Anyone considered adding co2 tablets to their water supply? It supposed to work check these out.

New! 100 Co2 Tablets: Basement Lighting Hydroponics and Plant Grow Lights

Co2 can be absorbed through the roots just as efficiently as the leaves. Check this:

These slow release oxygen tablets may be of interest also, 25 for £1.10

Hope this is of interest, let me know if it is. CHeers.

By no means am I an expert on this, but from reading the article on CO2 root absorption it states that the plant adapted to co2 water by growing smaller leaves, and transpiring less water.... the mass was in the roots rather than the leaves. I believe the result people are attempting to achieve is a boost in yield, so introducing co2 through the air would be or sounds more ideal for the result we are looking for.

You rightly say that people are trying to boost yield thunderlips, however it is important to remember that the 'yield' that we are trying to achieve is not leaf mass, but bud mass.

'Water demand varies inversely with CO2 concentration in soil. The more CO2 in the soil, the less water will be used. And, green plants not only respond to carbon dioxide taken in through their root systems, but were increasingly accepting of it.'

'In the work we saw an astounding 2866% greater weight gain in the CO2 watered plant over the distilled water plant and reduced transpiration up to 50% on some days.'

'CO2 enhancement is in the air of the greenhouse. Water is in open contact with the roots in open containers subject to evaporation making water tracking irrelevant. We conclude that our plant’s water use reduction was due to CO2 root absorption causing the stomata to close when the plant received enough CO2 through the roots. This is consistent with the literature and our hypothesis that the primary function of the stomata is to exchange water vapor for carbon dioxide and not to cool the plant as has been thought and taught.'

It seems to me that a cannabis plant watered with the CO2 tablets mentioned above would have fewer, narrower leaves than usual and because of this light penetration would be improved, giving a better yielding plant.
I am not an expert but I have grown succesfully on a couple of occasions and I cant wait to try these out.
Let me know if you have.
Hope this helps.

see thats where the test went wrong, they didnt use a plant that buds. I am assuming the less leaf mass would result in less bud mass... Its a good idea no doubt, I have even looked into a CO2 reactor in the past to add into my res. Im just not 100% positive on the result for the plants we grow.
I think if the end result was huge nugs with less leaf, its def. the way to go.

im going out to try this this co2 in a bottle.
ive got a 1 gallon apple juice jug that should work.

half way with water 1 1/2 cup of sugar, 2tbls of yeast.
shake vigorously. check for bubble . then poke hole in top for co2 to escape. then repeat when bubbles stop.

Thats what i did, I c u live in tx, DONT let any overflow or get out, It attracts them damn fire ants, WE got em bad here in ar.

any grocery store....idk that i have every seen expensive yeast..

Use a dripper and a cup with baking soda,, Then drip vinager into the cup. The area will fill up with CO2

any got an idea on how to get around the fire ant thing????

If you put a piece of dry ice into a container of some sort, poke a hole in it, and let the fog (CO2) fall onto the leaves, that'd be perfect.

It wouldn't attract any ants, and, especially if it's an indoor grow, you can use the cold air to cool the area.

I have an outdoor grow going on, so I don't really know how I'd do this, and dry ice sublimates pretty rapidly (5-10lbs in 24hrs, so faster than regular ice melts), so I wouldn't recommend getting too much of it at a time.

But it's a cheap burst of pure, cool CO2!

I need to get some brewer's yeast and make one of these long-lasting, slow-release CO2 jugs.
