Hey Im new to growing, I have a closet set up with CFLs, 2 plants in soil that are 24 days old and 2 days into flowering. I wanted to introduce a home made CO2 blend. I read about a mix of 1 tbs yeast, 2 tbs sugar in 1L of water.
First of all is setting up CO2 worth the trouble even though my plants seem healthy already and is the mix I explained right?
Thanks

IMO co2 isn't worth the trouble unless absolutely everything else in the grow room is the best it can be. so no, not worth it under cfl's. and co2 mixtures i think only work if its an airtight room (no exhaust), or else it'll all just get sucked out anyways.

If your still under CFLS, ave up and switch to HPS, and if it'd cause heat problems, then you needed better ventilation than to worry about the co2 anyway

what if you are using a 400w switchable ballast, dro systems, and you have a decent room setup. is it worth it? yeasting and bubble water seems like it wouldnt supply enough co2, while it seems like co2 makes the difference for some growers. the co2 controllers and tanks can be expensive and cumbersome. from my research a good co2 system will cost roughly ~$500-$600 with a good co2 regulator (not mentioning refilling the tank).

in my opinion, unless you're air conditioning instead of frequent venting, you're just throwing money down the drain. Everytime you vent your room, the CO2 goes back to normal, and has to be recharged. Unless the temps are perfect without constantly switching the air in the room...CO2 is pointless.

i don't think i'd go so far as to say all co2 is pointless. but homemade co2 is definitely pointless. if you have a tank then it is most definitely worth it (as long as the rest of your room is up to par). the only problem is the startup costs, once you have a tank then refills are usually pretty cheap.

how much does a tank cost? around $30 to fill each time right....

depends on the size of the tank and where you get it, i suppse... but i definitely wouldn't pay more than $30 for a refill.
