I brew all the time, and always to my 200gal limit (USA). I easily hit between 500 and 1000 lbs of Co2. The fruit trees in my yard, vines, bee hives, all make this a very affordable hobby. Generally people beg to buy wines and beers at ridiculous high prices all the time, but alas you can't sell homebrew.

You run a blowoff tube from your carboys to a water/starsan filled container inside the tent. Brews hate light...so putting them inside a tent isn't a good idea.

Further reading below: expect 1-4 lbs of Co2 for each 5 gallon batch (of beer) depending on attenuation and original specific gravity.

Yeast are an awfully efficient method of creating CO2

Why waste these 280lbs of potential CO2 because a 2 litre bottle was insufficient? Total cost for the CO2/ingredients I didn't grow was around $80, or $3.50 a lb/CO2 and it also produces over 800 bottles of beer. It can be mocked , but it would be hard to beat. Once the beers done you can make whatever you want from the trub and yeast or just feed the yeast to your plant's.

Bonjour
I didn't mock you..i can't, not enough vocabulary...
And my oncle make his own wine which is better than a lot of commercial ones, and I'm pretty sure it is the same with your beer...
It was just an attempt to be funny in a foreign language, but i assume that french humor is not the best in the world (that's why there's only U.S series on french tv...) nuff' said
And what about a big diesel engine in the growroom...it release a lots of co2, no? Ok ok nuff'joke

It's okay, one of my best friends was tragically born French, but he joined the legion so we don't give him that hard of a time. :peace:

Thanks for the help you gave me to build 4 of these 3590 3500k 36V CD @1400mA.You were an inspiration as well as supra, alesh, salmonetin, sds, positivity and a few else!!!
I am very happy with my light and it was easier to do than i expected (mostly cause i only duplicate something already thinked and done
next time i come in California to visit family i will bring you champagne...
Have a great day!

My new optic panel hits 2101 Umols at 422watts from the wall and about 34 PAR watt, lumens don't count but 113,518 is killing it at 18"

You have some good experience with lens so wanted to check with you how is it going.
Also I was curious if there was any signs of VOC on LES like discoloration or anything due to enclosed lens or VOC's from the rubber gasket holding the lens.
Thanks

Organic CO2 generators work very well..................................

Hi salmontin,

What way is that, do you have a link to the post ?

Don't get me wrong : I'm not denying high CO2 concentrations have a (big) positive effect. Faster development, and like you said thicker leaf tissues, stalks all are very real.

But yeast and sugar, unless maybe if you start an actual brewery, doesn't produce enough to be of any interest ..

I've been hearing those urban legends from noobs since the mid 90's, with experienced people telling them not to bother.
If it actually worked, you can't expect it to still be the best kept secret 25 years later. It would be the most spread tip, and no-one would use those expensive CO2 systems .

Trust me, it's not worth it.

Want high CO2 ppm => Burner, bottles and dry ice will workin sufficient quantity.

I also have an 'inexpert POV' on this subject as I have not used CO2 myself. But I would be very surprised to be somehow proved wrong on this one ;)
It is pretty easy to work out how much yeast and sugar has to ferment in order to reach a certain ppm for a giver room.

@REALSTYLES so what about your crop??
How many gpw did you get with your "underpowered"cobs?
Last pics shown us that you overfeed a bit (lots...!)...did you go heavy on nutes or the plants were sensible...or you feed her normaly and it is because of the cob?
Have a great day ★

I hit 1.04 gpw because of the heat it was 100F where I live and I'm so glad it's cooling down now the next run will be better because it's 79F now.
