will burning unscented candles increase co2?

[beancollector]

The guy at the grow store said just use unscented candles to increase the co2, would it make a significant increase? Or would I be better off getting the exhale co2 bags?

No... but it will increase carbon monoxide and also put a thin film of unburnt oil in the air.

Keep it Clean!

there is no better way of supplying carbon dioxide to a marijuana grow room than using CO2 generator but lighting an unscented candle can help. it's actually a chemical process. Co2 is emitted/produced as long as the candle is burning.

A grow is enough of a fire hazard by itself with all the electrical shit going on. Adding the unpredictable open flames of candles into the mix is just asking for it.

You don't want this... really. Not even something clean like beeswax.

Keep it Clean!
p.s. The CO2 emitted by candles is pretty insignificant.

ladies like the scented candles. lol. don't bother. you can try fermenting stuff or vinegar an baking soda drip if ya don't mind the stink

I heard a story that gypsy once rigged up a grow room to vent the air from his bedroom over the plants, this would surely work. So while he slept he was exhaling co2. Otherwise get in there and do some kind of vigorous work, maybe with the girlfriend!
