Co2 from tonic water ?

What's everyone's theory on Co2 from carbonated tonic water and what is the procedure for applying it to the plants?

i used tonic water on my plants - did not do them any harm as far as i could tell - then again it was my first grow so what the fuck do i know..

just thought i leave a post so i could suggest champagne - nice and bubbly - ur plants will love it



however - i have heard that oxygen stimulates roots - in which way i do not know

use table water (fizzy water) you can get in tesco for like 8p a (2l) bottle or something ridiculous,
dunno bout watering them wit it though.

you should apply it by misting the plants. i did some research on this a little while back. get a mister from any garden centre and spray the leaves with it. make sure not to spray too much so there's drops of water on your leaves as this causes burns.

i have done it in the veg especiall for smaller clones but not tonic cus tat can have toxins go to the water isle in a store arrowhead makes a sparkiling non flavor water thats wat u want if u use it i found it didnt make a differnce

Yes, misting small amounts of sodium free carbonated water on your plant's fan leaves is a great poor man's method for boosting co2. I've done it with all my grows and find it much better, cheaper and easier than sugar/yeast method. I mist once a day during flowering just before my lights are scheduled to go off.
