im not sure if this will work, well, im sure it will somewhat... but i dont know if ill see a noticeable difference in doing this, but i randomly thought about it while at the store today. i saw the cooler of dry ice and thought, i should try using some for CO2 and see what happens. so i bought a bag and here i am.
anyone ever do this before?
   
not sure if you can tell quite yet, i tried taking the best picture(s) i could, but its difficult. youll have to blow these up huge to get a decent look.

No, but I have treated a lizard humidifier as a CO2 dispenser. You mix sugar, warm water and bread yeast. I had a air pump to push air thru the mix out the humidifier. I would think it's more practical than this idea...HOWEVER if you can acquire dry ice for free, by all means do it! It melts so fast, even in the freezer.

So far they are looking male, but give them a few days I could be wrong.

well the dry ice was fun to play with. im sure its just a waste of money, just thought id have fun.
as for the sexxayness of the plants, i think its still waay too early to tell. im sure 2-3 weeks will be better. theyre only 3 weeks now.

I had thought about trying the dry ice before when I had heat issues. I figured it would provide co2 and cool the area down. Never got around to trying it though.
It looks like your plants are starting to show preflowers and the one on the right is looking male. You could probably see better with a magnifying glass. It's still a little to tell for sure though.

Oh.. I'd keep an eye on that area you took the pic of. It does look like there are some balls forming. It's hard to see with a picture though.
