 Releasing propane during flowering

i have a stupid friend that is showing me the ropes on my first grow.
hes done a few indoor grows before and a handful of outdoor grows
but he is a dumbass
so i dont know if the info he gives me is correct or not
when i do search for something online and cant find a trace of anyone talking about his methods ever
he attributes it to "well kept secrets"
well we have a grow going that is about to flower
and he had 2 small camping size containers of propane
i asked him what they are for thinking that they may be for a co2 generator
and he said that during the later stages of flowering he releases the gas directly in the GR and it does wonders for the plant
so
is he speaking truth or should i take one of those tanks and beat him over the head with it
this guy is not technologically inclined whatsoever
doesnt know what an icon is or a desktop for that reason
and doesnt have any trust in these here fancy interweb
i just want to make sure i dont pick up any retard habits

One thing to consider is that there really aren't any "secrets" in growing plants. Science has solved quite a few mysteries about their inner workings, so most people pretty much know how it all goes down. And yes, Cannabis is a plant just like any other, there's nothing crazy like banana peels or something that's great for cannabis and useless for other plants, it's still just a damn plant. With that said;
Question #1) What the flying fuck is propane supposed to do for a plant? Plants need CO2 and dinitrogenous gas for respiration. Propane is C3H8. Nothing there of benefit.
Question #2) How are you supposed to have an entire room in your house full of propane gas PLUS electronics, lightbulbs and spinning motors on your fans and expect it to NOT blow your house to kingdom come?

you know what i did in english class? I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.

thats what i figured
thanks for the input
this guy gets advice from somebody then takes it as fact with no supporting research or experimentation using control groups
somebody probably told him to use propane to generate co2 but hes so dumb that he forgot about the co2 part
thanks for the help

I think your friend saw pictures of a propane co2 generator and did not read the details. Someone else asked me once about this, because they saw it in a magazine. I asked for his reference and he shows me a picture of a grow room with tanks of propane. If he would have read the article he would have known that the propane was being burnt off on a burner to produce co2. Not just releasing gas into the room 
This guy is an accident waiting to happen! Like Harry said up there, why the hell would you release flammable gas into a hot room full of electronics! Grab that propane tank and beat him over the head like you suggested! House gonna go BOOM if he keeps doing that!!

I've heard of meth labs blowing up, but never a grow room.
He might just be the first! (your friend, not you)

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

sounds like something from trailer park boys, something ricky would do., wiat not even he is that dumb.
tell your buddy to get a tank of co2 and crack that muog open during flowering, and see what happens,and co2 enrichment is only really effecive in the start to almost he end, around 14-10 days left most folks quite the co2 as it casues the plants to not be as stinky and prolongs ripening.and is a general waste cuzz the plants arent photosynthesizing that much at the end were they need 1200+ ppm or co2. ambient levals are fine the last week and a half to two weeks left in a cycle.
