well you can just keep it below 1000 ppm it will be fine less than 1% in the air is fine but over 2000 ppm it will make you feel drunk and dizzy and at 3000 ppm it will hurt plants too and make you pass out.

co2 can be toxic to you and your plants @ large amounts so be carefull.. but depending on the method of making you should be able to meter it..
im using cfls and i was gonna go for the baking soda and vinagar but i got a good question which would be better 6 42 watt cfls or a 250 watt hps from home depot and i got these ballasts from a premade grow box had the sylvania 55watt t5 flourous like 5 of them would those cfl ballasts work for hps

That should be very doable. Don't worry about killing yourself with vinegar and baking soda, it won't produce enough to harm you.
CFL ballasts?
yea i mean there two in this pre made grow box but there hooked up together to run 5 55watt cfls i took it apart but i dont wanna try to run hps without pro help idk if any light bulb can hook up to any ballast
oh ok but do you think the hps bulbs from home depot would work better than cfls for flowering
see thats the thing it doesnt say anything about growing and i cant find it online but they carry from 70 to i think 1000 watt hps but never seen anybody grow with it they preferr grolux if i could buy that grolux i would get it
