Yeast and Sugar CO2 system question.

I have been using the yeast and sugar system to supply my plants with Co2 through its vegetative stage and it has been working well. I have just switched my plants to 12/12 for flowering and was curious, will the yeast smell accumulate in the bud and produce the potatoe taste that I have seen before?

Just thought of this while I was sitting in my grow room and considering while your plants are gathering Co2 the fans need to be off, so the smell will linger and penetrate the buds I would believe, Mainly I am just looking for someone who has grown using this method before and knows the result of the bud that is produced.

how do u do the sugar/yeast method? just mix those 2 in a cup and put it in the grow room up high or low?

thanks, thats what i was hoping you would give me, a link to a guide. idk if you know this, but how much does sugar cost? and yeast? i only have 10 bucks

yeast you should probably buy in a small can for 3 bucks max, sugar is like 1-2. a gallon of water and you are good.

Does anyone have advice for this?

sweet, im gonna go buy some yeast and sugar, i already have a gallon. ill let you know how it improves my plants. it takes 1-2 days to start truly working right.

alright so i went out and got 2 pounds of sugar and a bunch of yeast packets for 4.50. i have my empty gallon and a pencil hole in the cap. i plan to put all the sugar in and all the yeast packets. should i turn off my fan while the gallon jug is in there?

Yea make sure the fans are off, I dont think you are going to need to put that much sugar in... maybe a 1/4 to half that

well i put all of it cause it ended up being a little more then 6 cups like 6 cups and 1/4. and i only put 3 of those 6 yeast packets in. think i should put more in?

maybe one more. youll start getting some good Co2 in about 24-48 hours, shake regularly

that should be enough, actually a bit much i believe the recipie calls for about 2 lbs per packet of yeast...your gona have a strong alcohol smell in a couple days esp when u shake...just make sure that the water in the gallon jug isnt too high cause when u shake u get foam and froath that can spill out the hole in the top if u arent carefull...esp since u super saturated the sugar with yeast

yea, when i shake it with my thumb over the hole, and let go it squirts out lol.

aPPARENTLY i WAS JUST USING TOO MUCH YEAST, BEWARE IF YOU USE THIS METHOD THAT YOU DO NOT NEED MORE THAN ONE PACKET OF YEAST PER BOTTLE. Sorry for caps not retyping ;p
