CO2 for every one for about $3 dollars

[prodotype]

I seen this in a movie i down loaded from utorrent called (I Grow chronic) and
all you need is a sprayer about a buck at any dollar store and a bottle of
soda water around a buck or so, they use pressurized CO2 to carbonate the water just add to sprayer and spray.
One might add some folure nut's also.
Hope this helps 420

Umm.. That's carbolic acid you're spraying on the plants, and I haven't seen a single credible resource that shows this is any different then spraying water on your plant.

That's a great big Negative..Good thought process though! Grow on and tell us how that works out for you!!

I saw somewhere though that carbonating your water that you use for vatering was helpful, anyone ever heard of this ?

I tried the soda water thing a long time ago, it left sticky residue everywhere.

Did you just use plain carbonated water or something with flavoring?

 

[Joe100]

it was just plain soda water, nothing special. if you want to try this method, spray some on a easy to clean surface and let it dry first to see if it leaves a residue.

Probably had a sweetener in it, but i'm persnally really sceptical about using CO2 in water since it forms a acid and should send our pH level way off. I'll keep it in mind to check for residue tho, did you notice any change in growth when you watered them with it ?

Well, I only sprayed the foliage with the soda water, I've been using Deep Water Culture, and I wouldn't even think about adding it to my reservoir. Soil is a lot more accepting when it comes to adding sugars, molasses, and whatever else, still I don't think watering with soda water would have much of an effect, from what I understand, roots need oxygen, not co2. I've tried a few different small scale co2 methods, and what I like best is using yeast and sugar water.

Soil/Soilless mix buffers nutrients, where as hydro doesn't. I did read somewhere that someone was using this method to get rid of molds by lowering the ph on the leaves below the growing level by using plain carbonated water (nothing else is in it.. no sugars, etc).
