without proper testing l guess well never know.
But there is science behind it.......
For every glucose there are 6 carbon,
So 2kg sugar 4 yeast packs 8 days is.....
24kg co2 over 8 days, with losses...
Id count as minimal, is all alcohol when done.
20kg CO2 over 7-8 days depending on change out.
Over 1080 useable ppf. Figure Co2 is sitting between....
800-1500 depending on time of day and buildup.
Only flush humidity and CO2 for 2 hrs a day.
1 hr before and after lights out.
Do not open tent for at least 1 hr after lights on.
Will suck up all available buildup of Co2 at lights on, l give hour.
This all started because of leds, good leds need CO2.
Anything over 1000 even se hps in 4x4 needs Co2 to grow well and handle heat stresses.
For 2kg of sugar and 2 dollars in yeast, squirt of ketchup too.
You have Co2 for a week in 4x4.
I introduced it within a week of recieving leds.
Found homebrew grows them best.
Average 7-10 bubbles per second approx.
Bad eyes, old.
Each bubble 1cm 3ed .
In 4x4 16 sqare feet x 4 feet approx light height now.
McGyver fan to suck Co2 from floor into canopy, so roots get less Co2 this way.
Canopy more!
15gal used water bottle, full as can be.
I use very warm water almost hot
Airhose going to waterbottle as filter and visual indicator of health of homebrew.
Need to make good seal at bottle, tape works.
Co2 is heavier than O2, make it rain down on plants.
I put above light under fan in centre.
It does work, so if you have problems with learning curve of leds, Co2 is a big help.
2nd crop temp 90 rh 80. Growing better than last crop., no ir heat takes getting used to.
If your strapped for cash or just like more natural way of doing things. This works!
All spelling double checked, post.
