i have four plants i am getting ready to flower and i am broke so i cant buy a Co2 tank. Mr green from "i grow cronic" said to use soda water with a spray bottle. but he did not say how to apply it. do i spray the plant or what? i know that if i get it on the buds it will prob give me bud mold. any help will be greatly appreciated.:weed:

They look like they're doing pretty good already, but that's besides the point. :) If you aren't using alot of lighting, the CO2 won't be of much benefit. You need around 6000+ lumens per square foot to take advantage of the CO2, and I think you also need higher temps(I could be wrong about that). Anyway, you don't spray the plants, you just set the bottles around and let the CO2 do it's thing. Also, CO2 is heavier than air, so I'd recommend placing the bottles up high so it circlulate around the room more effectively. If you set them on the floor, the CO2 might stay at floor level, defeating the purpose.

Ya i wouldn't be too woried about it. Co2 tanks are only beneficial to growers that grow in sealed rooms with many plants. You just spending 10-15min a day talking to them will provide them with enough Co2 to stay really happy!

I'm sorry but i do not understand what you are trying to say, clambake?

Having just 4 plants in a sealed room doesn't make too much sense to me...i grow up to 10 plants in a small closet that always has fresh air since the closet door stays open, and they do perfectly fine.

Plants breath in co2 and release o2, humans breath in o2 and release Co2, like i said spend a few minutes a day a few times a day with them, and they will get more then enough Co2 to be happy.

""but that is carbonmonoxcide not Co2 right?""


I'm not sure what you mean by that? CO2(carbon dioxide) is what you're looking for, not CO(carbon monoxide).

4 plants isn't going to generate that much smell...however i have a strain right now that is just 1 plant and she STINKS!!! Since my closet is in my bedroom it is easy to contain the smell by simply opening the windows and placing a fan blowing outwards in one of the windows. The rest of the house doesn't get the smell since the draft naturally goes to my bedroom, and i always have the door to the room closed.
