Here's an article saying one parrafin wax candle creates 13 lumens and 11grams of co2 per hour

Funny thing is the article is about how bad that is for the environment... But that's not our environment !!! What garden wouldn't benefit from an extra 13 lumens and 11 grams of co2 per hour?!?!![Stick Out Tongue :P :P](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So, let's do the math:
adding 4 parrafin candles to your light regimentm we'll start just looking at flower:
4 candles = 44 g of co2 per hour. 44X12 = 492 g of co2 per 12 hour day... that's over a lb of co2 per 12 hour day! The equivalent of emptying a 20lb co2 tank every 18 days! (plus a bonus 52 lumens
)
for veg, 44 x 18 = over 1.5 lbs of co2 per day
