Would this set up release the needed CO2 in the amounts helpful for the plant (too much is lethal to just about everything, but will kill Spider Mites at that level,) and within the 500-1000ppm optimum for extra bud production? It seems a bit small, but let me know how it's working!

Ill be 100% honest, I used the method with champagne yeast and a 5 carbon sugar(Corn Syrup) in a 5 gallon bucket just as the original post suggested with a 20 - 25% solution of syrup to water... Allthough the amount of CO2 I produced is unknown I did make some nasty wine smelling water. I use a CO2 tank, and i understand that this is a cheap way to make your co2, but in all honesty I dont see it as being practical for larger grow ops, at the cost of the syrup $15 per gallon and 90 cents per champagne yeast packet, the device only make CO2 for a little over 2 weeks before becoming useless... By the time my crop would finish I would have spent enough money to purchase a CO2 tank and not have to worry about the CO2 bucket.

Some people were asking in previous posts, When do you add CO2?

I only use it for flower, allthough im sure some sneaks its way into the veg room, but I use CO2 to up my yield in flower, not my veg. You can take your plant from producing 1 - 2 ounces and increase it by up to 1 1/2 times.
Ive heard some people getting up to 4OZ from a single plant using co2.... but I have yet to accomplish that.

karo corn syrup is what a 5 carbon glucose is, the 6 corbon originally posted in the thread isnt available in the store. But the clear corn syrup is better than just granulated sugar.

Well Im new here But not new to the grow scene . If you want to use this kind a set up better to just make beer or wine its the fermentation of the sugars that produce the co2. and small bottles just wont produce much co2. for small grows a better option would be a baking soda acid generator all that is involed is dripping an acid Ie vinagar into a container of baking soda the chemical reation is a foam releasing co2 this is the reaction of the baking soda being baseing out the acid. But for a grow larger than a cab it would be cheaper to just use a co2 injector system.
