Let build a set up using trash for enriching plants with CO2.

"...if you're a PSYCHOPATH!!!: 😂😂😂😂😂 OH GEEZ! Caught me unaware there! GREAT simple video, just what I was looking for!!! Thank you!

[@IndoorHydroponix]

Thanks!!!!

[@iHustle33]

i laughed my asssss offf and its 4 am lol

[@ldnelso2]

You can add alpha amylase and gulcoamylase if you want to just use waste sugar starches like fruit cores, cake, pizza crusts, etc. the enzymes will help break down the starches so the yeast will get it.

[@ldnelso2]

Also the sludge you can just compost.

[@jondavid3630]

the yeast should remain alive after it has converted all of the sugar into alcohol so just pour away the liquid keeping the sludge at the bottom of bottle and just add more water and sugar. You can just keep adding sugar to the origional brew and it will make the alcohol stronger. If you flavour the water with hops you will end up with great home brew. You will need a bigger container and if you use a gallon you can make 8 bottles of wine

[@TheAmericanOne]

I have added a cup of sugar and warm water to an empty 20 oz soda bottle, shake it up good and add it to the 'spent' yeast mixture and successfully prolonged the reaction- it takes about an hour or so to confirm if it gets going again or if it's truly spent.

[@CTR207]

Great tip on covering your Reactor bottle . Thanks .

[@ibm450]

Great stuff man! I was going to utilize this method on my fish tank and co2 feed my aquarium plants. But due to working away up the mines the idea kinda fizzled out. but as always, great info

[@IndoorHydroponix]

tolga erok Thanks!!!

[@bankhead9285]

Laughed at the part ‘if you’re a psychopath!’

[@IndoorHydroponix]

Thanks!

[@keyplayr61greenhousehydrop14]

Great idea, John! You especially need that, since outside ventilation is not an option in your grow room!

[@IndoorHydroponix]

keyplayr61 . Thanks!!!

[@johnmcook1]

You can use grape juice and make wine while also making c02. ;)

[@IndoorHydroponix]

Well, technically yes. A lot of home brewers just funnel it into their grow room. Thanks for watching!!!

[@youloveoel9646]

Super straight to the point

[@stealthysumo3216]

or you could kill two birds with one stone and brew beer or other alcoholic beverages and use that as co2 source, ie. no waste.

[@6AlphaMikeCharlie9]

i first started using that about 20 years ago for the plants in my aquarium.

[@chrisinmadison]

Awesome video, thanks! I set one up with a 5-gallon bucket, using 1.5 gallons of water to 6 cups sugar with 2 tbsp yeast. Runs strong for about 3 weeks+ before needing a refresh. [I ran an aquarium hose into the bucket with an air stone under the water & submerged an aquarium heater set to 90ºF in the bucket. I connected those to the timer that shuts off my tent lights so that the process pauses during the dark hours when.] It worked great until summertime, when it gets hot in my tent and I have to run the exhaust fan constantly. According to my CO2 detector, the CO2 drops from 1000 to 1800ppm to 300-400ppm when the fan starts running continuously. Trying to think of a workaround to this problem but it eludes me. Anyone have any ideas? Happy growing!

[@ldnelso2]

Are you still using the aquarium heater in the summer?

[@420styletomatoes6]

Use a sealed light hood to vent through to reduce heat and still not remove air from your tent, you can get a CMH but obviously LEDs would be out.

[@vamps1385]

Awesome man, that some real McGyver sht there!

[@engell3707]

I loved that show. I also miss Nightrider and Magnum PI. The yesteryears...

[@biffmalibu5384]

Wow... clever man... thanks for the tip

[@IndoorHydroponix]

Thanks Mark!

[@r1hooligan320]

great info n Ur great at explaining things. Thnx 4 the video.

[@TheAmericanOne]

I just realized I was commenting on your first(?) CO2 adventure with the TNB Naturals Enhancer, I see you already upgraded.

[@danielshevlin4159]

That big bottle will wind up alcoholic.This how we used to make hooch in prison! 😂

[@IndoorHydroponix]

Boom!!!!

[@danielshevlin4159]

@@IndoorHydroponix Ha ha! I should have watched the entire video.But yeah still,kinda jogged a few memories! 😁

[@caderbavahsiddicl6414]

Thank lots brother...

[@IndoorHydroponix]

Appreciate you watching

[@scottdoran3112]

Great video, thanks dude.

[@kylethompson6611]

"If you're a psychopath!!!"

[@carrollbrown2020]

Spray painted the jug black to eliminate covering it up.

[@DanielSmith-yx6zm]

great video!

[@beachboybali7925]

good man will do that for my indoor plants

[@joeestes8114]

Great video! thanks

[@TheSuperfuzzed]

What ppm do you think this produces?

[@seanjackson8274]

super low

[@four20producerz77]

475ppm if that

[@iHustle33]

is it not toxic to be in a room with 1000 or more ppms? this method produces like 1500ppms right? i had a bottle of alcohol open next to a c02 ppm meter and it went up so high to 6000 ppms.

[@IndoorHydroponix]

I haven’t had any issues. The plants love it.

[@anarchyzed1591]

I heard that methods like this, since they are on a small scale. Do not make a big enough difference with each plant and not worth utilizing. I guess if you sealed everything off it would probably make a noticable difference. I'm not sure.

[@420styletomatoes6]

Air stone in the bottle speeds up the reaction and helps release the co2

[@CountryGirlChronicle]

Interesting!

[@alexanderantoniou7987]

What is the plant you are using ?

[@anonymouscitizen6165]

Great video but i got some questions 1.Is this co2 gas toxic and since its heavier than oxygen will this still circulate in the air i have a small grow box 2 Do i need my setup to have no circulation to keep this on the plant or should i still have ventilation i can close my ventilation if needed 3 How long should i keep this co2 disperser going 4 if i close up the dispenser tube will it explode what can i do with this set up when i dont need it Thanks heaps any adviceis appreciated

[@iBlancoUC]

1. Not toxic to plants unless it’s super high concentrations (that you can’t achieve with this method) 2. Circulation might be helpful. C02 sinks to the ground so a fan might help disburse the co2 around the whole tent if it’s not being actively exhausted out. 3. Until it’s not producing c02 anymore. Look for a lack of bubbles and strong alcohol smell. 4. Bottle will pop if it’s closed off. Solution is to just keep it open. No harm is being done by doing so.

[@tcase420]

Crazy cool. So about how long is a batch last you?

[@IndoorHydroponix]

About four days and it's done. I'm experimenting though! Thanks for watching!!

[@scottyroberson3532]

Brow sugar with molases will stretch the life out to 8days!

[@braleyshardwoodcustoms8584]

U can also use similar conjunctions utilizing bacon soda and vinegar ,or dry ice and water..great vid btw

[@progtom7585]

Why not use the spent alcohol as a slug trap?

[@Dr_Peeper_ICU]

2020 - Homemade Hand Sanitizer!

[@IndoorHydroponix]

Lol!

[@jfrom8886]

This works for a day or 2 and with low ppm

[@popsjohson6148]

totally cool

[@cemilbozkurt1334]

What is the ppm measurement for this generator?

[@hoggarththewisesmeagol8362]

Would it help to incorporate an air stone into the yeast and sugar bottle?

[@IndoorHydroponix]

I’m not sure! It would probably build up added pressure!!

[@1969matd]

How much Co2 is generated in terms of percentage?

[@ldnelso2]

Alcohol can get up to maybe 12 to 15% concentration until it kills the yeast. Once CO2 molecule for each alcohol molecule but the co2 is lighter by weight.

[@FesterWerks]

Cool!

[@IndoorHydroponix]

FesterWerkss. Thanks!!

[@seansteele1269]

How does this measure up against a mushroom bag?

[@IndoorHydroponix]

A mushroom bag would be far superior to this process, and it would last longer....

[@tmoneyg4811]

Mushroom bag cost a lot more tho

[@Matthlanning]

Only a psychopath would waste moonshine wash...

[@robk5865]

Nah...a bottle suspended above your plants with a bunch of holes punched in the cap. Let the co2 poop out the top and sink down to your plants. Never understood the tubing and extra water bottle. Over-engineered.

[@IndoorHydroponix]

That’s why I basically said optional on the tubing. I have pop bottles with pin holes cut in the top that do the exact same thing. But people like bubbles. So I gave them bubbles. I agree man.

[@freedom_born]

I think the water bottle is to help dissipate the ethanol.

[@manmeetkaur8149]

please can you tell how you made this mixture

[@samuelsolis8270]

Water, Sugar, Yeast

[@mefirst4266]

I DO NOT NEED CO2 IN MY POT !!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN BUY GOOD POT AT THE MEDICAL MARIJAUANNA FACTORY... FROM HUMBOLT COUNTY CA ... OK JACK

[@IndoorHydroponix]

Hey man, Humbolt is where it’s at. Now call down.

[@12dancycle]

Lol

[@isailwind3471]

That's ok if you like to pay over 10 a gram for inferior weed.
