Misting with carbonated/mineral water

I've heard this works well as a source of Co2, anyone ever tried it?

if we're talking club soda, then there will likely be toxic levels of sodium and sulfur. just get you an oscillating fan yo.

I'm glad you started this thread (saved me having to

) ... I've heard it's good to also water the plants with mineral water too as it gives direct C02 to the leaves (edit: not leaves.. I mean roots). The problem is finding one that doesn't have the salts and other shit added (like Club Soda).

True dat.

Also is it possible for the contra to be harmed at all from the magnification through the water droplets?

Do not put carbonated water into soil.

That's what I was wondering, because misting the plants in the dark would make no sense because as the plants use c02 during the light and not dark time, so you can't mist at night.

Why not?

I've seen it recommended in two marijuana growing books (one of them is the growers bible).

i have been using "Sams club sodium free club soda", I don't know if this is the right stuff but it hasn't seemed to hurt the little ladies under the lights. However they are only under cfl's for now. can't say i would try it under the hps.

because roots need O2 not CO2. If you drench the soil with carbonated water, you're going to suffocate the plant.

maybe you can scan the page for us, or post up a quote on that?

You're right, I agree with you, they do want oxygen ... however, the last place I read it while I was in the book store in The Growers Bible. I'll go back and check it out, unless someone else here has a print copy they could check.
