CO2 Emitters

[deltaranger]

Has anyone tried any of the CO2 Emitter like 'the green pad' and similar that are on the market. I've previously used the old sugar and yeast and looking for something a bit better and easier to use. Have seen some that last for eight months so they say, but others that last a few week? Hope someone can help out

I wouldn't consider CO2 unless you have every other part of your system dialled in to perfection.

Thanks for the info, but it not what I've asked about. Like everyone, I'm wanting to get the most out of the plants and will always be refining my methods. In the refining I found using CO2 has helped the plants almost double in size and was looking for a 'easier' way without spending lotsa money

I haven't used them but I'm also thinking about using some type of disposable c02 emitter.  The type you just add water, shake up and they'll last about two weeks.

 

I haven't spoken to anyone who has used them, yet

I used to use CO2  For many year's by way of a little perspex box with 2 chambers an in one chamber it had 2 electrodes one - an the other one + an that was conected to a 12volt battery chager to power it, you would put oxcilic acid in the larger chamber an some other stuff into the smaller chamber with the 2 electrodes in it a power it up an with in a few mins it was making CO2 .

 

 

This would do a 1200mm x 1200mm grow chamber at the right rate of Co2. 15 mins on an 1/2 hr off.

 

One thing you must make sure that you have the right rates of Co2 or else you are just pissing in the wind trying to use Co2.

 

An as Naycha said make sure you have or the fans an lights dialled in  or you will kill your plants as you would all ready know this deltarranger.

 

Sorry this most likely will not  help you fined what you are looking for on the Co2.

 

Oh an the guy that make them Co2 machines is in Perth W.A.. I think they still make them.

Though I would give the green pad a go, one thing I noticed that isn't mentioned in their ads is the time line of the product which is a week- at least you get a month supply on the pack and its not too expensive. Going to use them on my next grow
