Fugo_88,
Hope you dont mind me posting your pm in the forum...its good to let everybody see, thats what sharing is about.
ok to answer your question:
Dont worry 2 cup is equal to exactly how much sugar. It does not matter so much.
How I do it? Very simple...I did not use cups. I added sugar bit by bit and taste it. When it turned very sweet (now dont ask me what is defined as very sweet!) that means the sugar is close to saturation and I stop adding. The other way way is to add until no more sugar dissolve. The amount of sugar in the water will affect the duration of co2 production, that all.
The important thing is the yeast added. That will affect the rate of co2 produced. When I first started DIY I added 2 teaspoon of yeast and a lot of bubbles (4 bubbles/s) came out....too much. 1/2 teaspoon is good which will give you about 1 bubble/ 3 s. It works very well for me. My plants grew so well after 2 months that I dont need it Co2 anymore.
Give it a shake every few days to mix the yeast.
Use 1/2 filled water cause the sugar will add about 1/4 volume to it. You should get bubbles within 3 hours.
Hope this helps.
