I am bumping this question because I have the same one.
I am also a home brewer (distiller actually) and use sugar/water/turbo yeast to make my "shine" wash in small batches. The wash batches take 5-7 days and put off a lot of co2 converting the sugar water to 20% ABV.
I have a 3'x3'x6' milar grow tent and 5 babies (hoping for 1-2 females) Right now that co2 is being "wasted" just venting to the atmosphere in the fermenting room. I want to move a small fermenter into the tent, but don't know when it will do the most good.

Like when to start and when to stop ?

I dont know if this is true or not but I copied and paste the following:

Some Cannabis growers have reported to High Times that high CO2 levels in the grow room near harvest time lower potency. It may be a good idea to turn off CO2 2 weeks before cannabis harvesting.

Is this True, anybody?

I think the levels should just be reduced.leave it around 500 ppm.

Co2 should be applied through out all the growth stages...

haha thats funny..

and co2 is always beneficial to speed up photosynthesis.. too much can kill your plants, so can too little..

and no co2 does not lower potency, but growers tend to get the temps from 85 to 90 with co2 because it allows for greater respiration, thus faster growth and higher yields.. thc is known to begin degrading at 90 degrees which in turn lowers the potency..

USE GOOGLE

just a thought
