You mean spray it on the floor or something yeah? You don't actually spray it on the plants do you? Isn't it a thick foamy substance?

Co2 despenser should be near your plants even with the canopy, co2 drops to the floor so if your plants are up on mounts they might not suck up as much as they could if you grew em on the floor.

Ninja noted on or around the first post that any local brew shop or store that supplys any kind of home brew kits, such as homemade wine or beer kits, sometimes hardware stores will carry that stuff, mine does, hell even walmart might, before you go too abunch of stores just let your fingers do the walking and pickup a phone book and call around and see if any department stores or hardware stores carry anything like that, then if all else fails try a home brew store, where they make wine and beer for people.
Hope this helps.
GFGreat thread!! I've been looking into a homemade co2 solution for my indoor garden and this looks like the perfect solution! I've read the entire thread and have one question regarding mixture temperature. From my understanding warm/hot water is required to start the fermentation process....in order to consistently produce c02 is it necessary to keep the mixture at a warm temperature or is the warm temperature only required to kick start the process of fermentation? My apologies in advanced if this question was already answer (if it was I didn't catch it).

Ninja genius setup mate. Definitely gonna give it a go. I was gonna make home made cider, would the c2o from that be damaging to the plants.(is there a difference) I'd hate to see anything happening to the girls coz i was trying to hit two birds with the one stone.(making cider).

I normally keep mine at about 24 degrees which works out well cos thats about the temp of my grow room. I think anything over 28 ~ 30 ruins the yeast & Co2 production will stop.
Sorry mate, cant say with any certainty, as ive never made Cider, but to the best of my knowledge it is all the same..

Happy days, I'll give it a go then so for shits and giggles. Cheers ninja. I was thinking it was the same thanks.

To generate the Co2 necessary to supply 1500 ppm to a grow room around 250 square feet you would need a system much much larger than the one mentioned. You'd need 1/2 a pound of sugar a day and a much larger container than a 2 liter bottle. You'd need like 10- 2 liter bottles or 1 per every 25 square feet.

I use the co2 output from my homebrew beer and it's not a problem.
Didn't see this posted but to anyone having trouble finding an airlock just put a balloon over the top of the bottle and poke some small holes in it with a pin. when co2 is being produced it will partially blow the balloon up and co2 will escape out of the holes you poked. When you need to add sugar or make a new mix the balloon will deflate.

Wow Best thread for my new setup m8!1x1x2 tent with just 2 plants should work great with that solution!TY
So here's my setup. I used a gallon drinking water container. It has a flip up lid and the hole is just a tiny bit bigger that airlock valve's end so it was perfect! Just close the flip up lid to shake then insert valve into grommet! 
My grow is 5x3x7 so I hope I can see some improvements as half of the girls in there are at day 45 and other half are at day 30 (from beginning of 12/12). In the next few days I will fit a hose to the end of valve and attach it to my fan.
Props to you Ninja!!

Glad i decided to listen to my Bro and join this forum growing 5 tangerine haze plants in my closet only day 21 but looking great will be impletmenting this system of co2 tomorrow and installing metal halide for them every little bit of tweaking to produce the biggest yeild for what i am doing is greatly appreciated , Thanks Ninja +rep

yes the yeast require no oxygen to ferment. they are faculative anaerobes in that they can use oxygen to perform celluarl respiration and in the lack of, they use fermentation following a glycolysis process. The use of fermentation clears the pyruvic acid production during glycolysis and allows ATP to be formed althouh it varies from 2-6ATP per process and up to 32ATP for aerobic respiration. From the numbers alone, if oxygen is available there will be no CO2 that is formed except during the krebs cycle where it is extremely minimal
