Hello IC land. I wanted to throw up here some honest results from a product I have seen many times but finally tried during my last indoor grow. The Exhale C02 Bag. Its pretty much a clear plastic bag filled with mushroom compost or some sort of compost. It has vents in the top and is supposed to deliver a shower of c02 to a 4x4 area for 90 days. I have been an indoor grow for years and for whatever reason I have never tried any sort of c02, just seems to complicated/dangerous for my taste.
This is what my setup looks like
4x4 Secret Jarden Mylar Grow tent
XXL 8 inch Hood air cooled with 6" fan
1000 HPS Hortilux Bulb
6 15 gallon Pots full of FFOF
I run mostly the same hybrid strains with a few variations. My problem had always been quantity and not quality. Out of that tent I usually average 2- 2.5 ounces of decent nugs per plant with a fair amount of fluff on the bottoms. This run it was 2 Grandoggys, 2 Blue City Diesels, and 2 Jack Herrer.
This time around I did everything the same, the only variation was the C02 bag. I hung it with a clip from one of my tent rafters in the corner of the room near my clip on fan and it only took 2 short weeks to start seeing results. In the early stages of flowering my plants were all big and green, I noticed the leaves pointing drastically upward and short node spacing as well. The C02 did not effect flowering time at all but the quality and and quantity got much better. My 6 plants yielded over 20 ounces of rock hard nugs with very little fluff.
I think we can all agree there is a lot of snake oil/kool aid sold by shop owners around the country. We have all fallen for one or two at times in our growing careers. This product is totally not one of them and will be a part of my growing regiment for years to come. Its cheep, effective during both stages of growth and provided results the first time. In my bigger rooms I have put 3-4 bags and seen great results using them over a bigger area. Since C02 is heaver that 02 is falls down, just use some fans to spread it around.
Happy Harvests!!!
