Using cutoff leaves for co2 concentration.......

Hello fellow growers. Ive been growing for a number of years, first time on this site. Im enjoying the info, and still learning. Somewhere ive read that as leaves decompose, they give off HUGE amounts of co2. With that being said, is it possible to supply your plants with that same co2 in the decomposing leaves within the garden site? Giving the fact that the leaves would be cutoff and either left laying on the ground(get a lil messy) or spread out in containers loosely(dont want mold), is this possible? Has anyone tried that for a sort of natural co2 concentration for flowering?

My previous setup 16dwc buckets, Growzilla reflector 400mh/400mh veg, 1000hps/400mh flowering, floranova grow/bloom, koolbloom, 2 commercial grade air pumps w/8outlet manifold, 16 4"round airstones. Change nutes every week. pic of day before 1st 12/12 and pic of 1 week into bloom.

I dont think it would be enough to help in that big of a grow room.

You can try the mushroom bags. Theyre basically a non fruiting mushroom strain that colonizes the bag and produces co2

But even then i think it wouldnt be enough for your grow.

You can always try making some home brew beer or moonshine. Get some yeast, x amount of sugar and x amount of water and youll have some nice beer as well as some happy plants.

But for a grow that size youd probably just want to move up to tanks or co2 generators.
