New & Improved DIY Co2 Generator

This video is a New & Improved co2 Generator.
Easier to make then my last one.
What you need :
5 gallon bucket with a lid.
use the aquarium air pump, air hose & 1 air stone.
Incubator heating matt or an aquarium heater.
water, sugar yeast.
mix: dissolve 4-6 cups sugar into 2 gallons of warm water
then stir in 2 tablespoons of yeast.
Change mix about every 2 weeks.

[@nonononot8639]

Sugar/water/yeast. Air tight, hose it out. Lose the airstone, last thing yeast wants is disruption. Ntm it will only dilute your co2 with oxygen

[@paulmaddaloni2299]

Enjoyed the video and made one of these for my room couple days ago; seems to be working well/getting better ppm than with an exhale bag. This method is much cheaper than replacing bags every 4-6 months (plus exhale bags seem to always be near the expiry date). I made a couple minor modifications as saw fit; - added check valves between pump and bucket - added a second smaller bottle with just water to act as a gas defuser which prevents unwanted gasses for passing into my room - shut off valve and check valve added between bucket and bottle - insulated the bucket for better heat retention; helped a lot to keep around 90 degrees with just a reptile heating pad under the bucket All in all great video!! Recommend this method if looking for a cheaper alternative for Co2. If have to replace exhale bag every 6 months this method should work out to less than half the cost.

@@Cj-cv4wb "added a second smaller bottle with just water to act as a gas defuser which prevents unwanted gasses for passing into my room" What does that part mean? How would one do that?

[@Cj-cv4wb]

@leathan7 the tube leaving the bucket goes into a soda bottle 80% filled with water where it will come out of the tube submerged in water, rising to the top as bubbles then the pressure should push it up and out of the exit tube that's also through the cap of the soda bottle since that tube doesn't have a pump pushing air out of it and that tube shoots it down over the room. When it's rising in the bottle as bubbles the ethanol vapors dissolve into the water but not the co2.

I’m experimenting with this. Some changes I’ve made: only turn the air pump on for a few minutes when your light turns on. Yeast will only need that one blast of oxygen to work properly....will stay active for a long time (full day). Continuous oxygen is no good apparently. Also, I wrapped a heat mat around the bucket to keep it in the high 90’s F (38 C) for the yeast to stay active.

[@BillWard420]

The air pump is will hinder what you are trying to do. Yeast need a little oxygen to start reproducing at the start..Which can be done by vigorously stirring it before adding yeast.. After that, you DO NOT want any oxygen to enter the batch... The lack of oxygen is what causes it to slow reproduction and start working to convert the sugar into alcohol and C02 and other compounds.. Also the C02 will exit on it's own easily as it will build lots of pressure in the bucket.. You can test that by shaking a bottle of pop and opening it.. "Oxygen During fermentation, yeast has a couple of choices. If it has oxygen available to it, it will be able to reproduce quite rapidly (doubling every 3 hours). If there is only limited oxygen available, it will turn its task to producing ethanol and other products (about 1300 in all), like higher alcohols (sometimes called fusel oils), esters, organic acids, and carbonyl compounds. To get good initial growth of the yeasts, you want to have a bit of oxygen available - but you can do this simply by stirring the wash vigorously when disolving the sugar. Once you have added the yeast, it is critical to seal the container such that air cant get in, but you can still let the CO2 out, by using an airlock." Or airline in this case..

I am actually wondering why the air pump and stone,?? I've been doing something similar for years using glas gallon jugs painted black with the caps loosened just enough that when pressure builds it expels the CO2. Light impedes the fermentation that's why they are painted. I put a gallon jug in each corner of the tent and they last around 30 days. The tent keeps them warm no need for mats but if in a basement and they are on the floor that would be a good idea. I actually make wine while providing my plants with CO2.

[@liamcondon225]

The pump allows yu to bring hoses up and mount them above the plant , C02 is heavy gas and will drop to floor so it allows the plant to uptake more gases then having it just expel onto ground

I distill my own bourbon and run a hose from the water trap on the fermenter to the grow tent to make use the CO2 which is a byproduct of the distilling process. Be careful using the produced CO2 on seedlings as two of mine died. Not sure exactly why. The fermentation process and the distilling also attracts fungus gnats and those little bastards are no fun and are a real bugger to eradicate.

This is a great generator, but overkill and actually counter productive. Fermentation is anaerobic, so the pump is counter productive. The fermentation process will create it's own pressure from the C02. If you just put a couple of hoses through the lid and run them to your plant this system will work great. You will need to re-do your solution weekly for a constant supply of C02. Eliminate the pump and this will work great! Thanks for the great idea Ganjajuanaman.

[@1956tojo]

Putting your system there on a timer only stops the pump.... the Co2 continues to be generated and if the pressure it takes to work the bubblers in your aquariums is greater than the pressure to overtake your air pump, your air pump is going to get flooded with sugar water until no more pressure exists.... you better put a check valve on that pump side...and if the sugar water has to reach that check valve to make it work, it has to be cleaned every time.... How long does it take that air pump to build enough pressure for this thing to work? A couple of hours?

[@larryfisher5198]

Ok someone commented about bringing in fresh air via the pump and the subsequent dilution of the co2. Assuming the bucket is outside the tent why not place the pump inside the tent? Sure it will still be diluting to a degree but as gas is produced and co2 level rises in the enclosure the pump would be delivering elevated levels back to the bucket. In my feeble mind this reduces the dilution by an unknown amount but still reduced nonetheless.

[@imnutrak130]

nah, just adapt cap of big water bottle 10 liters with glue and and that's it. Much more flexible and can take a hit, I just kick it to mix in the sugar again.

Will this last the same 15 to 20 days at higher concentration or can it go 30 days? It is on day 22 now and the fermentation odor is much less prevalent than the first 15 days but growth remains robust.

[@mikeduda8720]

What about a way to trap the CO2 during the night phase? Since the reaction is 24/7 but you dont really want 24/7 CO2 what about running your exit hose to another bucket (perhaps at a lower level). During the day you can put oxygen through the solution and at night turn the pump off and hopefully the slower reaction of the CO2 would go into the 2nd bucket and settle at the bottom. You could only trap 5 gallons or whatever your bucket size was, and then it would be there in the morning on top of what you would produce when the lights and air pump came back on. This is just a thought I had, maybe you're the guy to look into. I dont have a way to measure any results so it may be junk science.

honestly they don't generate enough (i have had fermentation fridges packed with 30+ gallons of High gravs and they still don't product all that much).

This idea is not new but it is effective ..... for those worried about moisture coming out the exit tube just incorporate a moisture trap as suggested by some. An easy trap would be to form a drip loop in the tube ( a U shape) with a tee piece in the tube (bottom of the U shape) , another short length of tube running off of this into a sealed container. CO2 can still pass the tee and not escape the sealed drip catching container and the moisture will drip down either side of the U shape. You won't be able to trap all moisture in the humid air unless you ran the drip loop through a condenser ( much cooler place like a refridgerator) ..this is not practical. In a small area like a 5 x 5 tent a few containers of moisture absorbing containers could help ( active constituent being Calcium chloride 60 -100 % ) reduce the moisture level but these need to be changed anywhere from 1- 4 weeks depending on the volume of absorber used. I live in the sub tropics and use this for general moisture control to reduce mold during the wet season ...not 100 % fool proof but does help.

But says to have a wine making flow meter. Of which i dont see why... I dont see a reason to block the flow in this mixture. Not as if it could over CO2 your room. Or could it? Or...will your system put out more co2 than a setup without a pump? Naturally letting the pressure out as it needs. Not forcing it. Just looking for the most efficient way first.

best is can think is put you plants inbetween the exit and the co2. also try using LED lights to keep heat down if not already? i know these ideas are weak im in your same situation haha OR we could encourage people to burn more fossil fuels to get co2 levels back up to when the earth was slaying at co2 2000 ppm hahah

[@chrisinmadison]

@@ManofLetters thanks for the reply! I removed an HID and left the LEDs in my tent and now I'm able to pause the airflow periodically for several minutes without overheating the space. Helps a little :) Then I just added a 2nd 5-gallon CO2 bucket, which was a tight fit but it helped a lot.

[@littlenugs9942]

Why do you want to put heat to it? I already use the same solution in a gal milk jug. And I put a balloon over the opening with a pin hole in it. 2 weeks of guaranteed co2

[@jameskid81]

how much does it produce?

@@jameskid81 had2 of them in a 2 x 6 x 8 space got as high as 1100 ppm it helps.

Love the bucket idea though. Why do you add heat!

I will shut the air stones off during lights out, should I also turn of the heated mat ?

[@rogerwilkie8555]

I wonder if this will work for planted fish aquariums.

[@GanjajuanaMan]

I wouldn't do that, it would probably harm fish. This is only for plants. Thanks for watching.

[@KatieJean394]

People make diy Co2 for planted tanks all the time check out king of diy…. Doesn’t harm fish as the plants absorb the Co2 as long as you shut it off at night…

[@joew6271]

Hey @GanjajuanaMan great video. What doesn't smell bad when making a Co2 system? The Citric acid with sugar and water method?

[@chillwill2839]

Joe W, Any instructions, or, measurements for Citric Acid, sugar and water method? Also, how long would this method produce CO2?

[@joew6271]

If I did this again I would use the yeast method. Either way you are wasting loads of expensive sugar. You're better off getting something 100% guaranteed to work. Don't fuck around with your babies. That's all I can say.

[@joew6271]

Citric acid to sugar is 50/50. I usually use 2 Ltr. soda bottles and fill half way with water. = 1 liter

[@joew6271]

Yeast will help.

[@jediwookie9240]

Ive seen talk about the air pump in this method. Ive done fungi before and a small hole filled tightwith cotton is used for gas exchange, wondering about just doing that to replace air hose, but unsure if that will keep co2 from pushing out hose hole, thoughts?

[@elliottdebell7783]

Does it matter what type of yeast you use? I have fast acting only lasted two days. Maybe I didn’t add enough water?

[@19jake23]

Can more yeast than you recommend raise the CO2 production? How many ppm does this system generate? Please answer. Thank you Sir.

[@RyGuy-]

This is what TnB Naturals is. Sugar and yeast.

[@Bookin-nt4gd]

Thanks for your idea. So my question is does the heater go down in the mix, and if so how are you running the cord through the lid? Thank You

[@GanjajuanaMan]

My heater is completely submersible & very small. It does go down into the mix, I cut the cord then made a small hole in the bucket near the top. Then fed the cord through, then sealed that with silicon, then I put my cord back together. An easier solution for a heater is to use an incubator heating pad. They have temperature controls on them. Just put the bucket on top of it. I recommend that instead of what I did. My heater stays in the bucket at all times because of this. My lid only has air hoses, one going in & one going out. Thanks for watching.

[@user-ig7gx8ii6w]

At night, when the plant consumes oxygen, do we need to turn off the bucket?

[@crazyDIYguy]

I don't think you need much yeast at all, yeast is bacteria, the smallest amount should colonize and reproduce within a couple hours I believe. Also if you don't have yeast you can actually use a piece of bread too.

[@John-je7hi]

You're right. That's WAY too much yeast. That much would use up all the sugar within about a day and a half.

[@sterlincarter7335]

Can I use citric acid with this method? Also would it be smart to run a check valve for back siphon and I have a co2 diffuser already can I use that 2?

[@leoortega6370]

great vid homes, how long do you recomend using the generator for. im growing in a grow tent

[@kelador80]

He mentions if you put the same amount of material in the bucket it lasts 15-20 days. Have the pump working during lights on and for the entire life cycle.

[@chrisw5347]

Surely the little bit of Co2 it does produce will just get sucked out so quickly by your exhaust fan/aircon etc that it wont have much time to actually fill up the tent and be used by your plants?i could be completely wrong

[@cutznfadez4683]

CO2 is heavier than air so if you have enough CO2 pumping out and have the hose that's dispersing it up above your canopy it will fall and settle over your plants

[@chbronco]

Are you guys shutting of you filter exhaust fan and sealing up the tent for lights on time with this generator?

[@user-cz4hx9nw2t]

The cost to run the pump and heater/heatmat would probably be the same as a co2 tank...

[@beardedamerican8929]

Can you put the tube end on a fan that’s circulating the tent?

[@Richiebones]

Hey brother I have a closet grow about 9 plants would this make a difference in there ya think ?

[@Richiebones]

@@Real-Eyes_Realize_Real-Lies and we'll if it helps 4 plants in a 4x4 then 9 plants take up more room and those other 4 plants give off co2 them selves as well . Therefore 20 plants in a 4x4 would be great because they all give off co2 and your not going to produce so much co2 that your plabt are going to suck it all up and use it all up. It's about keeping what co2 you put in there In there that's the problem you end up with because it would have to be a air tight atmosphere and that sound easy but really isn't because you open it up to feed them to check on them to show your buddies your grow etc... 👍

[@mikek847]

Great video. My question is if I use the T fitting like you did to supply 2 rooms should the hoses from the tee be the same length even if the bucket is in or closer to one room than the other. Thanks

[@AS-dz1ww]

Is there a way to capture directly or transfer this into a CO2 paintball tank??

[@OneSierra]

Has anyone measured before/after PPM on this setup?

[@seanjackson8274]

no one has unfortunately from reading through i'm guessing it's as there is little enthusiasm for shelling out the price of one of those babies unless your getting a tank environment going maybe.
