I just found your other thread with more info. Now don't take my word on it because I don't use co2 or a sealed room, so take what I say with a pinch of salt.
Could be too much, there are a few threads about which say 1500ppm is a waste or too much, those measurements are usually used in full flower. It seems its common to turn it off during lights out too. I have no idea how to go about this.
My best guess would be its too high ppm for such small plants, this is based on looking at other threads, I cant link them because they are from other sites. I came across one thread which a guy was trying to prove that 1500 was wasteful and that above that it can damage the plants, he was saying above 2000 it can kill them. The one picture I found on that thread showed a plant in a further state of decay than yours but it did have similarities.
The thread I came across was called " don't use 1500ppm"
There is another thread which contradicts this by Dr Who, now that maybe the same doctor who that is on here so maybe worth shouting him out. If it is he seems to have written a great deal on co2 and would be a good source of info.
Like I say, not a user of co2 so don't take advice off me but use it to do more research. Goggle co2 lights off and best ppm for small plants.
@Dr. Who Is that you who wrote the article on co2? You may tell me to keep my mouth shut on things I don't have experience with, that's fair enough, but if it helps the OP solve the problem...
good luck finding the source of your problem ligrow
Edit, since they use oxygen in the night period maybe that is causing or contributing to the problem. sorry I cant give a definite answer. At least it gives you a few things to research
LOL, I get around.
1: NO GASSING IN VEG! = WASTE of money!
2: While if you push it with heavy lighting - 1500ppm is effective. (I like running at 1200 - 1300! The rate of effect by the CO2 drops off at a very fast rate and to make 1500ppm really effective you MUST have a base LUX lighting rate of 80,400 LUX)
3: Over 1500ppm is not effective enough to waste your money on (short answer)
Your plant looks like it has a cpl of micro nute defs.Good day guys,
Just got my new setup ready last night.
First time running mini spilt with co2 in sealed room.
Im using one 400 watt and a 600 watt MH veg right now.
One night after plants stress like this.
Any feedback would be appreciate

Add a good Kelp extract to your solution!
I like Age Old Kelp and Maxicrop Seaweed in that order, for my use.
Be sure you monitor your pH to 5.8 to 6.2.
Adjust to 5.8 and let it rise to 6.1 - 6.2 and adjust back down to 5.8 and repeat.
Do you know that when gassing at your level. You MUST have the RH at around 80% and the temps in the low 90's ???
If your not there - The gassing is not helping at all!
Did you know that turning DOWN the lighting intensity is making the gassing NOT effective?
You have a cumulative watt value of 1K - a 600 and a 400 right? Your using both? Attempting to gas at your level requires at LEAST the 600 at 100% to be at all effective! I don't gas with less then a 1K - ever!
Drop the gassing till bloom! Gassing in veg IS NOT COST to RETURN EFFECTIVE! (your wasting money)
Gas being high at night does not hurt the plant - The plant just won't "use" it at night! For CO2 to BE used by the plant, it must be photosynthisizing .
Sealed room and plant not using the gas is why it remains high.
You mention a "controller". WHAT controller?
