmosphere? Without metering how do you know this does anything at all?

Seriously, without metrics experimentation is mostly useless. Or at least, without metrics your experimentation is far from scientific and therefore isn't really solid as a foundation for any sort of assumptions.

That being said, when you pour the carbonated water into the spray bottle it will release a lot of the carbonation. When you force the solution through the spray nozzle and atomize the solution, wouldn't all the carbon be released? I am sure /some/ would still be in there, but would it be in the form of CO2? I doubt it.

Still, it's possible that the release of the carbonation into the room would augment the CO2 levels. In which case, you might as well just set a glass full of soda water behind your fan and hope that it adds CO2 to the ambient atmosphere as it naturally releases its carbons more slowly.

Not something I'm rushing out to try though. I'm more likely to pick up some dry ice before I start leaving soda water lying around my grow.

im going to try it this grow.. one of the first movies i watched said to do it (anyone else see the movie on the net with the crazy guy w/ his face painted green, he tells you how to grow in your basement) anyway... i check on em all the time anyway and spray with water, might as well use soda water? im sure if you spray it on the leaf it will fizz... and thats exactly what you want right? i unno, i guess i will find out...

Be warned, some mineral waters have sugars added or naturally occurring in them...not enough for your tongue to notice, but enough for any wandering pests to be drawn to your plants. I tried it once, got caterpillars in my bud. Honestly, if you are growing in a room, a co2 generator made from a coke bottle and some yeast works much better, IMHO.

I'd love to see a how-to on that coke bottle + yeast co2 gen.

Hey! You asked for that thread and linkage, and you haven't posted there yet. Look to freshwater planted tanks for TONS of how-to's on soda bottle CO2 generators.

The thread's down in Toke N Talk.

oh snap! thanks! Imma jump in the shower for a sec, but I'll be happy to aqua chat in a few!
