I hear you, but think about this, weed growers adapted a lot of the pre-existing technology of the world to weed, it wasn't "invented" for a home grow. A co2 generator can be built powerful as fuck, fill up HUGE greenhouses in minute. You can adjust it, control it. It's an industrial machine...

The take away is, assuming you can rig it in such a way as to not burn your house down ( I have faith! :) ) then burning 4 paraffin candles 12 hours a day is the equivalent of emptying a 20 lb co2 tank every 2 weeks or so.

I don't know, why do people spend $60 for a gallon of "Grow" water when ammonium sulfate costs pennies? :)

That is just to show the long explanation for anyone who seriously doubts. You can google a dozen sources in 5 seconds to tell you a candle burns 10-12 grams of co2 per hour. That's not controversial.

One candle would be 11-14 grams per hour. It takes 4 candles to get to 1 lb co2 in bloom, 1.5 in veg. Paraffin is a hydro carbon = hydrogen + carbon. Formula for paraffin is C25H52 (Atomic Mass: Oxygen 16g, Hydrogen 1g, Carbon 12g per mole) Molecular Mass: CO2 44g per mole Mass of 1 candle 80g...

Sure, or you can just float votif candles in water a la: Or, if you have a little space and want to add some ambiance, go with a cool desk waterfall, a la: Now, that's beautiful, and if you got 10 hour paraffin votifs, that right there is about a pound of co2 a day in bloom, a pound and a half...

For anyone who isn't afraid of the "toxicity" of candles, and doesn't need to be explained you might want to consider open flames in tents, feel free to pretty up your garden with 1 lb a day of zen carbon.

Jeez, ok man, be the guy worried about the toxicity of burning a candle. Burning. A. Candle... Here's two articles, one by a guy explaining how "toxic" a paraffin candle is: http://www.epicureantable.com/articles/acandles.htm And OSHA's analysis of paraffin wax fumes, from paraffin candles...

... no shit? I assumed nobody would be throwing candles in tents.. Don't drink the nutrients, either. Only healthy for plants.

In that thread, nobody added that actual breakdown, and I think some people are trying to use this site for concise information and not just being snarky... know what I mean?... troll?

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize on a site with literally over half a million threads, avoiding redundancy was the #1 priority?? You're trying to signal some experience with your "yawn", but all you've signaled is pettiness. I wont bother going through your history, but must be a pattern. Cheers...

Yeah, I thought about getting a hamster, wonder how much co2 it'd be. I have a snake, but their respiration is so slow, and he looks good in the livingroom.. but, when we say "burn cleaner", basically we're just saying "less co2" right? figure more co2 the better in this application.

Here's an article saying one parrafin wax candle creates 13 lumens and 11grams of co2 per hour :) :):) Funny thing is the article is about how bad that is for the environment... But that's not our environment !!! What garden wouldn't benefit from an extra 13 lumens and 11 grams of co2 per...

I had to comment, some of the comments are nuts: Candles are awesome. one parrafin candle produces 11 grams of co2 per hour. If you burn 4, that is over 1 lb of co2 per 12 hour bloom day, and 1.5 lbs of co2 per 18 hour veg day. Some of the comments on the safety are funny. No, don't put them in...

Yo man, check it out... Here's an article saying one parrafin wax candle creates 13 lumens and 11grams of co2 per hour :) :) :) Funny thing is the article is about how bad that is for the environment... But that's not our environment !!! What garden wouldn't benefit from an extra 13 lumens...

Nice! Man, I'm just not in love with open flame in room, but supercool.

I mean... I'd say I've read quite a bit on co2... especially for a guy who doesn't use it :) But, running theme of thread: plants like co2, important to understand. I'm no expert, but almost everything I've said in this thread was based in some academic study I've read. That's why I asked you...

Well put, and really the reason I haven't. 95 in hand is better than 100 in the bush.

I do spend "quality time" with them and always felt it perked them up. that ambient co2 i've figured I ave too. The door to the room is open most the time,and from what I've read just me living in the apartment when other windows are closed could be putting me in good co2 space... damn, wish i...
