Pets to boost co2?

Anyone ever thought of or tried keeping some kind of easy to carefor pet or pets in the grow room to boost co2, like snakes or something? Anyone have an opinion on this? Is this completely dumb? Of course you have to make sure it's not an animal that eats marijuana!

 

well a pet that could stay in a grow room would give off very little co2 plus it would be kinda cruel, if you want more co2 just get the proper type of set up....

 

Well, if the animal lived naturally in a warm habitat, it wouldn't be that cruel, would it? I've never grown before, I'm just trying to figure out the optimum stuff to do when I decide to grow a pair and then grow some smoke. Any stealth box designs you would suggest?

 

Think of the marketing potential. White Widow Organic Super Snake Plus.

"It's organically grown with snakes man, to boost co2 and infuse the weed with the spirit of the serpent, man" woah. trippy!

 

LOL. Someone is bound to buy that package.

 

Yep. You know how stoners are!

 

Pets in the growroom: not a good idea.
Any animal(s) big enough to make a difference CO2-wise (like dogs and cats), would cause all kinds of problems.

Occasionally a tree frog will squeeze it's way into my grow room through the floor fresh-air intake grill. Since there's nothing in there for the little feller to eat, I toss him outside.

 

What about a cat or dog with nerves to his muscles slahed and it's nervous system plugged into a computer simulated reality of the animal's own choosing? Who knew fluffy was the "the One"?!

 

A tree sloth would be cool. They're so mellow.

 

Tree sloth?
Just what you need in the growroom, an large herbivore.

 

well, I am a newby! Don't forget.

let me write this down.

1. No large herbivores in the grow room. check!

 

Like i said NO animal that could fit into your grow room without being cruel wouldnt put off barely any co2, if you want more co2 just get the proper set up...and yes it would be cruel, leaveing the animal in there in the dark for 12 hours at a time during flowering and it would prolly never get out of its cage or out of the grow room because all you would have it for is co2 and not as a pet...

 

Well, I also raise veal!

 

Maybe you could exhaust the air from your veal sheds (if they have sheds) into your grow room, although you would probably get a lot of unwanted methane LOL.

Seriously though, animals should theoretically be able to produce enough CO2. I would not advocate this as I am against animal cruelty, but:

Considering that photosynthesising plant cells consume CO2 at a similar rate that respiring animal cells produce it. Then you would need to have approximately double the animal cells than plant cells in your grow room. If you have a plant that has a wet weight of say ~ 5 kg, then a 10 kg animal should have enough cells in its body to produce more CO2 than the plant is consuming.

Please dont attempt this, its just an idea!

 

Gets a pail...a garbage bag...a piece of hose..a bag of suger...a can of fruitjuice and some bakers yeast, oh and some water.
Place the garbage bag into the pail. Fill with water 3/4 full. Mix the fruitjuice into the water you can also add in old pieces of fruit. Add in say 1/2 bag of sugar then say 3 to 4 tablespoons of yeast. Stir up good.
Now take a piece of hose...close the garbage bag but make sure the piece of hose is stick out the top of the garbage bag (this acts as a airhole). Plce it by a fan thats blowing accross your plants. There you have cheap and effective C02.
A note when you hear the mixture stop bubbling is the time to add in more sugar and a little more yeast. After that stops bubbling make a new batch.
Cheap and very effective. Hope this helps ya. Peace.

 

I know you and a couple of friends could just live in the grow room, that should give you enought co2

 

snakes woudnt mind being in a growroom , but I'd mind them being there.
On itself , any "sensiive "animal wouldnt like it there.
My cat likes the warmth/ heat , but dislikes the sound of the fans....

how about a bucket of water with sugar and yeast.
Just throw out half the water every day , and add more water and sugar..
that's all.
And no crappy smell between the plants..cuz a dog would definately piss/**** up the plants containers..

 

ROFL @ RANGER...Maybe a huge cage with 20 guniepigs.... cedar chips, co-2, just have thier water on a timer too!

 

The yeast method won't work for CO2 production uless you have a sealed environment, a way to regulate it's production and a way to measure to see that you're getting enough or too much.

Excellent flo-through ventilation is much more cost-effective than CO2 augmentation.
