just go with good air circulation. I think co2 is overated. i have had some of my better grows without co2. right now my co2 is at around 470 and the buds are coming along. i have had friends that swear by co2 that say wow when they see buds that plain and simply have great air ventilation. here is a thought if you think you want to use co2 without a tank and a controller.
you want to use lalvin ec-1118 also known as champagne yeast. its tolerance level is 18% alcohol. you might want to add a teaspoon of yeast nutrient per gallon of water and 2.50 lbs of sugar. that should get your alcohol up around 16%. that way you can add part of that mixture to the next mixture because your yeast are still alive and has greatly multiplied from the time you pitched the yeast in the 1st batch. if you don't want that hassle throw in 3lbs of sugar per gallon of water and let it roll and start over by pitching another packet of yeast. midwest homebrew supplies have the yeast at .80 per pack and 1.25 for the yeast nutrient. you might also want to get a 3 gallon glass carboy, a bung and airlock. they also sell grow supplies under midwest hydroponics.
