Go to U-tube and watch the vid I GROW CHRONIC it will show u a way to set up what I would think to be a perfect setup for what u have going. It will cost u a ton of money though. There are homemade methods as well, just google it

Read this will answer co2 question Growing cannabis ( marijuana ) with C02

The basic CO2 tank system looks like this:
20 lb tank $99
Regulator $149
Timer or controller $10-125
Fill up $15-20
Worst case = $395 for CO2 tank setup synced to a exhaust fan with a thermostat.

I've never personally grown with CO2, but I've helped out on a couple grows that have. I'll say this: if you're going with a tank-based system, you will want *TWO* tanks. It makes life a lot easier to be able to refill the tank not in use when convenient, and then have it ready to swap when the other runs dry.

I bought a nice co2 setup with cycle timer etc and a brand new alum tank for $350 at a local hydro store...I'm scouring craigslist actually looking for a few spare tanks=)...

I have pics of the cycle timer and such in my grow journal below

try with out co2. it can only complicate thing for a new grower. get a few grows under you belt and then try some co2.

there are regulator kits available. they have the timer included as well as the hosing to loop around your growing area. i have this KIT. works well and i'm impressed with the results. however, i wouldn't recommend it for first, second or 3rd time grower. but if you have the cash, go for it.
