You're not very familiar with the concept of "fire hazard," are you, bud?
CO2 from a candle?

indoor air quality is generally poor and full of co2, I bought a meter and all it said was thatt I alredy have excess co2. You would need a huge forest to deplete co2

You should be using fans indoors anyway, if only to keep bugs away.

fans keep mold and mildew at bay, I think the plants probably "breathe"better too though

you may be surprised how much co2 you already have in a living space. A single human puts out tons. More than a 5 lb garden can use before it going to atmospheric standards that put bill nye in a tizzy about elevated levels.

Well, I mean, I dunno about you, but I exhale CO2, so I just meditate in front of my plants for a few hours a day.

I use a pack of dogs running on a treadmill to supplement the co2

I had to comment, some of the comments are nuts:
Candles are awesome. one parrafin candle produces 11 grams of co2 per hour. If you burn 4, that is over 1 lb of co2 per 12 hour bloom day, and 1.5 lbs of co2 per 18 hour veg day. Some of the comments on the safety are funny. No, don't put them in a tent, but plenty of gardens are able to accommodate 4 candles. If really worried about safety, place/float candles in water... There you go, you've just added 1 lb to 1.5 lbs of co2 to your garden per day... and an extra 50 lumens

A pilot light from a gas heater is your best bet as the gas isn't toxic but produces co2 a candle Ive actually used to they have co2 candles as well but nothing beats the co2 tanks and some co2 bags or mushrooms grown in your space to to be honest I'd use co2 bags and get some bottles as well and a meter to test your levels a mate of mine uses a bucket with sugar water and wine yeast last afew weeks as it ferments you could just start brewing in your space in a sense to making a mash with barley ect
