i believe i may have read somewhere on here that candles can be used to provide extra CO2 to assist plant growth. I know you can buy bags that release CO2 but i may need some extra heat in the attic/loft and my first grow has a slim budget
Is it viable? If so, what sort of quantity or size candle(s) would I need for 2-4 small Indica plants (Exodus kush) in a 2x2x6 tent
Trying to fill my head with as much info as possible now so i can go both barrels and give the ladies everything they need.
In my opinion safety should always come first. Leaving burning candles unattended would be bad ideal. The price of a small space heater and co2 bags could be less than $30. And a lot of really successful growers on here don’t use co2 bags at all in their grows. Good luck
Have to say I agree with the others. Outside of the fire risk, it takes a pretty stout room before you need to supplement co2. All of the data suggests that ambient co2 isn’t depleted until around a ppfd average of 1000 umols per second. If you’re close to that, then you need to be able to keep the co2 in th ed space while keeping cool during lights on. Once you can do that, the amount of co2 that would be required to make a difference you won’t get from those bags. I’m not sure about candles, but I suspect it would take a lot of them.
All things considered, co2 is for large sealed rooms with a ton of light and air conditioning. Not worth the risks.
I’m glad that you realized that , that was a bad idea and I’m glad that your not going to pursue this idea…
But I still think that every grower should have one of these and no I dont work for them… but I’m really leaning towards safety this year when helping people to grow…
Anyways , this can save your life and your property for less then a $100 bucks… look into it please…
