CO2 Fixing Foliar Spray

CO2, is a revolutionary calcium carbonate foliar spray proprietarily-derived from a natural occurring compound.

C02 utilizes a new form of nanotechnology which processes the compound to such a fine size that it is able to permeate the foliage of plants. Once inside the cell walls, CO2 is released as both calcium and usable carbon dioxide, increasing photosynthesis levels three-fold.

Directions of Use
Dilute 1 Tablespoon per gallon of water.
Spray 1 Gallon of Diluted CO2 per plant, applied foliar to both sides of the leaves, every 1-2 weeks.

Did you use it or just talk about using it?

I did not see a tread.....Did I miss it?

i just edited my post and added the link. being it is so new no one seems to have used it yet

I would love to see the research on this claim from their site.They offered none.
CalCarb eliminates the need for burners or CO2 tanks with only a simple application every 2 to 4 weeks.

sounds like to bullshit to me....... Surely this would already be used in food production on a large scale.. Sounds like these guys are trying to sell air - literally................

To rule out CO2 ie burners or tanks is a huge claim that would be hard press to prove correct. I use the exhale bag now and i can see that thing producing co2

Thats a huge claim to make. I can not see that really doing it.

OP: So what's the results? Did this product work for you?

Okay frosty- it's been two months- what's the verdict?

Seems peeps here are skeptical, I'm one of them; I do't see how calcium carbonate is going to become CO2; the chemical process is going the wrong way...

They were giving out free samples of this stuff the other day at the grow store. They told me it opens up the stomata more so that the plant can take in more Co2. They never said anything about it replacing burners or Co2 bottles. They do push a lot of the Extreme gardening stuff.

I haven’t used it yet but will once I get some other things straightened out.

 

[Shiplessocean]

I am using it and the plants def have seemed to like it.
