PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT The Green Pad Green Pad CO2 Generators might be one of the most inexpensive and innovative ways to get the good gas to your plants and cuttings. The Green Pads were designed to produce enough CO2 for indoor gardens to be of significant benefit without the upfront expense of CO2 equipment. Green Pads hang inside your garden and absorb the room’s humidity (35 to 50 per cent) to power the pad’s natural chemical reaction, releasing carbon dioxide. To maintain higher PPMs use one to two Green Pads per 250 to 400 cubic feet of space per week. Leave unused pads in original packaging to last up to one year. Ask your favorite hydroponics shop to carry the Green Pad today.
