Co2 or not to Co2?

Hello - Would Co2 be practical and benefit a set-up such as a - DWC with three (3) 300w 9U Feltz 2700K/6500K dual spectrum CFL's, in a 2'WX5'LX8'T, 8 - 16 plant, ventilated closet room? Is the room to small for Co2? I don't mind the effort but don't want to completely waste money & time either. Would using a Co2 emiting Bag(s) nearly equal Co2 by a bottle? Any input is sure welcomed. Thank you very much,

IMHO it would not be efficient with your setup because you are already running a dwc system that will get you more yield than versus me per plant because I am a soil grower with small time frame of vegetation. The time and effort on your part would not warrant co2 implementation. However, if you do choose to utilize co2 here are facts about it 1) co2 is readily used by stomata at temperatures exceeding 90 degrees 2) be wise to have a co2 monitor because if you surpass the saturation point you will destroy your foliage 3) Co2 use is best in a closed system.

2) also have the side effect that beside destroying your foliage it can also kill you !!! silent with out you smelling or feeling it specially if you sleep near your grow room, just be careful co2 is not to be played with

c02 is not carbon MONOxide, it is carbon DIOxide. It can kill you by suffocation, But it takes EXTREMELY large dose and you would know to get out before you suffocated. carbon Monoxide makes you sleepy and feels like the flu.

Thanks for the input folks. After researching Co2, how to use it, and the needed equippment, I started shopping. I'm certainly glad I didn't follow through with it, sounds like a lot of time & money would have been wasted. Thank you very much for the insight.
