First Co2 is not explosive. It is in every soda you drink and everytime you exhale, yep Co2. You need to figure out how much volume you are trying to fill. (LXWXH) Then use a Co2 calculator to determine your timer settings. Don't use the Co2 in the Veg stage or at night. It is also a good idea to off sync it with your exaust cycle.

dont have a timer, im not in veg stage, im avbout 40 days in flowering with buds as big as my wrist . i just dont knwo what to put the regulator on .

I can't answer your setting question, but thought I would let you know co2 is used in fire extinguishers, so you have nothing to worry about in terms of fire hazard.

keep in mind you cant really overfeed them co2. As already mentioned try to keep it off at night and while venting.

You absolutly can over feed them co2. The air we breath has about 300ppm of co2. Therefore you are tring to add 1200ppm to get 1500ppm. If you go over 2000 your plants die.

better question. should it flow out in a loud hiss or slow steady quiet flow? whats average time length and how often should i be co2'in . should i co2 when im curing and drying?

thanks man, had no idea, but never really raised it that much anyways as that shit gets expensive, not to mention gets to be a bit sketchy.
