Whats up bro..!? Na, I hadn't never herd of that b4 myself, who knows... But, if your looking 4 a "cheap" way 2 provide C02 to your girls my man, then get you a few packs of "plain
old yeast" at any grocery store & then get you a 2 littler pop bottle, add your yeast to the bottle, then add approximately a cup of sugar, add HOT water to that mixture,
then pop the cap on it, shake it up a bit, and poke a few holes in the lid or just simply remove the lid in your grow room!! Works like a charm!!...

I would not leave an unattended flame anywhere - period.
That's just begging for a fire.

Just imagine a dying leaf falling off your plant and right onto the candle flame. Poof, grow gone, firemen at your house and the fire marshall investigating how the fire started...

Bad idea, stick to yeast if you need cheap co2

If you want a cheap reliable source of extra co2 for your grow room, just sit in it for a while.

As mentioned, candle or any other live flame is just asking for trouble.

A candle would produce such little C02 it really would not amount to anything. If you happened to have a cooler room, a kerosene convection heater would actually help a good bit.

c02 Generator would be the most expensive way? A few people here use these and claim they work well,

Candles do not create CO2, all they do is use up oxygen.

That does work too, just don't use the stuff with sugar in it.

go with yeast as long as you dont drop a single drop of that liquid,
yeast is a fungus and you dont want mold do ya

if the flame burns blue it creates CO2 carbon dioxide - i.e safe appliances like your cooker/stove.

if a flame burns yellow/orange it creates CO carbon monoxide, which can and will kill your plants in high enough quantities just like it will kill you.

I myself just use the sugar, yeast, and warm water, all mixed up in a 2 ltr pop bottle!! Works fine for me!! And the plants LOVE the shit!!And it sure the hell doesn't breakmy bank!! Say, like a Co2 tank and regulater system + not to mention all the other shit you would more then likley have to have!!
