CO2 without a meter

I have a room that is roughly 1000 cubic feet that is air cooled and ventilated with a 8" can fan combo and just got a tank and meter for adding CO2. I checked the faq on ventilation and saw nothing on CO2 thus my question. How many liters of CO2/minute should I set my regulator at eh? It is on a 15 minute timer that is on half the time when lights on and off the remainder.

thanks in advance.

From what I gather, when you say ventilated, you mean youre exchanging air in and out of the room? or youre simply cooling the light?
It is absolutely pointless to add co2 to a ventilated room. If adding co2, you want your room sealed, and only a couple of air exchanges per day.
Or youre simply wasting co2 and improving nothing.

You can buy a cheap $100 co2 controller on that auction site.
If your venting your room there's not much point.
