I read shitty and a financial waste- which is what a lot of people think. I say that they work- and adding C02 is generally a good thing for indoor growing- I believe that you will reap the benefits-
I used them from the start and I had good success as a beginner so I keep using them.
Compared to what I was spending at the dispensary before I started growing my own- it is peanuts- the plants like it.
I also consistently finish in 8-9 weeks, only going 10 because it takes me time to harvest everything myself.
Here’s some greasy Dolato that I really enjoyed-

Do you have sealed grow?
I use co2 in my planted aquarium with good results, just cant see how that would be manageable in a tent.

Dedicated room- not completely sealed but the meter is usually around 800 - sometimes up to 1200
No intake/exhaust- I am conditioning the environment

mine isnt sealed but I also know that it might only be raising it 50 to 100 ppm, I am already growing in a basement with a funace and Hot water heater, both of which increase the CO2 levels in the basement by quite a bit, usually around 400ppm higher than the rest of the house.

Sounds over complicated for a first grow to me, honestly. Add too many components and it becomes more challenging to figure which is the problem when issues arise. It’s really simple to get amazing results. Too much meddling usually just messes things up. IMO. But whatever’s fun for you, certainly. Any updates?

Do you have a CO2 meter? How did you determine that your basement is 400 ppm higher than the rest of the house but don't know the contribution of your CO2 apparatus?

I've dabbled with CO2 for a while, including a time with a similar yeast and sugar setup. While it worked ok, it's output is very inconsistent and was actually no cheaper than simply buying a CO2 tank. The other negative of the yeast/sugar method is there's no way to shut if off during the dark cycle, very wasteful.

By all means, keep it running as it will produce some CO2, but if you don't have an accurate CO2 meter, you're flying blind.

No meter as of yet, I am basing that statement off other people who have done readings in a closed basement with a furance and hot water heater. True, no way to shut it off, but wasteful, not really I can always use the end product of the sugar wash, Either distilled as an antiseptic or fuel or if I get actual yeast nutrient, to drink as a sugar wine.
