I see you are in early veg in soil. Plants should not need anything as far as additional nutrients right now. With CO2 you can probably push your ppm to the 1200-1500 range in flower. Veg I wouldn't go much over 700ppm even with co2.

Some good info here...

The CO2 fertilizer effect. Article covers contemporary research about yield increases in under lights growing with CO2 enrichment. Optimum ppm and growth.

Personally I run my Co2 controller for my Liquid Propane burner set to 1500 PPM and it usually keeps it between 1500-1800 PPM lights on. You are going to want to use a co2 controller with your tank & regulator so it actually turns it on & off when needed. Also make sure not to run your regulator at too high of a setting without an inline heater or you can risk cracking the regulator and having a tank rocket flying around in your grow. Keep the regulator below 7 I believe to be safe and not risk that thing freezing and cracking. I have a buddy thats grow got jacked up by a 50 lb tank letting loose due to a frozen regulator.
In my experience you can't overdose Co2 as long as you stay below 2000 PPM but you can under dose it. Anything under 800 PPM seems to have a visible impact on plants like sad droopy leaves and stems where with good co2 levels you will see the ladies perk up real nice and sharp like they are AT ATTENTION.
My friend was growing for 2 years without co2 and told me he doesn't know how he did without. He runs 1200 PPM setpoint. To each their own.
