Question about gas exchange in jars
    #22111965 - 08/19/15 01:29 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Hello guys, yesterday I began to wonder about the methods used in creating gas exchange ports on the lids of the jars most here use.

Usually a single hole is put on the lid and covered with some sort of filter. I get that part. What I don't get, is how does this provide gas exchange if mycellium breaths out Carbon dioxide?

CO2 is heavier than air, so should having the gas exchange port on the top of the jar render it useless, since the CO2 would pool up inside the jar and displace any oxygen?:shrug:

Can anyone explain this to me?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Mods feel free to move this to a proper forum if you have to.

co2 is heavier then air when it's pure but in our situation it mixes with the air and rides heat currents, much like in the real world, if c02 sank and didnt' rise we would be dead
