I never heard of that before. Pretty cool...

I know some fungus can be harmful...Ex:I think "root rot" is a fungus...

Yeah but it's. It the same. Acctually I think root rot is a bacteria. Not sure though never had it in soil/less mediums.

Oh, you want a cheap CO2 source?

OK sit in your grow room. . .

Voila, your exhaled breath increases the CO2 in that room.
See how easy that was?
If you need more CO2, then EXERCISE in your grow room.
Obviously, that's more work, though its still cheap.

A bit more seriously, I'd be **HIGHLY** leery of putting an open flame in my grow room. Also, if you are venting your room the way you probably ought to, then whatever little extra CO2 you'd be adding from something like a candle would probably just get blown right out via your exhaust.

So I'm not a total nut nut talking to my plants then. We had a lovely conversation the other night about how she cant wait to be inside me. :bigjoint:

No "exhaust" just that fan

And I already breath on them also

Coleman Lanterns burn real clean, and release co2

those Exhale bags are bullshit. we tried one on our last grow. no difference.

The the OP, you are mixing up carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. One can be used by plants and one can't. Orange/yellow flame is carbon monoxide. Blue flame is carbon dioxide.

I'm not mixing it up, I just never heard about the flame color difference...What did I say to make you assume I knew anything about that?

And I'm not sure I believe it to be true, as I have always learned that FIRE releases CO2...
I've been told Matches release it and that is orange/yellow fire
I've been told Forest Fires release it, and that is orange/yellow fire

Maybe I'm wrong...

hey that so cool, never saw that, thanks

Taken from jorge's bible, "a yellow flame means unburned gas (which creates carbon monoxide) and needs more oxygen to burn cleanly."

The bag was probably too close to your exhaust fan. Co2 likely got pulled right out of there. You gotta position it so the co2 gets pulled across your plants before getting sucked into the exhaust fan. So on the opposite site of the room your exhaust is on.

For co2 I use these mushroom bags. Just put in the room and it breaths out co2 and lasts about a grow. When the mushrooms have grown its used the co2. Cheap too, I'm not sure what it's called and I'm a combo of really stoned and busy so search it yosef ...!

ive heardf this before. any added info would be greatly appreciated. brand? where to get? etc. thx

the highest my grow room has gotten from me being in there for 45 mins was 400 ppm, and its normally at 256 without any co2. so roughly 150 ppms, which won't do anything really...

I agree fire in grow room bad idea you already have electricity and water. Its like adding insult to injury. Plus breathing in your grow would produce more co2 then a candle anyway (just reiterating your point) the only way to really add proper co2 levels is either with co2 generator or co2 tank and regulator.
