CO2 is actually pretty important during veg, but DIY is pretty complicated to get it right. basically the idea is that yes, plants do use CO2 and benefit from it , but you need something like a 100L tank of DIY yeast and sugar recipe for a 1.2mx1.2 space , and if you have exhaust, maybe that's still not enough. At any time the yeast mixture can basically turn rotten and ruin everything in the surrounding area... it's sensitive, you might save money buying a system if it doesnt destroy your grow, know what I mean? anyway it probably will still not be enough even if you buy the bottles... Whatever you decide, i've linked some recipes in the comments. hope this helps ! 🚀
