Title says it all really
as in like ppm per hour or how ever you would measure it

How much co2 does an average dope plant use

well.....hmmmmm.....let's try this......earth's atmosphere is 384.11 (http://co2now.org/) ........ I used co2 in my gro and can fully atest to the amazing growth, the tolerable elevated leve is a co2 concentration of I believe 1200-1500ppm. but it is important to remember, that just as an individual under artificial influence to grow their strength, you must make commensurate changes to food and water, as the plants when growing with boosters, need a boost of nutrition. My reality is it that it was not measured specifically, so that would have to be done to ascertain the true concentrations - but my results were superb. good luck with you efforts!

yes i know this already but if my room is filled with 1000 ppm how long will it take the plant to absorb all of this

Unfortunately you obviously cannot help me with this particular question but thankyou for your insight

He's saying that it can not be calculated based on the information you provided. There is no known math formula (to my knowledge)(although I'm sure one could come up with one.) Are you wanting a number to feel secure? 50 Minutes It will eat all of it up =)

No one could answer your question exactly because the consumption of co2 would be directly related to soooo many variables that are not consistent or mechanical-----co2 already in the air/co2 injected/rate of injection/rate of respiration of the plants/number of plants/size of plants/age of plants/health of plants/temp of medium/temp of air/humidity/ and on and on and on...ect...ect...---The guy wasn't trying to be rude just trying to let you know hard hard of a question that would be to answer correctly.

i keep my room at 1200 ppm at all times and my yields are monsters but i know what im doing 2

ok i see your point and after reading tahoe58 reply again i see this is also what he was getting at and i apologise for not reading it thouroughly the first time
Despite all the variables ect, or for examples sake lets say......
that there was a sealed room 4x5x5 and in it was 1 x average strain 50/50 sativa indica of average size with adequete lighting and with suitable humidity and temp there must be some ballpark figure some one can give me

Are you trying to fig out the dosing?

Yeah mate because i only using a timer to solenoid job not an expensive co2 controller

No problem set you timer to cycle for every fifteen minutes----start your timer to go on 1 hour after light on and shut off 1/2 hour before lights out----set your solenoid to .50 SCFH and you should be really close to 1000---1200 PPMS and also save on co2----you don't need co2 for the first hour(plants give off ample co2 to get them throe the first hour.)

no worries mate. its all good in the end, or it ain't the end yet. 
thanks herr doctor. my setup I believe runs similarly - regul;ated injection every so often. I too have not obtained actual ambient readings, but I can certainly atest to the improvement in yield with/without CO2. thanks for your help with this one walk on!
