What's in Iowa? Seriously.

haha, Typed that on my phone at work. I meant ikea.

Lol..... Many people are scared by open flame.....yet I know serious growers that run LP or gas lines into their grow room with a LARGE open flame and the possibility of leaks!! A small tea candle(self contained) in a large glass container posses miniscule threat(I do have a smoke detector and extinguisher in the room..ha).

PS...check the other forums for the exhale bags...some guy tested it and a candle(1 candle puts out double+ the ppm than the bag); either way you guys are correct that their is a risk involved.........happy growing.

Pic update!

First 5 pics are of the 3 Kings. First one is both of them under the led together. If you can't tell, the one on the right (we'll call #2) is still a little behind the other on the left (we'll call #1), about an inch in every direction. Aside from the leftover lower leaves that were burnt when I got them, everything is looking positive so far.

Safety first! I'm still laughing at Iowa (no offense to anyone from Iowa).

Haha, thought you might have meant that because Iowa really didn't make much sense there. Good old auto-correct...Let me know how those candles work for you, it's definitely interesting.

Crazy guys you know. I'm way too cautious to do anything like that so candles would be about as crazy as I'd get with open flames in my house, haha. Smart move with the smoke detector and extinguisher in there, great things to have in all grow rooms. Can you pm me that candle vs exhale bags link? I'm interested to see that. All the reviews I've read have been pretty much all good. I'm still set on trying them out for the hell of it.

CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) is produced with fire that emits a blue flame. Such as a propane stove, propane lantern, or burning natural gas.


"1. BURNING HYDROCARBON FUELS:

This has been the most common method of CO2 enrichment for many years. A number of commercial growers and greenhouses use it in their larger structures. The most common fuels are propane, butane, alcohol and natural gas. Any of these fuels that burn with a blue, white or colorless flame will produce carbon dioxide, which is beneficial. If a red, orange or yellow flame is present, carbon monoxide is being generated due to incomplete combustion. Carbon monoxide is deadly to both plants and people in any but the smallest quantities. Fuels containing sulfur or sulfur compounds should not be used, as they produce by-products which are harmful."

So.... you're lucky your plants are still alive.... now blow that candle out. (did you make a wish?)

just read this

I did a little more research on the matter.
From sweetsaur on RIU: my co2 meter will reach 1500 to 2500 above a standard candle. Gas or propane makes it go off the charts though.

http://enochthered.wordpress.com/200...es-and-carbon/

Both of those say yes it does produce carbon dixode

But be careful, I did go get some candles, putting it in a big candle holder see what happens.

EDIT:
Alrite, cant do the candle, wife said No. HAHA, guess no C02 for me.

Lol ...........well the wife disagrees....Probably for the best...My room rarely got over 80, so its a waste running it anyways..
More like a placebo effect for me...haha...

yes candles DO produce co2!!!.........but like everyone said be careful.....

@ puff, well I can't find the thread that I read the comparison at(weird/was a while ago)....Know for sure it was on "Icm@g", searched and can't find it....
Anyways while trying to find that tread, Those "exhale bags" do seem to get good reviews.....So just ignore/disregard my statement about the bags vs candle without any proof....

Your bitches look great BTW....

Great discussion guys, thanks for adding some extra value to my journal! From what I've read, candles emit both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, although I'm not sure which has greater presence. I think if you want to light up a few candles for a couple of hours a day while you're in the grow room then it couldn't really do any harm.

Thanks for the compliment on the ladies! You know how females always like to be told how good they look, haha. I sweet talk my plants by the way, anyone else do this?
