It's from roll it up. Com jus doesn't want to post, and yeah seems to go bk md forth but he ends up supplementing co2, as it gets eaten In an hour after lights onSorry

I ws writing the same I notice no pics there back anything up. A picture speaks a thousand words.Yeah I have seen that. 50% organic makeup.... that huge plus an 8x8 room with 200-300gal of soil.... I can see that but its also not all soil respiration but plant respiration.
I would be curious to see the size, number and health of those plants.
Looking at the links in that post.... this is the same guy???? Same vid links and claims then it proves he can't do it. But here he has been doing so for years successfully? Yest his posts also contradict this.I ws writing the same I notice no pics there back anything up. A picture speaks a thousand words.
I don't know enough to have a good opinion. I just couldn't help but start researching once I started reading this
Now your talking sense... organic carbon and 60% not carbon in the soil... big difference but now do the math on the actual per hr contribution of co2 from organic carbon (not literally) you would need to break down such a huge amount of organics to produce enough co2 to sustain adequate co2 levels in any normal sealed room. its almost impossible to procude enough to feed a decent amount of plants... unless doing it specifically for certain species seperate like exhale bags or yeast sugar etc. Or putting 1 plant in 300 gal of super hot soil."Approximately 65% of the carbon in organic material is given off as carbon dioxide due to microbial respiration." 50:11
So don't believe your thread over at riu? That's your thread... even your avatars are the same. Links you provided are the same...Impossible huh?
Because you say so?
1 plant in 300 gallons? Don't believe everything you read at that Marxist shithole at rollitup, or did you read it wrong.
Hot soil? with a cup Soybean meal ? hmmm sure
I use 40 gallon fabric pots which is about typical for soil (slightly large)
They are independent gases cannot block eachother out but co2 produced will tell you roughly how much o2 has been consumed thus giving a good idea of when the soil is anaerobic.
Not sure what ya mean? They are independent of eachother adding one does not displace the other... add more co2 does not mean there is less oxygen. They are also used up independently so one may be depleted but that does not increase the others concentration. Now you can displace gasses by removing one. But if no gases are exchanged in a sealed room or environment like soil then one has no effect on the otherThey both take up space so yes they can block each other.

Very dependent on the soil density. If this were to actually happen it would become anaerobic and the microbes would die. Aerobic microbes need o2 and if the soil is not aerated well enough then the microbes and plants will deplete the o2 and they will die.I think you are thinking of a sealed room with gases mixed together in a homogenous gaseous solution. I am talking about an air pocket in the soil which if c02 is released it can fill that space pushing the oxygen rich air out of that space. But this is not the point, it was just an extreme example of how much co2 can be released by decomposing carbon.
For the record, I appreciate your contributions.Ok sorry but gonna jump out of this convo and add organics back to my list of avoidance along with ph perfect nutrients. I should prob add LEDs to it also lol.
Sorry @Dirtbag for the mess I made here.

How much co2 produced is dependent on respiration rates and population. Basically the more o2 rich the media the better the rate of respiration and health of the microbes.
Of course many other factors like salinity, ph and temp affect that too.
But if a soil is displacing o2 you probably not gonna grow anything in it including aerobic microbes since they need o2 to reapire and produce co2

I think we're all on team and you're a captain taking us more towards .
Application and volume is often not taken into consideration in these discussions and it's great to have someone insisting relative statistics.
Earth and mini-Earth-replica are very much not the same.
Yup totally makes sense bro... just don't feel we can quite make a soil that will adequately supply a room full of plants. Maybe someday that changes.Yeah, remember this example was a row of hot compost. That's exactly the worry that it would become anaerobic and microbes would die, that's why they are monitoring it. And yes you wouldn't be growing anything in it at this stage. Like I said, an extreme example.
Sounds doable to me. That i can see.Tailor-made compost room that supplies a grow room?
Specific media, microbe, fungi, and plant root ecology that's geared toward CO2 production?
Pump it into a closed grow room?
You'd think I just smoked a fatty... but, alas, my pipe dreams require no pipe.
