if its a sealed room, i would think it would help. you will need to get some every day or two to make it worth while, though...
what are the dimensions of your grow? how many plants?
check out MRWAGS' grow cabinet...he used CO2 in his and you can see the benefits...
best of luck to you both!!

Boy, that's a tuff one....know I've seen that ? asked before, but don't remember the answer.....I do know if you use it you'll want to put it above your canopy, as CO2 is heavier than air and will fall, so if you keep it at floor level you'll lose the effectiveness.....I think anyway.....I'll dig around and see what I can find out.

As for many closet sized spaces, just breathe, simple , but you produce a great level of co2 with every breath. Just brush yer teeth first, lol! Some inexpensive co2 alternatives are; growing mushrooms,hmmm? brewingbeer or makingwine, keeping small pets like hamsters, rabbits etc, (they're poop is usable too!) dry ice can be placed above the plant area in small quantities, buy at least 5 lbs and crack it, wrap the extra in newspaper tight to keep for a few days in the freezer, adding a lil each day, keep checking with Ebay for a co2 setup, tanks are 75 to 125 and used work just as well. Some are as low as 50 bucks used(160-250 new)h or low dispertion types, low for small rooms, but a high will work there too, so I'd opt for the high as you may wish to expand one day.(The tanks used work well but as always check out any other equipment!!) So anyone needing a workout, just do it in the plant room with the lites on! lol
would suggest if you place it above, you secure it very well so it does not fall into your lights or canopy....probaly went without saying, but safety first....stank

I use a small igloo cooler. Put Dry Ice in cooler wrapped in foil insulation.
Use small vent tube out of top to feed to top of cab. Completely seal Ice chest with duct tape. I just drilled small hole in top and inserted vent hose. Sealed with silicon. Dry ice should last about 3-4 days.
DO NOT FORGET VENT

hey med user, I also use dry ice I believe that I read [eds indoor book] that 1 pound of dry ice would be good for 220 sqft per day.
