Technically your plant needs CO2 to survive. But I have completed several grow ops without the use of CO2.

You will be fine. You need; Light, Air, Water, Nutrients, Pathogen Control (hydro ops), and patience.

yup what he said... a cheap method is to get a bottle of perrier water and a spray bottle spray when lights go out.

yer they need c02 when lights are on,air has a ppm of about 300, so fans for lots of air flow is good.

I saw that sign that is in your avatar. It is either south east Wisconsin or north east Illinois. I use to laugh every time we went past it. I used to drive from Milwaukee to Detroit every couple months.

if your question is do you need to add co2 to your grow, the answer is probably not. if your grow room has enough air coming in through an open door or air intake you are ok. if you want to get a higher yield or if your room is sealed then you add co2.

dry ice is not a stable source of Co2. u cant regulate how much Co2 is released also i dont know about ur place but around here dry ice is a lil expensive. yeast sugar n water if u think ur plant does need it. for vent if any thing try to do a make shift exhaust near ur light just to get heat out.
