Default Diy co2 question

I made my 1st system a couple weeks ago and the bubble count is slowing. I used an ocean spry bottle w/ 2cup sugar, i think 1/2 tsp yeast and a pinch baking soda and almost fullof water maybe 6 in from top. Do i dump it or add 2 it& how much if so thanks?

I usually make a new batch every 2 weeks. I write the date on the bottle so I don't forget. You will definitely start to see diminished production after about 2 weeks, give or take a little bit pending the amount of yeast you use. I dump the old mixture, leaving just a little of it in the bottom of the jug to kind of help start the next batch. Seems to work pretty well for me.
