carbinated water

I think I heard somewhere that a small spray of carbinated water would help your plants. Does this sound right? If so, would I do this during the vegitation phase or flowing or both?

I'm guessing something like talking rain would work because it has no sodium or anything, just plain carbinated water.

I just got done with a week long experiment using carbonated water (no sodium). There are many nay sayers that say to only spray it on your leaves. Some say its too acidic to use.

I used it for a week on one plant and the results we pleasing. The one plant grew more, bigger leaves, faster. It also fluffed up my soil a bit which let more oxygen get to the roots. I based this experiment on a show i saw on the history channel. Some forest rangers installed pipes at the forest floor, and pumped CO2 into the forest. The trees grew faster and bigger, but only for a short period of time. They became accustomed to the extra CO2 and resumed normal growth rate dispite the CO2 supplementation.

If you do it, do it for only one week at a time so the plant doesnt think its always going to get the extra gas and slow down growth.

so why not take a 2ltr bottle fell it 1/4 the way with carb drink (beer, soda, carb water,...) fix a balloon to the top of the bottle and shake it well - to make the co2 release up into the balloon - then take the balloon and open it up in your sealed room or fix it so that it releases slowly over time
