What exactly put your minds to work to develop this product?
What was the original intention?
Do you feel this could be of benefit to other crops? What about outdoor farms like @Farmer_Dan has?
What sort of volume and frequency does this need to be sprayed to be effective on a sqft or acre basis.
Yes it is drinkable.
Cool, so a large scale Soda Stream?
Good question that I would also like to know the answer to!
There aren’t any bubbles so it would be like flat soda
OUr minds started thinking about dissolving CO2 gases into water about six years ago viar algae growth to enhance carbon sequestration. Algae was the original intention. It is a benefit to all photosynthetic crops indoors and outdoors.
Thanks for THAT answer! I look forward to tasting it lol
Good to know what to expect!
Plants typically take in CO2 to produce starch and sucrose during photosynthesis. By injecting CO2 into the plant in this fashion, how are you not overstimulating the production of these?
Yes re CO2 into water. No re how to apply it to plants. We have patented this process.
Interesting that it is flat.
In your trials in the pdf, what were the volume and frequency of the applications to reach those gains?
Have you thought about using the same technology to saturate water with oxygen for roots?
That is exactly what we are doing so the additional starches and carbons produce by plants exposed to dissolved CO2 can allow for more plant plant biomass growth. Atmosphere at 400 PPM of CO2 is not the saturation point of any plant. We can go to 2000 PPM of dissolved CO2 at 1 atmosphere, a level last in the earth’s atmosphere last enjoyed by plants in the Jurassic Era of Earth history.
Yes we have.
The amount of carbon dioxide that can be dissolved in water is described by Henry’s Law. Water is chilled, optimally to just above freezing, in order to permit the maximum amount of carbon dioxide to dissolve in it. Higher gas pressure and lower temperature cause more gas to dissolve in the liquid. When the temperature is raised or the pressure is reduced (as happens when a container of carbonated water is opened), carbon dioxide escapes from the solution, in the form of bubbles. This is known as effervescence. If done in certain ratios, no effervescence.
Our carbonated water is more acidic and yes - with no CO2 bubbles up to 2000 PPM it appears flat versus carbonated beverages that are injected up to 7000 PPM.
Ahhh the good ole Jurassic, where the plants were huge and over-stimulated by CO2 and the lizards were all massive and out to kill!
Crazy that you are able to achieve that with a foliar spray!
Do you find there is a difference in saturation rates into the plant depending on the RH in the area? Eg - AZ vs.FL
