I would assume that the proper co2 generators help a lot more than that though but my yeast and sugar costs 10 cents not 1700 dollars,for 1700 dollars i would want to see buds that were twice as big at least

Thats what Im talking about!!!! I have an 8 gallon water tank that hooks on the back of my 4 wheeler. I made up a 2 gallon solution of sugar/yeast and water and have a vent coming off the tank. The way I see it, its better than not having it at all.

I just put the bottles right in the middle of the plants with a fan blowing on it,co2 generators are really for bigger grows i think

$1700 would be crazy. Figure using a 20 lb tank type setup.I got my used c02 bottle for $100 for 3 of them (this was a great deal figure $100 each used),I got a used electronic solednoid for $65 (good deal new aboyt $145) and a timer that goes minute to minute I got mine for $9 (usually $2

then some hose for $10.Co2 is about $24 a tank here which is high. A co2 generator can be bought used for $200 then all you need are propane tanks about $20 a tank. The ppm meter is the most exspensive thing but you can wing it using the math formula and a flow meter

its not as important as they put it, "NEED". People do accomplish a good grow without it. The minimum co2 ppm should be is 200 ppm, but the air we breath is already 350-450ppm, but if you live in the same building as the plants then it can be higher like 500, so the plant is getting everything it already "need".

That is what I was thinking myself. I did the fermentation just for a little extra bonus, but she has been thriving even before I did that. Sometimes I think I let my mind get out of control and think that I need more than I really do. I should follow the KISS motto (Keep It Simple Stupid.) lol.
