What kind of light are you using? Keep the dryice away from your light and keep the room well sealed, to keep the dryice from escaping the room. At night put it into a cooler. In fact if I were you, I'd keep it in a cooler all the time, lifting the lid during the daytime, and closing it at night. Just dont lock the cooler, cause the co2 will blow the lid off if it builds up too much. After 2 days of usage, you'll see the difference.

as video mentioned, ain't the best set up for your dry ice you got there.
evaporation rate will be far to high, the light probably gone bake it away in a day.
go with videoman's suggestions for handling, he knows about ice

Dryice varies according to where you buy it, be it the manufacturer or a middleman. Try this, dryice directory for locating some. The question about how fast it dissipates is an old one, and as of yet unanswered to anyones satisfaction. When I use t use dryice, I woud only use 50lb blocks as it is the largest available, and will last longer that five 10lb blocks. You might get 5 days from 50lbs, it all depends on how you set it up.
Going from memory it is clamed to dissipate at the rate of about 6lbs a day, but you'll be lucky to have it last that long. Too many factors that effect this. The fan is a good method, however, you want a fan on the floor, slightly angled upwards, as the co2 is heavier than air, and it will sink to the floor. This way you'll be gathering it from the floor and re-circulating it to your plants. You shouldnt pay more than $19.00 for 50 lbs of dryice. $13.00 and you got a good deal.

You know....it's funny that you mentioned that.
What you're talking about is the Dry Ice cure method.
A. I've heard that it does work (sort of) Never did it myself, I'll stick to more traditional methods, water cure is about as wild as I wanna get.
B. It is an expensive pain in the ass (imho), but it IS quick, no doubt adout that...lol.
C. CO2 is poison (just like everything else - in over abundance)
D. I don't think this method would help the taste of the smoke any.
I've also heard of people using this as a method of freeze drying it for future use.

well curing with dry ice i guess is like freezer curing, it kind of works but rather bad since the low themps conserve the chlorophyll and it takes for ages.
if you want to use the same trick which is used to produce decaffeinated coffee, you are on the wrong track. that takes hypercritical CO2, so liquid under high pressure, plainly pain in the ass and it will flush out the THC too.
so as video stated earlier, that ain't the way to go

Theres lots of ways.
Arent you getting it for free?
I did like using the dryice. But you can go buy a tank, have it filled and lug it home.
Sometimes you can find one cheap, maybe at a restauant supply place,
or from a bar, they use co2 to pressurize the kegs.
New, your probally looking at about $100.00 for an empty tank,
getting it filled is cheap though. (this is new)
Technically speaking you need regulators and all this other crap.
I don't have that, I just have a tank and a valve, I am going to install a hose on it,
and attach the hose under my light, pre-drill a bunch of holes, and run the tank for about 90 to 120 seconds,
than shut it off. It'll shower my babies with the co2, and a fan placed on the floor, gently oscilating back and
fourth will pick the co2 up off the floor and re-circulate it up to the plants.

No way dude! Use this and look for a manufacturer, not a supplier.
tell then that you need dryice on a regular basis, this is important as they want repeat business,
not just a one shot deal. If they ask, say you ship meat alot.
They may still quote you a high price, just say well where I use to live,
I paid only $15.00 for it, cant you do any better?
(Hint, dryice corp. is a manufacturer)
