I have a plnt in a cupboard, no circulation, and non of these foancy CO2 emitters.

Is ther a way two mix two things around the house to create more CO2 for the plant?

Bicarbinate of soda + lemonade/water?

There has to be some clever people out there that know what I'm asking for

Thanks

I think you're easier solution is to get more circulation and you probably already have more than you think. Do you have a fan in there? Is it necessary to kep it closed all the time? Can you create some openings? How do you control heat if no to all the above?

What i do is i buy yeast, and i have these wine making bottle caps that screw on regular pop bottles. i just mix some juice in there with sugar, and add the yeast. then set it in my cupboard. it realeases co2 as it makes wine! so i got a two for 1 deal. probably what you could do is just fill a pop bottle with juice and sugar, and add wine making yeast (which isn't very expensive at a grocery store) and just leave the bottle cap unscrewed. try to look for fast acting yeast though.

thanks to both of you.

I do open up the cupbard a blast a fan in there a few hours a day. but this is my only sort of circulation. I do take her out to the window on an extra nice day too to try and get the same resolve.

If I kept on doing what I do would it deafeat the point of trying to add some co2 into the cupboard? Should I set it up and replace it each day after a fan blasting?

thanks again

all i know is that yeast is a living organism, it eats fruit and sugar, and makes ethonal (drinking alcohol) and co2 as a waste, basically like its pooping the stuff lol.

i think though the co2 is more for flowering, i have never tried using it for vegging. apparently the buds like it though. im sure it would make them fatter if you had co2 in there while there was no circulation then if you didnt.

Fair enough, I'll give it a go.

I did a search and RollItUp reccomends bicarb of soda & vinegar. If I had tools, I would work out which is best. I guess I will try the different approaches and see what happens haha

thanks
