Do DIY co2 systems work

Jmaninthemidde420started grow question 2 years ago
Does anyone else think that yeast sugar and water makes a good co2 system. I put 2 in my 5x5 tent with 3 plants. Used a 5 gallon bucket with 1.5 gallons of water, 6 cups sugar, 2 packets instant yeast(should last 2 weeks b4 replacing ingredients)

It is an option for making CO2, but its mostly likely NOT needed, You need to have a sealed grow room and pushing 40+DLI to fully get the advantages out of additional CO2 added into your grow or else it is just wasted money. Mainly if your space is not sealed your just venting out the CO2 back into your living room or outside depending how your setup is. Indoor air is naturally higher in CO2 so that's a bonus from us being in the space with the plants. I do not use supplemental CO2 and probably never will. In short don't waste your time or money on it, and if you want a cheep source for when your ready, use dry ice or the mushroom bags, they make a good source of it and are also a living organism you can add into your compost pile. Dry ice can be found at most companies that deal in regular wet Ice.

Good idea, atleast worth a crack would be nice to measure somehow to see if it changes anything.

I don't personally do this - or anything else to produce co2, honestly - but I've seen comments from a lot of folks who do and they say it works pretty well... I think m0use has practical experience here... I'll make sure to ask her to look at this question and give you her thoughts.... Good luck!
