home made co2

videoman

Items Required:
* 10lb. white sugar
* 5 gallon clean bucket W/lid
* 4 1/2 gallons of water
* A piece of toast browned and hard
* A table spoon of dry active yeast (for baking bread)
First boil the water, (this will ensure clean water) remove from the heat and add the sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves. Let cool until water is room temperature (if you don't let it cool down it won't work).
After the sugar water has cooled, float the piece of toast on top of the water. Now, empty the tablespoon of yeast over the toast. After a few days, the yeast will take over the toast and start making bubbles (CO2) in the bucket. After a week, the amount of bubbling (CO2) will increase.
Keep the lid airtight on the bucket. CO2 travels up the dispersion tubing, and due to it being heavier than air, falls directly onto your plants. Timing your exhaust, is essential in maintaining an effective level of CO2.

Damn good directions!

One question...how long will it function to create CO2? Days, weeks?

Either way, I like it!

Hey tokecrazy, I haven had as much interaction with you here, as I wish I've had time for, my time is split here in so many different directions, it's hard. If I haven't told you, I love having you here, your a true assest.

I haven't used dry ice much recently, but co2 is best used during flowering, as it increases your yeild tremendously. Used during vegging, it will speed up the vegging cycle somewhat, but remember, IT is all about the yeild. :-)

The co2boost.com bucket, if timed with your light cycle, (a good idea) will make the bucket last about 60 days. this is how I did it on my first grow, but be forwarned, once you get hooked on co2, you'll end up getting a tank, this is the easiest way to administer co2 by far.

Not necessarily the best, but certainly, the easiest way.

Good luck!
