Also, to anyone who is wondering you can use the bags to start a new medium. Storage totes of the stuff hooked up to a fan/co2 controller and you'd have a never ending supply of co2.
would u have to colonize them in sterile conditions? what medium would be best? would it be like a monotub of CO2 goodness?Also, to anyone who is wondering you can use the bags to start a new medium.

Yes, you would have to treat it like you were playing with any kind of Fungi you were trying to isolate. Clean box and the works but its totally possible. The only thing you would need to make sure of is that it had a constant pressure out and a good deal/filter in or else it'd risk contamination. That is the purpose of those one way patches on the actual bags.would u have to colonize them in sterile conditions? what medium would be best? would it be like a monotub of CO2 goodness?
Yes, you just have to do it in sterile conditions and inoculate a new medium (look up preferred mediums for mycelium production).I'm not getting what you mean by this. can you please expand on this? Are you saying you can start a fresh supply of co2 from the old bags?
Dont waste your time on this product. We got 2 Exhale bags and stuck them in a 2x4 tent for 24 hours, all zipped up tight with no plants or anything in the tent. Just an empty tent with a CO2 controller measuring the amount of Co2 these things give off.
The Co2 never made it past 500ppm.... and that was in a tiny sealed tent, with nothing inside of it. If plants were in there, they'd probably have suffocated due to a lack of Co2.
Horrible product!!!
These bags totally work.. If you researched them properly before you did your test you would know these bags work best in cycle based on the fact that they absorb the oxygen admitted by the plants you would have in your grow room/tent and release co2 as a waste product in the same way human lungs do in that when we breath we absorb oxygen and breath back out co2 . So the more oxygen in the environment they are in the more efficiently the bags work.
So I am not surprised that when you did your test with these bags in a zipped up tent with no plants so no constant oxygen source they barely made a difference.
I am about to try these bags for the first time. I have been growing quite a long time and I have actually never used CO2 (I know, crazy right?). I use several 4x4 tents and was going to try a few bags per each. Now do I still run my same ventilation as normal? I run 2 x 4 inch vortex fans in one and a 6 inch in the other and I keep my exhaust going 24 hours. I feel it is much more effective in odor control, rather than that first 15 minutes of when you fire it up after lights off and it tends to smell. I have monster reflectors (27x36) so should it be hung above or below the reflector?
I found this site which talks about growing with CFL lights.

Interesting idea. May as well just have a mushroom grow op in the room and pull two different harvests.
I just watched a video on youtube of a guy using 2 bags in a 4x4 room with the camera on the c02 reader the whole time and it climbed over 1200 ppm in just minutes.Dont waste your time on this product.
