Here's a cheap CO2 solution:

ExHale CO2 Cultivator $23.40


ExHale - Homegrown CO2 cultivates CO2 24 hours a day with no need to refill bottles or use expensive CO2 production units. The power of ExHale lies in the mycelial mass inside the vented cultivator. This mycelial mass cultivates 20,000ppm CO2 and the one-way breather patch releases CO2 continually for up to 6 months.

ExHale comes complete and is cultivating CO2 even before you get out of the checkout line. No need to turn it on or turn it off, simply place ExHale in your grow space and leave it alone to do its job.

A continuous shower of CO2 directly onto your plants is the most efficient way to deliver CO2. Placing the ExHale Cultivator slightly above the level of your plants will insure they receive the CO2 they need 24 hours a day for up to 6 months.

The ExHale Cultivator is designed for small to medium grow spaces, or more specifically 1 ExHale Cultivator will provide 4-6 plants with the CO2 they need.

I use 4 X 1 gallon sugar/yeast generators and yes I saw a lot of difference when I added them. I initially added them for minor heat stress, not only did the heat stress symptoms go away they took off like mad in veg. I use 4 1/2 cups sugar and 1 packet of dried yeast (2 1/4 tsp) for each gallon jug plus a 1/4 tsp of baking soda to "kick start" the process, lasts about 10 days on average. Always use warm (not hot) water and don't fill the jug completely. I usually fill it 1/2 way w/ the warm water, mix in the sugar then top off up to about the 3/4 level (right where the jug starts to taper in) then I add the yeast and finally the baking soda. Hope that helps.

Scrog that definitely helps I think I am going to make a similar system after work when I can get enough bottles together.. I like the mad scientist look of it lol

LOL -post some pics when you're done. Here are a couple of pics for details...

For sure Scrog, Im going to do it this weekend for now I got to drink a few gallons of water to get the bottles I need but Ill be putting up some pictures when I get it in Dont mad if it looks pretty similar to yours lol

nah, only so many ways you can connect a couple of milk jugs with bits of tubing, heck I'll send you this one if you want it... happy if it helps.

edit: btw - if it isn't obvious the black paint was just to prevent light from coming in through the clear tubing

SO here is a quick Vid of what i did Ill also add some pictures in case some people dont want to watch a 2 min vid

Does anyone know what sugars including regular white sugar produces the best results.

I used to use a home made CO2 generator when i grew in a closet. Now its not practical because the gas just disperses through the room. My thing was a 5 liter bottle, two thirds full with warm water, yeast and sugar. A hose at the top of the bottle led the gas to another bottle and bubbled it through clean water. This reduces smell and prevents bacteria from getting into your sugar/water/yeast mixture. Can´t really say how effective it was...i was new at growing then...

i feel very silly for asking but can you use brown sugar? im all out of white..
