CO2 Boost

[drumin]

Hey ndnguy, I saw the link you posted in Gorilla's grow journal and I'm curious for more info on this from a user, which I assume you are one.

Seems like a LOT of :cash: :wow: for a bucket that only last 90 days. Surely there is a way for people to make the mixture themselves and save $100. Have you looked in the bucket or tried to figure out what's in it? :electric:

[ndnguy]

The link should take you to their site and they explain the process. You ever price the components to get a burner,more money than I ever could afford and I don't have no piolet light on to worry about. did I mention 30+ percent gain in yield. I'm sure there is easier ways to produce it for your grow this is fast efficient,works for me.

any chance you could post the link here? I can't seem to find it.

One of the testimonials in there said something about the buckets creating the gas from mushroom production... Hey ndnguy, you ever open the bucket to see what's in there?

One of the testimonials in there said something about the buckets creating the gas from mushroom production... Hey ndnguy, you ever open the bucket to see what's in there?Havn't yet but they say open it when your done and use it as high grade fertilizer, would hate to burn anything up would love to know any ratios they have on it as a fert tho.:) Will have to contact them to ask. Seeing the shelf life on it I would make sure I got the newest product tho ,one thing that that kinda makes me think. Does that mean after you start using or after it is made LOL They should be more clearer on that.:( Other than that it worked fine for me and I will continue to use it.;)

FAQS & Room Chart
Welcome to our FAQ and room chart page, here are some questions we seem to get asked a lot, if you have a question that is not listed on this page please feel free to contact us.

1. How does it work?

Co2Boost works from a combination of all-natural ingredients from the compost arena. Those ingredients are mixed and placed in the bucket where the Co2 is then naturally created. The pump is inserted into the bucket and our all-natural Co2 is released to your plants.

2. How much Co2 does it produce?

Our product can release anywhere from 5000-15000 ppms if your co2 monitor is placed DIRECTLY in front of the release valve. However, it's important to understand these levels decrease sufficiently once they are released into the ambient air. If your room is properly sealed, we can achieve optimum growing levels at 1200-1500ppms for sizes up to 10x10x10, if your growing area is larger than that we suggest multiple buckets.

3. How long does it last?

Our product lasts at least 60 days if used constantly. If you coordinate our product with a timer to coincide with your lights on/lights off phase, it will last you 75-90 days. We suggest one bucket per growing cycle to be safe.

4. Can I use the bucket temporarily and then store it for later use?

No, once the bucket is activated it has a maximum life of 90 days, after that we suggest purchasing a fresh bucket.

5. Does it smell?

No, even though it's a 100% organic product it is completely odorless.

6. Is it available in retail stores?

Yes! Please check our retail map to see if Co2Boost is available in your area. If it's not available ask your local retailer to carry Co2Boost to cut down on your shipping costs.

7. Do you carry different size buckets?

No, as of right now we carry one size bucket which is 14 inches high and 8 inches across.

8. What's the best way to distribute the Co2?

Each bucket comes with a small air hose that is attached to the pump. The best distribution method is to place this air hose directly over top of your plants to let the Co2 fall downwards onto the leaves and roots. This method is a nice way to dodge problems such as air leaks and ventilation. Inside your order you will find a pamphlet that includes a "set up and growing tips" section for more information.

9. Can too much Co2 be harmful to my plants or pets?

The answer is yes, but our product does not produce enough Co2 to be harmful in any reasonable sized growing areas. However, if you are growing in an area as small as a 2x2x2, make sure you put our bucket on a timer to minimize your Co2 output.

10. Are there any other ingredients or dangerous gases contained in the bucket?

No, our ingredients are 100% all-natural and harmless. As a matter of fact once your bucket has expired you can open the bucket and use the remaining ingredients as high grade fertilizer! .................................................. .I see i answered my own question on #4

I don't mean to put anyone out of business or anything but it seems to me that if the ingredients are all natural then anyone could do it themselves. I'm sure the ingredients have to be cheaper than $100 per bucket. I think it's the recipe that you really pay for.

If you find out how strong a fertilizer it is or what the npk and trace mineral percentages are let us know because that might make the cash easier to part with.
