they sell a small plug in Co2 machine that cost about as much as a Coleman stove $90 I think and that would be perfect for your size hut, they have them at my hydro shop but I forget the name of them, check and see what you can find for small 120v plug ins

Yes it will work position it securely above the grow and let a small fan waft CO2 over the garden. Be ever careful of fire! I did this waaaay back in da day! Peace! Bad...

Just picked up one co2 boost bucket and pump off eBay for $109, Thanks guys, I'd seen these before, they just slipped my mind today....

I'll save some time for ya, they do work! But average the cost of re-filling vs expense of a tank or generator in the long run they (tanks/generators) win, but smaller grows benefit greatly from using the bucket.
I mentioned using the Coleman type stove as during winter as heat may be needed or used. I should have added, in a bedroom or closet near sleeping areas I wouldn't advise using it as CO2 buildup could pose health issues!! Peace! Bad...:cool0044: PS: Dry ice placed in a can over the grow works too but also is more costly.

You can use a coleman stove or lantern to make CO2.
I have used regular sized kerosene heaters to make CO2 and
it worked great but also made too much heat even in the winter time.
So I knew I needed a smaller one. A coleman lantern might just be the right sized
and also much less ventilation issues but still be careful. I always had a quality carbon monoxide detector just in case.

The CO2boost mentioned above is completely different. Its some kind of fungal culture that gives off CO2 as its growing.

Hi Foxfarmfreak,

I was looking at that CO2 Boost Bucket and thinking of my Stand-Alone 5gal DWC Bucket. I put 1 and 1 together and came up with "3". That wasn't right so I double checked and it turns out "2" was the correct answer. Anyway...

How strong is the pump on that CO2 Boost Bucket? Is it strong enough to put a couple of air stones on it and get good output? I wonder if this would work as the primary pump for a Non-Recirculating-DWC Bucket...?

Do you think that this would pump out too much CO2? Would need more than one bucket for a complete cycle but...

Interesting

I am very interested in your purchase of a CO2 BUCKET. I have been wondering about those for years now. Please let us know if you notice any difference in growth.

Also, do you think adding more buckets (say 1 per 4x4 tray) would increase total co2 in the room more than just one bucket would? $109 really isn't too much to spend if the things work.

Will you need to turn off your outake fans when using this?
