hi all,may any one tell me how often shall i use bacan powder and veneger to make co2 and when i should use that on darkness or lighting time,any information would be usefull.
Never. Dont waste your time on it. You want C02? But a tank + reg. Cost: $1500-2000US Is it worth it? Yup! But only if your plants can use it! And only if! If being enough light, nutes, air exchange, temp, water, etc.
This is actually a very good question and one that I'm curious about as well. My impression was using either the vinegar/baking soda mix or the yeast/water/sugar mix would generate CO2. Now if this method should not be used and a tank should be purchased instead, is there any reason why? I realize the fermentation method is the cheap guys CO2...but it's still CO2, same as coming out of a tank (more or less). So why would the above methods not be recommended?
what is veneger and bacan powder. lol hahahaha stop smoking so much weed. i think it is giving you brain damage mate.
WHAT!?! I got my tank for 90 bucks plus a regulator w/ electronic solenoid for under $200 and a CAP (arguably the best!) CO2/TEMP/Humidity/Light controller for around $200 all brand new (yeah my buddy is a hydro dealer but I'm quoting regular pricing). Total system is under 500 bucks.
I tried the yeast sugar and wate mix and the bugs liked it more than my plants. Vinegar and baking soda (NOT baking powder to the poster a few back) is just a waste of time IMHO.
hey i used to use homemade c02 in my aquariium and it worked really well... you can make a generator and use the yeast mixture in a 2l bottle and buy a disperser from a good aquarium store... i bet if your on your 12/12 and not too much circulation it could work pretty well... im kinda disapointed everyone has so much bad to say about aquarium products... i was really into my PLANTED amazon aquarium and found great deals on hps, mh and cfl/flourescent hoods with crazy qatts like 800... i really suggest you guys look around those places... and you can def. get co2 from them... pretty cheap tooo... just google or yahoo it... good luck and ill post a link when im not so stoned

Really? US or CAN? Thats some good deals than; seeing as a good CO2 Monitor / Controller cost about $400 - $500.00 alone. Do you have a link for this place?
US dollars brutha. The link is in my sig. The controller I recommend is only around $170 unless you want a PPM CO2 controller. Even those are about 150 bucks cheaper through him.
Thanks up4anything, I might just get a Vortex 6" from that place... it's about 100 dollars cheaper then anywhere else!
No problem. He made a me a deal on a Vortex and Filter Combo that was badass! Ask him what he can do (we did it NOT on Ebay so he could cut me some extra discount). Also, I looked at his store yesterday, and he doesn't have nearly anything up on that Ebay site. But I scored a PPM/PH/EC continuous tester, some mylar and other stuff for cheap from him too. My favorite toy is the Ozone generator though. My local Hydro shop was selling the same one for $315 GROW A LOT sold it to me for $145 with the full manufacturer's warranty (3 years I think). Now, whenever I need something, I call him first to see if he can get it.
Just a side note in relation to above. I LOVE my filter too. It's reversible so I can go longer between carbon changes.
