How Much CO2 Is Sufficient?

I want to treat my girl with some CO2. I know all the ppm scales but don´t want to invest in a CO2-meter.
My growspace is roughly 52cm X 94cm X 150cm (0,73m3) and I want to add a 1.5L yeast CO2 generator, feeding it into the in-tent fan.
Will this be enough/too much?

Is your room/tent sealed? Cause if not it's pretty much pointless.

As it is, household CO2 levels are usually quite a bit higher than outdoors. For example an office can get to 2000-3000ppm. It's why we get tired during closed room meetings.

My bedroom sits around 1100-1300ppm in the morning if my door has been closed. If I have a few ppl over my room can get to 1800ppm or up.

Outside is roughly 400ppm. The higher CO2 levels indoor are already a benefit when it comes to growing.

If I had my Spartan set at 1200ppm in a 20x30, and we had 4 workers in there, the ppm's would come up to 1800-1900.

Zero co2 is fine. All the plant is doing with co2 is expelling the o2 and keeping the c. Plants can get c in much easier ways. The goal of growing is hydro-carbons, carbo-hydrates. You can provide the carbo with the hydrate. Contrary to what the pot growing experts tell you, pot easily uptakes carbon through the roots.

But how will they sell you their meters, burners, gas bottles and regulators?
