Nice thread Ganja, It is quite long and i admit i only read the first 3 paragraphs. Here are my thoughts about it tho, great info, but there is an easier way to do this, i have 4 CO2 generators in my cabinet, they are made from 2 liter soda bottles instead of milk jugs.
In the 2 liter bottles add:
2 cups of warm water (not hot, high heat kills the yeast)
2 cups of sugar
Close the cap on the bottle or jug of your choice and sufficiently mix the sugar and water, a half cup of water or so may be necessary to dissolve the sugar. Then take the cap off
1 teaspoon of active yeast
Recap the bottle and mix the yeast into the sugar and water. Then using a drill or a hot nail like Ganja, make a small hole in the top, not a pin hole, but you dont want it to release the prescious CO2 too quickly, i found a quarter inch hole is about perfect.
The bottles will last 2-3 weeks, mine are coming up on 3 weeks and still going strong.
The one problem i found in your post tho ganja is that you said to hang the bottles over the plants, i do not reccomend this, dropping a jug on plants could be tragic, dropping one on your lights could be extremely expensive.
I have them all around my plants, as close as i can get them, i believe in a perfect world i would have clear hose from the bottles and attach it up the base of the plant and have it follow up the stem of the plant to direct the CO2 right to the leaves! i havnt yet done this yet, i do plan on it and ill come back with pictures one i achieve success.
To go with added gasses and not to jack your sweet thread Ganja Guerilla, but oxygen is also a key to plant growth, not to the leaves, but to the roots. Adding some gravel to the bottom of your pots and then adding a simple air pump and pumping air into the bottom of the pot into the bottom in the soil can drastically decrease grow time. If you want more info on it, i can find the thread i found a couple weeks ago which is full of diagrams! If not ill edit this part and get rid of it!
kisses Ganja Guerrilla!
