Stickydank's Basic CO2 Method

^ Amen Brother...a torch...Jesus tap dancin' Christ. I've heard some lulus in my day, but that one takes the cake.

yes im very aware of the torch tipping over. i never leave it unattended because im afraid of just that.
i cant afford a co2 generator they are so expensive.getting a tank is more reasonable.ill be looking into that on monday. for less than 150 i can get a tank. which probably will be the same amount or save me money in the long run on the cost of propane.
thank you. ill get at least a small tank.
thats much better than burning down the house. the wife would be kinda mad too.

has anyone used CO2 analysis kit to see how much co2 this actually gives off? also does anyone have any experience how long this 5 gal co2 generator produces co2

LOL!!! That homemade co2 generator makes alcohol. Mixing sugar and yeast produces alcohol and the byproduct co2. So all I have to do is put the beer or wine I make in with my bud plants to get happy healthy plants and good drink.

Hmmm, sounds weird to me...
If I do remember my biology lessons properly, plants do need co2 during day to perform photosynthesis, but at night, they do not use co2, actually they need oxygen and i think that to much co2 at night could even make them suffocate. And based on this technique, i don't see how the imput of co2 can be controled at night...
What you reccon people?

Should you use the co2 from seed to harvest and would just one 2L bottle of it be enough for a small closet with my grow box thats about 22x18

Wow! That's some crazy alchemy! I might try that when I have more space to set up (and am not growing plants right near my bed)

Good trick though :)

Co2 should only be used when the lights are on, no Co2 at dark times, according to what have read, I just bought a controller, and Im gonna use bottles, we will see!!

[AlexMurker]

so....since the "originator" of this technique is not around. is anyone USING this going to post wat the finnished product looks like? we need a close-up of the exhaust tube also....

Just google some info on home distillation or wine making. A five gallon jug can produce CO2 for for about ten days to two weeks depending on temp, yeast, yeast energizer, sugar etc. With distillers yeast you get 20% of a useful by-product. Ethanol. If you can build a half assed still you can cook out over a gallon of 80% alcohol or 160 proof for you yanks. Great for making your own oil or getting pissed on. Free vodka.

I think it's homedistiller.org. You can download the whole site for off-line browsing. Very extensive and will teach you a lot more than you wanted to know. lol

Damn so awesome i was just talkin about how expensive proper co2 can be for a legit set-up and this is right up my broke alley about to put 6 bills into a grow setup when i dont even have enough money for food haha plants are better than food anyway so gonna give this a shot and wing it thanks for the tip smokeymcpot and evryone else for the tid bits of details
