weedyoo.... what you made is what i explained... its called a CO2 generator.... but what i don't understand is why you're using a 5 gallon bucket when the CO2 generator says to use a 2 liter soda bottle.... and i'm not sure if you know why you need hose and a fish tank pump and the rock that makes bubbles?... its because a C02 generator is really for people who have plant aquariums... people that have fish and grow their plants under water.... since the plants are underwater they need a way to get CO2 to the plants.... so basically what i'm saying is your system might need tweaking.... because with 2 cups of water, 2 cups of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of yeast in a 2 Liter soda bottle can give me 2 weeks of CO2... why are you only getting a week with a 5 pound bag of sugar, bucket and all that other stuff? oh yeah... its a bad idea to use glue for certain plastics because of a chemical they use that really won't let the glue get a good grip... so if a CO2 buildup occurs.. it will pop your hoses out.... truthfully i have a grow cab.. which makes it suitable for using a soda bottle... so i guess it depends on the size of your area

its really just yeast eating sugar and pooping out cos

5 gal bucket this is for my whole bud room not just one plant. this mix

5lb sugar
half bucket water
3 tsp yeast

the fish pump is for sturing up the water as you may know if you shake your bottle you get more co2. that is what the bubbles do

the hoses cant not pop the co2 simply gets pushed up and out the hoses. and down on to your plant.

when the CO2 generator says to use a 2 liter soda bottle... i dont know where it says i need to make it this way.
every one makes theirs a little diffrent i learned how to make this on riu

i think what you have works.... since you're doing a room... because a 2 liter bottle is good for a plant aquarium.... but truthfully, in a plant aquarium you're trying to get the co2 to dissolve into the water and you end up losing the rest.... so i think it would work differently in a room... since the plants aren't underwater and are able to get the co2 out of the air...... this is interesting.... i know the bottle works for me cuz i have a box...but it seems a bucket would work for a room, since its a larger area..... learn something new.... so you have to do it weekly huh? i read one time that the yeast doesn't dissappear, just the sugar... and the mixture can be reactivated when you add the sugar again... is that how you do it? or you just make a whole new batch

can i use a 2 litre bottle and just put a bubbler in the top for an air lock (bubbler is whats on your mans big jar) would this be ok the co2 would come through when the pressure good enough

if you use a 2 litre bottle... you won\'t need a bubbler... pressure is automatically building up the second you mix the yeast, water and sugar.... all you need to do is drill a tiny hole in the top so the CO2 can release slowly.... and whenever you need a boost...just shake it up... but what is your area size? because i do this for a grow cab...

also...the bubbler originally is for growing plants underwater in an aquarium...the bubbler releases the bubbles into the water...

the soda bottle and the mixture is good for 2 weeks.... the first time, i put a big hole in the top because i was scared if i made the hole to small, the CO2 would build up to much pressure and pop the top.... but in reality... it just needed a tiny screw hole

did you know just speaking and breathing around your plants gives them CO2? just wanted to let yall know

no the bubbler something to do with wine making but i think with an air lock it will keep it warmer helping the thing do its job il try both and see what happens thanks

cool...let me know how it works out for you

the whole purpose of the bubbler is really just for when you want to ferment for alcohol it lets all the co2 out so theres no explosion and its a good indicator of when you're mash or whatever u want to call it stops fermenting

When making this contraption for the co2 w/ yeast an sugar,,, what is the smaller bottle for,,the halved water bottle that the tube goes to the bottom of from the bigger 2 liter,,what is the purpose
