Quick Question...

Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to read this.

I would like to ask a very simple question.

Say one wanted to increase the CO2 in their tent the main ways are yeast/co2 bag etc...

Would one be able to use dry ice as an alternative?

Just a thought and I would like to hear your opinions.

sounds sketchy I wouldn't, but, then again i see little value in adding co2 unless all other environmental variables are 100% locked in.

I also think it would be hard to regulate properly
I do agree with all points mentioned, My only though is it may be more cost effective way of adding co2 to your environment.

Never tried it so cant say for sure.

i buy dry ice to make kief with...it costs about 6 bucks a pound here, may be different where you are...you would need at least a couple of pounds a day...so $12 a day times 7 is 84 bucks a week for dry ice...buying a small burner and a tank of propane would be a larger initial investment, but it wouldn't take very long at all to pay for itself compared to 84 dollars a week.

You could always DIY-it and have one one those self-made cO2 generators but IMO it's wasted effort if the space isn't sealed and/or recirculating. Your head is in the right place; "how do I max this shit out", but you have to kind of pick-n-choose which things you're willing to spend money or effort on

Can a newbie drops some questions regarding this .... my theory would be even if you used the recirculating air system you would then be elevating your households c02 and therfore even the air your recirculating will be a higher than normal c02 reading correct? I know massive spikes are no good for humans but that would surley be hard to hit with diy systems going in each tent, but the bonus part is for me at least I'm legal where I live to grow 12 plants and my a hole brother keeps the AC on 70 degrees for his own personal pleasure so I could shut recirculating off and just run that kit and or also leave the door open ? Again just a rookie trying to figure situations out, I've also seen where the direct the tubing directly over the plant would any of these work ?

I'd love to pack on some extra growth too my ladies and just ordered tubing and even a c02 monitor for each tent

Tomorrow my ac infinity pro 69 controller arrives to dial in VPD so now I'm looking at hopefully dialing the c02 situation
