You can use carbonated water.No soda though just plain jane carbonated water you can foilage feed with it light misting be careful thought as plants use it during lights on and misting with lights on can be dangerous to the plant and you.Raise the lights when you do it and dont let mist hit a hot bulb or it will exploded.

Spraying soda water on a plant isn't nearly as effective as just making sure you have good ventilation in your grow space.
The CO2 in a litre of soda water, about 5 grams worth, if efficiently conducted to the plant, would supply it for few hours depending on plant size.
Serious application of CO2 requires either combustion type gas generators for large 'warehouse' or glasshouse size ops or in smaller ops, a tank of CO2 with a regulator, in a well-sealed room with a gas/exhaust blower controller, requiring airconditioning in most cases as well. Accurate delivery of CO2 and total atmospheric control in the op are essential for best effect.

If you shake a bottle of carbonated water it will pressurize and eventually explode if the bottle cannot take its pressure it developed in that process. We make soda water at my work and we mix it from a tank of Co2.
Yes it does let Gas out from what ive seen. Id like to experiment with this a little more.

Might be due to the fact that CO2 is colourless, odorless and tasteless (@ STP).

Plastic soft drink bottles are designed to withstand a pressure of 10 atmospheres (~150psi). CO2 in soft drink usually only exerts a force of about 2 atmospheres before the cap is removed, no matter how much you shake the bottle.
ha!

Or, it might be due to the fact that there is no way theres enough co2 in one bottle to cause any brain damage.
While it may technically be odorless, that certainly is not true, I can smell co2 very easily when I enter my grow room.
Peace

pour the soda water (no soda in in boys,...just carbed water) into the soil. you can spray the leaves,...put you will quickly lose carbonation in the spray process.
ouring into the dirt has amazing effects. aside from the fact the you can put your nutes/molasses in it,..the airy water fluffs the soil. giving it air,fluffing the dirt.

How many times do I have to tell you! YOUR ROOTS NEED OXYGEN NOT FUCKING CO2 CO2 IS BAD FOR YOUR ROOTS!

i should not tell people to try this, as it has only worked for me. i do not want to ruin antones crop,so sorry, dont listen to me. what works for one may not work for another.
The Effect of Carbonated Water on Green Plants
Lindsay Danzell and Jessica Greenberg
CU Boulder, Fall 2002
If plants are fed carbonated water for a period of time then it should grow faster than plants given regular tap water. This is because most plants absorb nutrients dissolved in water through their roots. Club Soda or carbonated water contains macronutrients essential to plant growth. Those macronutrients are: carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, phosphorous, potassium, sulfur, and sodium. Given proper nutrients, plants should grow at a faster rate than those who do not acquire as much of the nutrients.
We used six Helzine soleirolii, commonly known as Baby’s Tears, plants to conduct our experiment. The plants were divided into two groups, A and B. Both groups were placed in the same amount of sunlight and given the same soil. The plants were fed according to florist instructions. However instead of plain tap water, group B was fed Club Soda. Every day at 7 pm each plant had one of its shoots measured and recorded. This continued for ten days. At the end of the experiment, data was arranged and compared.
The average shoot of the plants given tap water grew 67% (n = 3) of their original height, whereas the average shoot given carbonated water grew 170% (n = 3) of their original height. In performing the t-test, the value of t was 0.135.
The difference in growth rates between treatments supports our hypothesis. Plants given carbonated water not only grew faster but also developed a healthier shade of green in comparison to plants given tap water. Although the t-test did not prove significance in this experiment, we feel that the growth rates are enough to support the hypothesis. Carbonated water is effective in promoting growth over a ten day period for Helzine soleirolii. Further experimentation to confirm our hypothesis should include different species of plants and a longer time period for observation. Nutrients dissolved in water may be more accessible to green plants because they are easily absorbed, as opposed to absorbing nutrients through soil which involves water dispersing through the soil and then carrying nutrients to the roots. The nutrients in the Club Soda are like a double dose of essentials for plants.
