Perhaps if all the carboys were in their own small tent/ container and then exhausted into the flower tent periodically. You would capture all of it instead of loss to the surrounding environment. Experiment with it, tried just sugar water and yeast one grow, tubes from bottles to plants. IDK if it made a real difference, but was still some fire buds. What types do you have fermenting??
Even if the CO2 does nothing, you'll have loads of Mead so why not try it :-)
All seriousness though you should probably use a good filter if you are going to cycle in co2 from an organic living source like yeast/beer/wine/mead/alcohol/ compost. While fungi are good for plant soil they arent so good for plant leaves and that co2 released from mead may contain some FUNGI and that stuff growing on your plant leaves and flowers wouldnt be so much fun, guy.MOAR MEAD!!!!!!
That's Awesome!! I don't see to many know the proper names for the variations of mead. My wife's fav was the Pomegranate Clover melomel I made like 8 yrs ago. Hhhmm I may have to see what I have on hand and pull out a few carboys, haven't made some in a few years. Got all my Grandpa's brewing equipment now, wanted to try my hand at a braggot.I like the tent idea. I’m still figuring out the best way to do this. I’m sure the fan I’m using captures all the CO2, but it’s so strong I think it may push the CO2 right out the top of the grow tent before it’s fully utilized, idk.
I have a few different kinds of mead brewing down there and I expect to add some more this weekend. There’s a fruit mead or "melomel" made with blueberry and oranges, a "pyment" made with honey and grape juice (my wife's favorite) and three different recipes of maple mead or "acerglyn". My intention is to make a tincture with some of the bud I'm growing and then add it to the mead before bottling. If all goes well, I'll have some cannabis maple mead to give out as presents next Christmas.
Jimmy Hendrix would be salivating. Good work. Any issues with the co2 or mold problems so far? My only concern with diy co2 is the mold issue as I myself have had that problem in the past in an aquarium setting. The catfish and chili rasboras loved to eat it so it wasnt a concern really but, in a grow tent it could get out of control and is something you want to watch out for religiously.Just over four weeks in the flower tent. The CO2 certainly hasn’t hurt them any. Oh and I misspoke above, this is Purple Haze, not Northern Lights.

So the final word on this grow is, after everything was harvested, hung to dry and all usable bud cut, trimmed and put into jars to cure for three weeks, I have 23.4oz From a 4x4ft grow. I’m pretty happy with that!

Edit: checking out the buds, they still have a ways to go before they’re really dry, so I imagine I’ll lose maybe some ounces in water, but looking forward to making tincture from some of this and adding it to the mead in hopes of a very merry Christmas.
Is that more, less, or about the same as your previous grows without the Mead CO2 supplementation. Im considering doing something similar to this in the future.So the final word on this grow is, after everything was harvested, hung to dry and all usable bud cut, trimmed and put into jars to cure for three weeks, I have 23.4oz From a 4x4ft grow.
