Nice co2 dispenser man, Might have to look into that a bit more. what exactly are the ingredients for the co2 besides yeast.

I keep it simple, I still ue vinegar and baking soda.
I got a psi gauge regulator from homedepot for about $20.
6 3L hawain punch bottles. There thick and can hold a lot of pressure
3/4 1/4 tubing also at home depot
Another regulator 3/4 1/4 $5
You do the plumbing the same way except after the 3rd bottle you connect the 3/4 1/4 regulator to the 4th bottle that way you can slow the co2 plus let it build up more pessure. To me its beter containment. the psi regulator you hook up to the last hose inbtween the 6th bottle and your loop or how ever you have it going around your garden. You can tel the pressure and control how much you put out. I only refill the regultor 1nce a week.
200grms of baking soda
4 cups of vinegar
I honestly think it can hold more but haven't tryd. Also fill each bottle half way with water [not the generator] Water compresses the pressure.

O yeah and just seen the top of your soil, when its dry it really looks like coco, is it??
I got the idea from another forum, but I expanded on it a bit. I use that same recipe. 15ml yeast (I just got a bunch of champagne yeast packets and it seems to be the best yeast to use, as well as 4.5 gallon carboy at a wine supply shop.) It's really important to have a thermometer to make sure the water isn't too warm. If its too warm it will kill the yeast, then it's all a waste. I just got some mini porous sprinkler hoses and a "T" connector. So I can make a loop around the canapy, and the CO2 will just cascade down through the leaves. I'll post photos of it later.
Oh yeah it's not coco, it's just dry Sunshine mix just before I gave them a good drink.
Here's his recipe and directions to "Khordes"post on --------org:
Stuff that you need...
- 2L pop bottle +2caps
- 3" of 1 1/4" Clear Vinyl Tubing (something with a bit of stretch)
- 1.5m of 5mm tubing
- 15ml Yeast (I used dry baker’s yeast but apparently Champaign yeast is the best)/ 480ml Sugar/ 2L Water
- drill with bits
- epoxy (waterproof)
To make the Bubbler on top:
-cut the 1 1/4" tubing to about 2.5" in length.
-Drill 5-6 super tiny holes (1/32" - 1/16") through one cap and one 5mm or 7/32" hole through the other, clean them all out and set aside.
-Soak the Tube in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, so it will have a little stretch to fit around the bottle caps.
-Push the bottle caps into the tube and stretch the tube around until flush with the bottom of the base of the cap.
-Let harden for couple hrs...
-Fin. Set aside...
To Make the Fermentation Mixture:
-Warm the 2l in a pot on the stove and dissolve the 480ml sugar, stirring constantly, as soon as all of the sugar is dissolved take it off the heat. Stick a thermometer in the sugar-water solution and let it cool to 38° C, this is the optimal temperature for yeast to activate, too hot will kill the yeast!
-Add the 15ml of yeast, stirring constantly, until it mostly looks dissolved.
-Let the mixture activate for half-hour to an hour before poured into the bottle.
Clean up a pop bottle with soap and water, bleach if you really want and make sure it is really well rinsed out. Add the fermentation solution to your newly cleaned out pop bottle almost to the top, probably 1.8L total, fill the bubbler from the bigger holed side and quickly screw it on to the top of the 2L without squeezing the bottle (it will suck all of the water out of your bubbler) you should notice small bubbles start to come through, that is the CO2, stick your 5mm hose through the hole, not into the water, just above the surface of the water; and wrap the other end (poked with small holes) around your plants. Now you have CO2! CHEAP!
***This Solution will last about 1week at optimal production, after that you can choose to either add more sugar to keep the yeast going or replace the fermentation mixture; if no more bubbles appear after the sugar has been added a second time then the yeast has been killed by the by-product of the co2 production, alcohol.
***THE FIRST MIXTURE does not need to be re-warmed for the addition of extra sugar!
I would like to see a pix for your setup on the co2 gen. I was thinking the same thing about the vinger and bakeing soda , but the othe way work to. But I have one question how do i calualate how much co2 to deliver . With the room size there small rooms now and where sould i place the bottles at top of the room or on the bottom. and as for exaust fans about how long should i time them for. couple times a day . and for the fans on the plants will that effect the co2 thats dropping down on the plants?
I just looking for a way to add to my system so I thought co2 would be perfect. I know about the sugar and yeast with warm water. Just checking all option before i began this project. any advice well help and i do have my rooms broke down to sq ft and sq inches.[/I]
I use a five gallon water jug with a bung and dual air lock. Honestly, imo if you are going the route of fermentation than I suggest you book up on moonshining. I was brewing mash and making moonshine before I started my first grow so it just makes sense to me to do both. When it's done fermenting all you have to do is distill it and walla, you have yourself 130 proof of some tasty shine. It's the best of both wolds, easier than making beer, and lets be honest, why stop at one vice?
5 gallon water jug costs about $12, bung $2, and air lock about $1.50. So for about $16 you can get a simple and easy to clean system that can be found at your local liquor or brew store. I make a simple sweet feed mash that's about idiot proof as you can get.
You got that right!
I think I've decided I'm going to start using that fermented mash from now on.
I just couldn't be bothered before, didn't have the time.
Like you I use a 5 Gallon glass carboy, but use a separate 2L as my airlock.
Do you have any tips on how to make a cheap distiller??
Seeing as that's the next step to making good hootch, I'm either going to buy one, or make one..
yeh or u could use co2 cartridges and release them but im not sure if this would b too much or too less....
