A MotherNature CO2 Generator kit is designed to operate in a sealed environment, such as a greenhouse or tent.
With the Generator, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be more than doubled for crops making them grow twice as fast and consume a lot more carbon dioxide. It has been proven that plants grown in a concentrated CO2 atmosphere grow faster, are able to withstand higher temperatures, and produce larger, better fruits and flowers.
CO2 Generators are packed ‘dry’, allowing you to easily store them without fear of degradation or any nuisance odours. This means the Generator must be activated before use. Activation is a very simple task.
When you’re ready to use the Generator simply open the Generator lid and add hot (not boiling) water at one of the following amounts (according to the size of your CO2 Generator):
5L - Provides increased CO2 Levels up to 800PPM in a 1.2m x 1.2m area
10L - Provides increased CO2 Levels up to 800PPM in a 2.4m x 2.4m area
5L (1.35 gal) Co2 Generator - add 1.25L (0.33 gal) of hot water to the Co2 Generator
10L (2.70 gal) Co2 Generator - add 2.5L (0.66 gal) of hot water to the Co2 Generator
Allow 24hrs before you use the CO2 Generator. This 24hr period is essential in order for the contents to properly activate. Replace Generator lid after adding water.
Ideally, the pump at the base of the Generator should be connected to a lighting timer/relay so that it is activated simultaneously with your lighting schedule. When your lights come on so does your CO2 Generator – in line with your plant’s natural needs, During ‘lights-off’ periods the Generator switches off and active CO2 producing bacteria come to life within it, re-energising the bucket.
Depending on usage, the specially formulated compost and natural bacteria in your Generator will last up to six months. Once the contents of the Generator are depleted you can simply empty the Generator out, clean it down, and drop in a MotherNature CO2 Refill.
