Default Homemade co2
I made this little homemade co2 rig with an upside-down water bottle filled with vinegar slwly dripping into a cup/bucket of baking soda. it only been goin for an hour and the vinegar is just pooling ontop of the baking soda. is co2 still being produced???? It just looks like a thin layer of white liquid ontop of the baking soda.

Heres the best home made co2 recipe I've come across:
Items Required:
* 10lb. white sugar
* 5 gallon clean bucket W/lid
* 4 1/2 gallons of water
* A piece of toast browned and hard
* A table spoon of dry active yeast (for baking bread)

First boil the water, (this will ensure clean water) remove from the heat and add the sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves. Let cool until water is room temperature (if you don't let it cool down it won't work).
After the sugar water has cooled, float the piece of toast on top of the water. Now, empty the tablespoon of yeast over the toast. After a few days, the yeast will take over the toast and start making bubbles (CO2) in the bucket. After a week, the amount of bubbling (CO2) will increase.
Keep the lid airtight on the bucket. CO2 travels up the dispersion tubing, and due to it being heavier than air, falls directly onto your plants. Timing your exhaust, is essential in maintaining an effective level of CO2.
Peace

Dude, do soemthing....if you want less co2 because thats too much sugar to use, cut the recipe in half. Of course part of the beauty of this recipe is the amount of co2 given off....and you complain about $1.99 worth of sugar?

Why not just, not add any additional co2 if the sugar is too expensive? Use what is reaily available in the atmosphere, as it is free.

Your plants will still grow just fine.
Peace
