so i was curious for a quick answer. ive been searching and looking all morning and get different theories as to whether or not this will work. i was wondering if my dryer exhausted co2 or just co and if it is just co can or is it usable in my garage by my girls if i closed the door and never went in there since its hazardous to humans and animals.

basically i found out my dryer ducting was never attached or if it was it fell off. so the last few months or so im guessing my natural gas dryer has been ran everyday in the morning without the ducting in place exhausting it outside. just inside recirculating. will it hurt my girls if i keep doing it or will they put the co to use and bulk a little? i get the difference in the two gasses i just havent had time to research whether co is harmful to them since co2 isnt. also. the garage is sealed with ac. which is why i never got any of the humidity from the wet clothing being dried.

In an ideal condition NG will burn clean and produce CO2. HOWEVER if the flame is not pure blue (flickers yellow) then its not burning 100% efficiency and is producing some CO as well.

CO or carbon monoxide is a silent killer. Its how ppl commit suicide using car / garage.
that would be a nice way to go out. lmao. turn on the dryer and just start tending to the buds and never wake up. holy crap. kinda creepy. i never even realized that the hose was off. might get a buddies master controller over here to see what kind of ppms i end up with when the dryer is on and after. ive got a pretty good sized mini split setup so heat isnt an issue. in all honesty i never even open the doors so its gotta be doing something to help. the plants never get fresh air. need to fix that now that i think of it. need co2 rig for myself. problem being the fuckin dryer would suck all the co2 out of the room with the vent hooked up.

so im still stuck on whether co is harmful to plants. becuz i honestly wouldnt care if the vent was connected as long as its not going to kill the girls.

May or may not affect plants I dunno. Point is that carbon monoxide can kill YOU. So it makes your home dangerous to your very existence. Get a carbon monoxide detector / alarm.

ie got a few of them in the house. i have one next to the kitchen door that leads to the garage and one in the hallway leading to the bedrooms. wouldnt take any chances with it. a make wife wait for me to open the doors and stuff to air the garage out before she dick around in there.
