hi folks ,can any1 help me locate these excellofizz co2 pucks as im having real problems locating them in the uk.
also any opinions on them will be appreciatted thanks.
co2 in ur g/room is around 500-650ppm put these tabs in and will release up2 1000+ ppm for up2 8 hours(so im informed)which can enhance your grow as lack of co2 can make your grow slow down and stunt them

but enriching them with co2 can help increase yield quality of smoke etc.

cheers neldo but allready seen it and there lies my problem ,its the amount you need to use (approx 50 tabs per grow) and as you can imagine will need 2 get a boat load

costing not only price for tabs then shipping etc,to much hassle. these tabs must be over here in the uk but where?????
thanks for your reply...............................peace..............................
maybe try the manufacturer

Not much experience growing, but from the beer brewing side....

Home brewers often use CO2 tanks to carbonate a keg rather than going for secondary fermentation to do that. Small CO2 tank and a regulator went for $50 or so on the used market as I recall, and another $20 to refill it. I would imagine a small tank opened up real low would do the trick for a few weeks. Mostly depends on how low you can get it.

Just a thought I'm throwing out. Dunno if it's feasible.

i can't remember where i read about it but you can make Co2 in a plastic bottle and i think it's Bi-carb soda and maybe lemon juice or something...gives off wnough carbon dioxide for a couple of weeks if i remember correctly....might be worth googlin...

Around my parts dry ice is pretty common AND cheap...is it possible to put a couple of chunks in a bowl and let it dissipate?

Yes, you can get a hose to a fish tank with a regulator to drip VINEGAR on top of some BAKING SODA. I'd give the tablets a go though. I like that idea.
