Indoors, you are Mother Nature. Adding CO2 can increase growth in plants, but if you don't balance this with the other environmental factors, you will lose that which you hope to gain.

Humidity: 70-80%; Temperature: 70-80˚; Root zone and stock tank 70-80˚ Nutrient tank temperatures below 70º really slows down plant growth and the rooting of cuttings.

Because plants grow faster with CO2, it’s easy to outgrow your lights. For tall or vineing plants or cuttings, at 6 inches tall, the lighting cycle should be cut to 12 hours and bloom formulas started. This will result in a more desirable plant, compact and strong.

If using a CO2 generator, make sure to vent the room on a cycle that provides sufficient fresh air. As the generator uses up the oxygen in the room, the gas burns incompletely, and can result in damaged plants. Insufficient oxygen can extinguish the flame in the generator.

A CO2 monitor/controller, though somewhat costly saves a lot of money on wasted CO2. This device will add CO2 only when required and keep the level at your predetermined enrichment value throughout the daylight period.
