Water for my plants?

[DynoMiTe420]

Would it be a good idea to take some dry ice and put it in a bottle with water and connect a small aquarium hose to the cap and the insert that into my plants water for a hydroponic system? I was thinking about this becasue plants love CO2 ,so could this be a way of getting it to the plants and I know I wouldn't have to keep it in for long if its being absorbed by the roots.

no it wouldn't.
plants absorb co2 through their leaves, not their roots.
if you are growing indoor you can introduce co2 into the grow space to promote more vigorous veg growth, but its a delicate operation and needs to be set up with a fair degree of skill and a good understanding of ppm rates etc.
If growing weed is new for you then soil is a great place to start. Buy some good seeds (dr chronic) and don't get sucked in by all the diff strains (its hard not to..). If you want to get smashed and just lay on the sofa (night time) look for a good tryed and tested indica strain, maybe chronic or skunk1. If you want to get a buzzy sort of high and be able to do stuff (daytime)then look for a mostly sativa strain (jack herer or kali mist). do your homework but keep it simple and go with something thats a classic rather than all the hypey strains.
growing in soil is really easy. Get a good brand name soil (john innes) and make sure it drains well. big pots, not too wet.
are you growing indoor or outdoor?

If it's indoor, I got to say that even my first grow was hydro, and it's really way easier in my opinion. Soil is kind of a bitch to grow in because you have to soak it over and over again to get the right nutrient/ppm/acidity level. It gets very annoying. With hydro, just drain the water and restart. Plus you have less chance of insects invading, and more control over the plant itself. A simple bubble bucket should cost you very little to construct, and if you use a plastic storage chest, you can grow 4-5 plants on in same 10-gallon jug. As for the CO2, I've experimented with both the CO2 canisters and the dry ice.
Iwillgetthere is right, don't put it in the roots, but instead put a bowl of warm water into your grow closet and add a few chips of dry ice periodically. I can't say that I noticed huge growth boosts, but I'm sure the little guys appreciated it.

Good luck, and happy growing.

If a plant lacks oxygen in the root zone, even if it is properly asphyxiation wet: indeed a cause of death of the applicant aquatic plants is due to excessive amounts of water for bathing. The best approach to a hydroponic system is the alternative to substrates. The solution is pumped through the vessels more powerful pump dive. The movement creates a perfect solution in oxygenation as well as prevent the formation of algae and mold.
