Co2 Good ol' sugar water and yeast

So does anyone have any methods of producing CO2 for my grow room besides buying all the expensive shit? At least until I get some more $$$

Wow! a pound of sugar a single packet of yeast? I used yeast method when i had a live aquarium with live plants. But that requires alot less than in air. i used a 2 liter bottle with 3/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp of yeast. maybe you could do the math to mix multiple batches at once? but i diffused it in the tank with an airstone. had to stir the bottle once a day and change out every 5 days. maybe with a co2 tank along with the yeast method could work but i dont think it would be enough for a grow over 4' x 4' without a ten gallon drum..

Cool, so do you have any other ways of producing CO2 out of somewhat "household" items?
If you can stand the smell vinegar and baking soda. I don't know right off hand but there are tons of things that can be mixed to produce co2. Just like vinegar and baking soda there is a possibility of bad effects on your plants...like changing the smell or possible a chemical vapor effect of some sort. those expensive co2 boost buckets are just a few chemicals that produce co2 when mixed and/or exposed to oxygen. im not sure exactly which or both ive never actually used one.
