Get a 1l bottle, cut the neck off. Fill it with water, add 1tbs dry yeast and 2tbs sugar and mix. put a plate under it in case it fizzles and runs over. Change every 2 weeks.

This trick works great for small spaces and produces enough co2 for 3-4 big (1,5m) plants. But be careful, co2 can rise the temp by several degrees! I recommend getting 2 fans for best air exchange, 1 bigger for intake, 1 smaller for outtake. This seems to perfectly balance heat and humidity even with co2 rich air.

I use it and it works great. Just don't forget, you don't want the exhaust on all the time, otherwise the CO2 will go right out the door. You want the plants to sit in as much CO2 as possible (up to 1300 PPM) and then flush the entire system of air in about 30 seconds. For instance, in my room I have Exhaust off for 30 min, on for 1 minute, off for 30 minutes, on for 1 min.......etc.

Plants do not use CO2 when the lights are off, so the timing doesn't matter during dark hours.
