Given the size of your tent and the size of your extractor system you may not build enough extra co2 to assist the plant development - you may just pull it out of the tent too quickly. You are best running a closed loop system and running your extractor back into your tent and not venting outside the tent (if your temps and humidity allow), but if you cant and you wanna use CO2 you will need to allow it time to build in the closed space and be absorbed by your plants, before turning your extractor back on when temperature and rh exceed safe levels.

Also, get a CO2 meter if you do it - it is colourless and odourless and high ppm CO2 in the air you breath can get dangerous quickly.

I wouldnt worry so much about litre per min but. Temperture is something your going to need to keep on top of and its going to need to be high for your plants to really utilize the extrra co2

I wanted to ask at what rate(litres per min) do I run my co2 to fill up my tent and how do I time it so the plants use it up effectively? Thanks
