I was just watching a Grow Video on Utube and the guy suggested a cheap altenative to using CO2(tanks), He suggested using Store bought Soda Water as a foliar spray as a cheaper way of producing higher levels of CO2 in his grow room. I've never heard of this but Soda Water is just distilled H2O impregnated/Carbonated with CO2. Just wondering if anyone has tried this method? If you wanna watch the Video either do a search for "How to Build a Basic Indoor Weed Grow Room - Step by Step Construction Guide (4 of 9) " on utube or heres the link : [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8oBw9k4VI0&videos=vtuim2xGsgU]YouTube - How to Build a Basic Indoor Weed Grow Room - Step by Step Construction Guide (4 of 9)[/ame] . I'm not endorsing this guy/video as if you listen closely you can hear him saying that he is growing for the "Crips" in BC. Forgetting that fact, its a pretty good set of video's showing how to build 2 differnt types of HYdro tables, But what interested me was the Soda Water Foliar spray, because i cannot afford/don't have access to tanks of CO2. Has anybody used this method? Or what does everyone think about trying this? Thanks peAce proTeuS Damn, i didn't know posting the link put the whole damn video right there, well its 10 minutes long so where hes talking about using Co2 is around the 6 min mark if you don't want to watch the whole video. Specifically the soda water part is at 8 min 27 sec EDIT = Seltzer Water i guess, not Soda Water
It's a waste. Your plants will get more CO2 if you just talk to them, and they get plenty of CO2 if you provide good fresh air ventilation. And you definitely don't want CO2 into your soil.
good point, where my closet is hooked up to a bedroom it should get enough co2 just from breathing at night, it would be pretty friggin epensive if you used that as a foliar spray daily. Thanks peace proteus
I think to get the benefit everyone's after when thinking of co2 requires a large amount to be constantly around the plants in extreme concentrations and shit.
This guy is a total noob... His rez return is a hole in the bottom of his rez... So, when his silicon leaks, and it will leak, his whole rez will drain out... And zip ties for hose clamps, nice... -Loki
I know a lot of people rip greenguy because he makes some noob mistakes, but I will admit that his video is what got me started in growing. I tried using club soda, but you have to be carfeful because there is sodium in it, and the sodium buildup on the leaves will kill them. I don't think that it's necessary to use co2 like this, as if you have an open window anywhere in the house, it should work fine. I grow in my basement and have never opened a window down there, and keep my area closed off (mostly) with plastic sheeting and have never had issue. I did invest in some of that stuff called excellofizz, which produces co2, but i havent used it yet. also, i heard that co2 only does you good above temps of 80 degreees anyway. most important is using an oscillating fan to keep the co2 in the room moving so the leaves always are surrounded by the co2 that is in the room.
HAHAHA!!! I sat here one night and watched ALL of those videos, that guy is fucking COOL huh!!!? Love his costume and the way he explains things so thoroughly. Lmfao talks to us like we're 6 years old
I actually found myself laughing many times at this guy. my fav part is when he is talking about being late to transplant. and says "you know how it is" or when he laughs at mentioning his "little 1 inch hose"
I was also looking in that "excellofizz" stuff, I wonder how often you are supposed to use it? I know it says it works for 5 hours but are you suppost use it daily/weekly? Let me know what you think once you use the excellofizz THanks peAce proTeuS I wasn't sugesting watching the video, i just was showing where i got the idea from Hes a friggin idiot teaching his "crip" GangSTA friends how to grow for the black market. I DO NOT ENDORSE that video or the dueshbag in it - I know the spellling is wrong but you get the pont
Total waste... if you want some cheap CO2 just use yeast. As for the soda water, I'm actually thinking it'll do more harm than good, CO2 in water lowers the pH of it, so it would make your soil more acidic should you water with it. Good Growing and Happy Toking!
WoW, that suprised me, i guess i'll be better off just talking/medatation in my room for 20-30 minutes every day. One of my branches grew to be to close to my bulbs and while i was bendint it it snapped, IM trying to clone it, whatever happens - hasppens. The branch that broke was a lower branck off o f a plant full of smaller branches? Will this hurt my girl? If the clone survives i'll flower it to find out the SEX if my LST babies.
