Co2 boosting

So a friend of mine that used to grow back in the day told me he used to run a airline from above his propane hot water heater to collect co2 from it? Anyone ever hear of this?

i'd be curious of what else is in the "exhaust" of the water heater. probably some shit you dont' want in the garden

buy a tank, a controller and be done with it. or a burner if you have a big room.

You have to be concerned about CO. Gas water heaters in a closet vent the gas outside, not in. If your grow room is connected to living space, I wouldn't do it. Get at least 1 CO detector in the main area/hall of your house either way.
