15 litre water container, add about 5 tablespoons yeast, a kilo raw sugar, insert air line, have it lined up and taped to back of oscilating fan above plant level (c02is heavier than air) see pic above.
Give the water container a good shake and whalla
Also once or twice a day how in and give the container a little shake and you will see it bubble even more

Might work for a small closet grow or some such, but once it's a whole room it's time to go to the tanks or a burner.

We've been brewing beer in the basement and i've been trying to find a way to harness the extra CO2 coming off. I also wonder if its so minimal and inconsistent that its not even worth it. I guess it depends on the size of the grow and what expected....

The problem with organic CO2 generators are that they can cause things like powdery mildew and other nasties due to spores.

I think thats a very good point bird, wether its right or not I honestly don't know but could be the nail in the coffin that imo...

Years ago a guy on here did a CO2 bag with some like fungus in it, claimed his ppm in a 1.2 tent was 1200! More than enough, mine runs at 1300-1500 after todays dry run, fucking RH is like 78%!!! Work in process... plants are only tiny so there ok for now.

Keeping in mind that I built my growbox apart from the house using many materials that do not burn; I burn strips of charcoal to provide CO2 along with propane lanterns. I use the charcoal mainly because it provides what's nessecary to prevent powdery mildew etc. I place it in strips so it will go out at an approximate time because I don't care for higher CO2 levels when the lights go out and that makes it so I only gotta be there to light the charcoal. Your light(s) on temps should be somewhere in the nineties when adding CO2 of any type.

Last few grows they were coping at 36-38c it gets very warm anyway with the CO2, but I didn't use it after week 5-6 of flower because its a proper fuckpig trying to keep the RH down, sweats like a prozzies minge on a friday darn chappytown! Plus the smell got too bad at some point, a badly balanced air flow due to temps n RH imo, plus an old carbon filter etc, but the end result was mega yields in DWC. This time I'm all new for the first time in 7 years and the plants are only seedlings still under 600 MH so they are ok for the time being... I inherited some kit of my brother, and included is a blue angel? Haven't tried it yet like!

Somebody should explain how the hell adding CO2 into a normal ventillated grow room makes any difference. You try to set up a room for rapid air exchange. The CO2 released in a ventillated room gets sucked out in under a minute. What's the point?

Oh you mean the plant that looks yellow in the picture because it's under hps lighting retardSeems to be doing great on that yellow ass plant in the op.... Riiiiiight

No idiot, that plant looks like ass even if it wasn't under an hps. Looks sick and unhealthy
