Carbon Dioxide Supplementation Product with Delayed Activation Control

摘要

A consumer product for supplementing carbon dioxide is provided with delayed activation control in the form of a clamp. A bag, having a top and a bottom seal and a filter, contains a mycelial mass prepared under sterile laboratory conditions using aseptic techniques. The bag may be selectively clamped at various locations on its exterior. During manufacturing, the mycelial mass is sealed away from the air exchange portal by the clamp. The manipulation delays the optimized carbon dioxide generation and extends the product shelf-life significantly. The fungi are utilized on-demand by removal of the clamp and carbon dioxide flows from the product. Consumers will place the product near indoor plants. The precise clamping method delays the expiration of the product for storage and shipping optimization. The clamp is relocated to the top of the bag in order to provide a hanger for the carbon dioxide generator above plant level.

主权项

1. A consumer product to harness and selectively supply carbon dioxide to an indoor growing environment comprising:
a container having a bottom and an air exchange portal, a mycelial mass,
the mycelial mass being placed in the container under aseptic laboratory conditions and a top seal applied to the container, and an external sealing mechanism,
the external sealing mechanism being applied above the mycelial mass and below the air exchange portal, whereafter an end user removes the external sealing mechanism and places the product in the indoor growing environment.
