What method of co2 are you using?

Hey RIU, Ive been reading so many different ways to get co2 into your indoor garden, like fermenting sugar with yeast, propane pilot light, and co2 bottles.

What has been the most effective for you keeping cost/time/and practicality in mind?

Cool so after 150+ views, and no answers I guess its safe to say I don't need any co2 in my room. I doubt it...

yeah homie youll be fine without it... i honestly think its a waste

cool then thats one less thing to worry about..

thanks

use the search function, or google for that matter. co2 is very much worth it. it really all depends how dialed in you are now. theres no point in adding co2 to a garden with other environmental problems like temp, humidity, ph etc etc... i personally think the bottle is the best way to go. yeast is a lot of up keep, and propane adds a considerable amount of heat. the information is out there, you just need to search a little

I did search for a while and wanted fellow RIU members input on this. (some knowledgable people here)

Who are you anyways? 8 posts your fresh as fuck like I am, who are you to be bashin lol?

And obviously it would be a waste to add co2 if there were so many other factors but that wasn't the question was it? (Therefore I think I got that under control

Jeez so many people are fast to bash, just don't answer or click back like I do. And theres not that many topics covering different types of rooms/setups and the use of co2 in them in different ways from different sources, so asking a question like this is understandable..

anyways it was worth a shot!

i have a fat man on a treadmill in my grow-box

lmao how much space does he take up? and how much ppms is he giving off?

oh.......he's giving off some nutes, alrighty

i hear the bottle is the way to go. you dont need it but it'll help your yield!

so co2 is definitely a good way to go ive been using these co2 bags called exhale co2 they've been working great its a natural fungus in a bag that produces co2 the bags last for 6 months and range from $25 to $35 bucks and they work in a 4x4 area i have 2 in a 4x8 it increased growth and yield!!! i used to average 2 - 2 1/2 ozs per plant but with the co2 bags its more like 3 - 3 1/2 ozs per plant. I just recently picked up a 20lbs co2 tank still haven't got it up and running just need a regulator and some spaghetti tubing. But i hear thats the best way to go if your using co2 so why not give it a shot.

I will definitely get some of those, have you tried it?

Im guessing one bag should be fine for a 4x3 area?

Yes one more newbie!
I like the bottle with a CO2 controller, I got the C.A.P XGC-1E just because it was less expensive than the Sentinel chhc.4 at the time.
They both have "Fuzzy logic". Good luck!
