The paintball method

Does anyone here paintball? Bc if you do and do personal or closet grows a great way to supply co2 is to take a multitools needle nose to the pin in your CO2 tank. 20 oz tanks are the easiest to use bc they hold the most......just when you spray your plant be careful not to point the tank directly at your plant bc it is released at high pressure and might blow over or freeze and put your plant into shock. A slow controlled release is best and you can completely saturate your plant with CO2 every day.....a typical 20 Oz tank cost about $15. And $6 to fill. One tank will last your plant until harvest and will give your plant more CO2 then any other method out there.

Hmmm I am very curious about this, I have a shit load of Co2 tanks because I used to be very very into paintball but what im wondering is are you talking about putting a whole in the actually body of the tank or just making air leak out of the regulator? and does this method only work for a closet grow or is the point just to get some nitrogen on the plant.
 
Nice to see another paintball enthusiast. To start with im just talking about normal plane jane CO2 tanks. Not nitrogen or compressed air tanks. And not to put a hole in the side of it but to slowly press the regulator pin down. So if possible everyday you can just fill your grow area with CO2. It doesnt have to be a closet either but the smaller the area, the more the CO2 will stay in that space.

not if you have good air circulation you will need a continuous supply while the plants are up
