Also, I have to take heat into account. My flower is a 7x7x7 tent inside a closed room with the veg nearby in a open closet. So until I get a better set up it gets into the 90s in there or worse, unless I crank up the AC. Does a generator create a significant amount of heat?

Also, why is a controller necessary, if I'm home often, and I get a monitor? Why would it be so awful to be slightly inconsistent with the PPM? If its 900ppm one day and 1400 the next... I don't see how that's the end of the world? Just means slightly less development for one day, right? It's not detrimental other than that is it?

Thanks

Timed release will work. You can very easily calculate what itakes to fill the room to your desired level. There are even online calculators to help set it up. What you don't know is how long it takes for your plants to suck it all up. My full flower room can drop my ppms from 1000 to under 100 in about 20 minutes when I turn off the co2.

I think the point here is that a well designed ventalation system will perform as well as a poorly executed co2 system.
