My bad breath = co2 tank? yes, no , kinda

[Sir Puffs Alot]

I have a question for you guys: Are the sisters happy if I’m breathing in the room about 8 hours a day ? is this comparable to a co2 pump setup, or on a side note , is it even enough ? don’t get me wrong guys I’m not just standing next to my plants breathing heavily on them I’m just playing video games on my computer and doing my university work in this room most of the day.

Just thought I would toss up the question considering I started reading on co2 a few hours ago.

As usual thanks for all your help guys , you guys are all very impressive farmers

plants can absorb 5x atmospheric concentrations. it is a throw back to when plants were first evolving and the earth's atmosphere had a loy more CO2. so your breath is prolly not enough, unless your full of hot air, lol.

iy you have enough sir circulation,your plants are getting plenty of co2.only if you have a sealed area with the right equoment then c02 might be of value.

in a large room you should have plenty of co2, only if your temps are high should you need to suppliment it, i like to spray my plants with sparkling water,{not the flavored kind}

I think i seen that doing so is pointless. and that it's not working despite the co2 in the water. I could be wrong....

i could be wrong, but it gives me an excuse to spend time with my girls

should be plenty of co2 don't worry about it

You're just asking for fungus.

I made a hella cheap CO2 bubbler outta a five gallon plastic gas can (non-vented) tapped a small hole in the top just big enuff for an aquarium hose piece with the black hard plastic piece and dabbed some gasket seal around it. I ran the hose up to a small airstone I sat in a cup of clean water. Then I filled the can 3/4 full of warm (not too hot) water, and dumped a 5 lb. bag of sugar in, reserving about a cup back to activate the yeast. I then added 3 packets dry yeast to a big glass of warm water along with the sugar and stir....(this activates the yeast). After about 20 mins dump the cup of yeast/sugar water into the can, seal it up making sure the caps on airtight, and in a while your airstone will begin to bubble in the cup of water signifying the release of CO2. This worked well for my small scale operation, especially if you kill your fan at night cycle with the lights to let it build up a bit.

my buddy seems to think that breathing on the plants is good, but his breath is extremely smelly most of the time and i told him it might contribute to fungus.

i dont think breathing alone is really enough. im going to toy around with a dryice setup for a minute, then upgrade to a co2 tank with regulator.

lol. my plants are doing fine. plants have been growing fine for billion's of years. they will contuie to grow fine once we are gon, an won't need any co2 tanks. or is that why they let us come about, they needed co2 tanks to sumplmet there growing? lol. i for one wont expose anyone in my house to ponticle co2 posieing. just ant worth it.

...except for the fact, that you have no idea how much or how beneficial(if any), amd plants do not use co2 in the dark, but produce it.
