How many plants were you harvesting? If you added 4oz to a 1lb harvest, that would be pretty good. If you added 4oz to a 10lb harvest . . . that's not as dramatic. You said 7x8 so you could be harvesting 50+ trees. That sounds like an 8lb harvest so an extra 4oz may not be worth the hassle. The money equation certainly works out well, but not that great percentage wise (assuming you had a monster harvest anyway).
Adding CO2 added 4oz to my normal 12oz. harvest. So right now I harvest a pound every three weeks.

I run a 3 week perpetual harvest. Want to read how to do it?
Harvest a pound every three weeks!

Or you can wait for the article in the May issue of High Times....

I have 20KG bottle

I put my bottle on the scale and see how much g or kg have release to the air. How can i calculate how much do i need for Grow room area: 700 cubic feet (in grams or pounds ...)

Grow room area: 700 cubic feet
Amount of CO2 required: 0.84 cubic feet <- How much is this in grams ?

All right i solve this problem:

Grow room area: 700 cubic feet
Amount of CO2 required: 0.84 cubic feet = 23.7861 L = 47g(15°C)


1,847Kg (co2) (15°C) = 0,9344m³ (934.4L)
1,977Kg (co2) (0°C) = 1m³ (1000L)

has anybody ever tried enriching the roots with oxygen, the way we use co2 for the air?

This thread is very helpful but I have a question.
Why put so much effort and money into this?

I think it would be cheaper to get the $180 indoor air meter and dial in a custom made Co2 maker.

Simply take a bucket of water with baking soda in it and attach a distilled vinegar bottle like a hospital IV would use.

I think I could make a generator for roughly $20 or less. The vinegar and backing soda cost is negligible because at the end of the day it's cheaper than a tank, regulator, timer, and refills. So for $200 you make a generator for CO2 and have a meter that will allow you to fine tune your drip rate.

Sure it's more work you'd have to do, replace the water and vinegar every 2 to 3 days, but compared to the cost of buying CO2 from someone I'd rather take the 3 - 5 minutes of work. Not to mention eventually someone is going to wonder why the your buying 60 - 80 lbs of CO2 every 3 - 4 weeks.
