If you wanted to go cheaper but still wanted to give your plants Co2 there is a better way than that IMO.
I have heard this from multiple growers that if you buy the carbonated water(bubbly water) and put it in a sprayer and spray your plants once - three times a day (depending how your plants react to it) it is a cheap version of a Co2 system.

Do some more research on WHY co2 is good for your plants and how it works.. First of all, it's not going to be effective unless your plants have MORE light than they can use. C02 only works as a growth accelerent if there's ample light to activate it within the plant. Second, how do you plan to keep the Co2 around your plants? Turning your ventalation off?? Can't do that concidering you need to add Co2 during lights on cycle. Unless you have a way to sustain any amount of c02 around the plants, i wouldn't bother.
You need to find out the amount you would need for optimal intake. Multiply L x W x H fo ryour grow area space. Take that # and multiply it by .002. The total represents the number of square feet of gas required to reach optimum range.
Example:
13' x 18' x 12' is 2808 cu.ft. x .002 = 5.6 cubic feet of gas (Co2) needed (recommended).
Dry Ice works, Co2 carts work, but a Co2 tank with emitter/regulater is the easiest.
As I always say, do your research before you jump in. Dont just look in forums, go and read or look online for info. It makes you a better grower!
I hope this helped a little

Using 12 gram cartridges to produce co2?
ya its a pressured bottle which contains 15cm3 of pure co2 which = 12 grams in weight when under pressure
For CO2 (a gas) you need the cubic feet, but whatever.
Long story short, will it help your plants? Yes.
Is it worth your time and effort to do it? Debatable.
If I had time on my hands and nothing else to do with those cartridges, would I let them loose in there? Yes.

i popped off about 10 a day during flowering a few years back. just turned off the intake/exhaust fans for half an hour, left the fan on cooling the lights and blasted away. it was my only other alternative, as my propane co2generator was on the fritz..
seemed to help a bit....
