Correct Way To Set Up A CO2 Generator For Your Plants.

OK, so I just started my room about a month ago and never have done anything like this before, this is my first grow. I spent over $2,000.00 on setting this room up thinking I had everything I needed. Turns out I forgot to order a intake fan and ducting. I ordered Green House Seed pack H and wanted to start off right with the Train Wreck, everything I have read would tell me this is the one to start with. Anyways, 2 1/2 weeks go by and the plant is staying the same size. Couldn't figure out what the hell to do. So I start reading forums about intake air, and CO2 generators and figured that had to be what was missing. I read a lot about CO2 and how and what the properties are of this chem. It would turn out that the soda bottle with sugar and yeast mix plan just wasn't going to push out much CO2 for plant use, and because I don't have a door on the room to make it air tight at this time. So I came up with this idea on how to make it work. You need (2) 2 liter bottles, any kind of air tight tubing, I used straws and it works great because of the bends, and a black CD carousel cover. Cut out a hole in the top so light can enter the top without a harmful reflection. Drill a holes in the sides on opposite sides for your hose's to fit through very tightly. Look at the picture to get a visual of what it looks like. Just think for a minute, CO2 is much heavier the air, so what you get is CO2 being generated going through the straws and into the holding area where it fills up and used. I do have an oscillating fan that blows over and exchanges new air and CO2 mixture. I since have put in a intake going to the room from an outside vent. Although I have fresh air filling the room I still keep this CO2 generator for all my younger plants. It helps them thrive even more then just getting that fresh air. Let me know what you think, and see if you all can improve it in anyway possible and share it with the world. I have searched forever trying to see if anyone has come up with an idea or anything like this, and have had no luck at all! I think this is a perfect idea for small plants and maybe only if your growing no more then 4 plants due to the space this set up can take up.

I have one 1,5L bottle with water, baking soda, sugar and yeast. Works great for 6 plants. I think your problem is your room not having a door. you definitely have to solve that.

When I do put he door on, should I make it air tight, or is it ok if a little air gets in there. Where I live I get all 4 seasons, and right now is end of summer, cooler but still hits 80's once or twice a week, so I keep a A/C in the window in my room the grow rooms in to keep it around 78 - 80 F. With a door installed what would be another way to keep cooler air in the room? I would like to get a portable A/C but cant see spending $500.00 right now seeing as its going to be snowing in a couple months. I do have a portable heater, and more then 1 if I need to keep it warm.

you spent 2,000 euros to grow 4 plants ?????and forgot the vents and ducting? start investing your money smarter thats like $4000 i understand $1000 on the lights but everything after that is pritty cheap spend smarter.unless your like a medical grower or somthing

No, I spent $2,000.00 in US dollars. I also had to build a custom room with sheet rock and all walls insulated. I bought a humidifier, dehumidifier, with controls for both. I bought a temp control for the room and the light hood. The nutes, and everything you can think of for soil grow. The only thing I forgot was the damn intake, go figure. But now everything is going great and growing damn fast. I just felt like a dumb ass and came up with this idea for holding CO2 for my room that had good air flow just not CO2 enriched air. I think for someone that is growing just 4 plants this would be ideal. Im not growing 4 plants, just 1 right now. I am growing the Train Wreck to be a mother to start cloning. I picked to get my seeds from Green House Seed co. because they seem to have there shit together, and seems like it is the closest i'm going to get to the real strain from a seed. Anyone know where to get a real clone LOL, JK JK.

ohh then im sorry i just saw that it says your in the uk 2000 is not then.... how many plants you plan on growing? do you have a seperate flowering section of your room?

i have done the co2 thing and it dose make a diff in growth just remember that co2 falls st8 down so put a tube directly above your plant or just put the tube in front of the fan

I have 1 plant, but is going to be the mother. In my master bedroom I built a grow room that also has a 4' x 6' room in it. That 4x6 will be the clone/mother room. The CO2 setup I have has the holes near the top, it is working awesome!
