using a paintball gun canister to get co2

anyone done this?
I'm guessing you just release blasts of co2 over the plants since co2 sinks using some sort of release valve?

i mean.. a co2 tank from a paintball gun is the same thing as a regular co2 tank.... except they're small and you'd have to get it refilled much more...


you just have to release the right amount of co2 into the air around the plants. they'll take it in.
its just a can with co2 in it, no different than a regular one. besides the fact that a regular one will have fittings to regulate/monitor it. which you would need to get anyways..

can you use those keyboard dusters? Spray some of that gas (which I believe has CO2 in it) around the plants?

i mean i guess you could... but its not very much.

i think you need to decide if you even need to give your plants co2 before you start spraying stuff on them just cuz its co2. tons of people grow without co2 with excellent results.

that is a fucking excellent idea and i will deffinately be using it, now that is ingenuity.

i went to the appliance outlet store today and i found a kegerator it comes with a nice size co2 bottle prolly about 3 or 4 times the size of a paint ball tank. if you are stealth growing filling that would never be a problem you just tell em you have lots of partys!

do you really think anyone refilling your c02 tank would care? i mean you arrive.. you pay... they fill and.... you leave. if they do ask look at em blankly make them un comfortable so they never ask again when you show up for a refill.... no need to explain shit to no one ever

how long do u think that would last if i was to use a 20 oz tank?, that would help me eliminate the ventilation problem that i am having.
If it was only to last a day, then it would not be worth it

Im pretty sure that 2-3 of them could last you a lil over a week. It aint badf if you already have the tanks. There is this dude on youtube that uses a big tank and all he does it open it up once a day for 3 seconds and All he uses is a turn knob valve with 3/8 copper running into the fridge.
