I’ve gotten through one grown successfully pretty sure I mentioned this to you before just putting out my feelers and gaining knowledge of what to do and how to make myself better
As I just said to someone else, get multiple runs with zero issues to harvest and then worry about maximizing your yield/harvest or whatever else you want.

That’s what I’ve been saying to myself one run almost no problems then I couldn’t even keep seedlings alive come to find out it was my “super”soil I made ...more like super acidic soil lil guys stood no chance tap root didn’t even try to go down into the soil ..we live and we learn thanks for the solid brother !

Using exhale in sealed tent, no vent till 1hr before to 1 hr after lights out, vent humidity. Fan on roof med speed and homebrew co2 15gal. Outside tent piped in through airhose. 2ks of sugar 3 packs yeast and big squirt of ketsup. Dont open tent for at least 1 hr after lights on, waste built up co2 if you do, defeats purpose. Bottled only work 3-5 days for 40 dollars the natttural one. This lasts 5 to 7 days, waterbottle filter tells you when dead. I believe it helps. The light they can take is suprising with added co2. Ive tried the bottles you add water too, 1ltr. Dont waste money, have 365 bag, not sure as homebrew runs tent not bag. Back up for homebrew change.

Just run a hose to the tent and when you exhale do it into the hose. More Co2 than those bags and it's free. Or eat some beans and fart into the grow area. It's not a lot at 9% CO2 but it's something. The nitrogen and hydrogen won't be used by the plant since it can't take it in from the air but it won't hurt anything.

A typical fart is composed of about 59 percent nitrogen, 21 percent hydrogen, 9 percent carbon dioxide, 7 percent methane and 4 percent oxygen. Only about one percent of a fart contains hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans, which contain sulfur, and the sulfur is what makes farts stink.

Those tiny tea candles probably put out more co2 than those bags.

More importantly why do you think you need more co2. Co2 isn’t a magic thing. You need everything dialed in perfect first to get a noticeable benefit/cost effectiveness. You then have to have to increase light and heat while balancing high EC with the elevated co2 lvls.

you would be better served trying to really make your grows perfect before taking on that headache.

So my living and bedroom C02 readings are at the 1000+ mark, and my understanding is anything above 500ppm is bonus for the ladies... thinking I'm good in here. or should I shoot for 1500ppm in my grow tent? Seems like 1000ppm indoors is the norm .. what's your indoor ppm readings?

I believe the bags work- just today I decided to open 2 of them- emptying them- adding clean damp coco and putting some of the mycelium back on top. I took a small trash pale with the 2 large chunks of mycelium waste back into the room intentionally under my CO2 meter. In under a minute the reading went up 80 points. It has that earthy mushroom smell. So they are positively giving off CO2 constantly as advertised.
My room is usually around 700 with 3 bags in a 12x 14 room
I will add another for flowering and expect levels around 800. Anything over 400 is a bonus- over 1100 likely not necessary.
I see no reason it won’t keep growing on new coco and should be able to be used perpetually by adding new medium every 6 months or so.

I haven’t opened my flower room door in almost 10 months. Here’s the last weeks co2 data
