much more esey the a carbon fillter. the bigger u make it the better it works but u will nee d to time ingreadeance

 

 

 

 

 

DO-IT-YOURSELF C02 GENERATOR (for your closet operation)

Every green leafed plant uses carbon dioxide in its daily life. 0.5% of our air is carbon dioxide. Plants are able to utilize up to 5 times the natural amount and can grow 5 times faster - provided that sufficient light, nutrients, and water are available to support the extra growth. Generally speaking, a plant will grow faster with added carbon dioxide in its environment.

 

Yeast is a living, eating, breathing and reproducing organism. They consume sugar and water and excrete carbon dioxide and alcohol. Yeast is used in the production of alcohol. Buy some brewers yeast at a make-your-own-beer/wine store. You will have to get a large jug with a small mouth, a rubber cork with a hole in it that will fit in the mouth of the jug, and six to ten feet (your decision) of flexible tubing in which the carbon dioxide will travel. All of these can be found at the one store. You are basically reviving the dry yeast in the package so that they will eat the sugar you give it and produce carbon dioxide meanwhile. Ask the person at the store that you want to produce carbon dioxide for some house plants. They will give you what you need.

 

1. Fill the large jug with slightly warm water. Not hot, not even warm, just a bit warmer than lukewarm. The warmth wakes up the yeast.

2. Now add sugar to the water . One part sugar to every five parts of solution.

3. Empty the packet of yeast in the jug and stir.

4. After a few hours the yeast should be active and producing carbon dioxide. The production of carbon dioxide can be observed by actual bubbles floating to the surface.

5.The only thing you have to do now is maintain the life of your yeast population. Dump out some of the solution and add fresh water so that is does not become stagnant. Add a few teaspoons of sugar. Do this every week or two.

6.Theoretically, your yeast population can last for an eternity!

 

 

 

hope u find it usfull .cmssmc. peace out

This has already been posted.. plus if you a want to get rid of smell then you will still need a carbon filter of some sort.

 

CO2 only helps the plant grow, not keep smell away .

I remember seeing it some where also.

Does it work very well?

would it be worth doin?

Any negatives?

Surely its not that easy

Another excuse to get into home brew!!

You can also do it with vinegar and baking soda, a dish of baking soda and a bottle of vinegar set up above it to drip slowly into the baking soda. Acid + Alkali = CO2 + water.

 

Keep in mind with any of these methods, the plants only use CO2 when the lights are on, they do not use it when the lights are off, and too much CO2 can harm plants.

 

Another thing to consider, if your ventilation needs to run continually to maintain a cool dry environment then all your excess CO2 is going straight out the fans. CO2 enrichment will work the best in an air conditioned room.

So probly best thing to do.. is to air condition and co2 enrich in an enclosed room during lights on (maybe 1 times extraction during the process).. then smell and air change/ventilaition during lights off?

 

I understand the Air-con will bring in new air.. talking about extracting old air/smell (pressure)
