How do you supply enough Co2 for 2 plants?

My room is 7ft high 5 ft long and 2 feet wide. I have my plants lined up right next to each other, only 2. I cut a whole in the wall and placed the fan there pushing fresh air into the room. Is this enough ventilation to supply 2 plants with the proper amount of Co2? I keep my room at 50% humidity and 72-75 degrees F.

I also planted my 2 plants in 3 gallon buckets with drilled holes for drainage. I water once a week and feed with GROW BIG by fox farms. My soil is also fox farms OCEAN FOREST. I spray my plants with carbonated water once or twice a day and my plants remain 6-7 inches tall after a month and dark green leaves which are pointing to the light.

PLEASE HELP WITH ANY TIPS. ALSO, IS 6-7 INCHES TALL GOOD FOR 4 WEEKS OF GROWING UNDER A 4 FT FLOURESCENT LIGHT?

What size is your fan (in CFM)?
Your room is 7x5x2= 70 cubic feet. You'll want to change the air at least every 5 minutes so you'll need a fan rated at least 350 CFM. The problem for most closet-type grows isn't a lack of CO2, it's an excess of heat which shouldn't be a problem with fluorescents (if you have a fan and proper in/out ventilation) unless you have a bunch.

How many watts are your lights?

What is the carbonated water for?

Carbonated water is misted over the plants and i got this technique from a very popular grow guide on youtube. He said carbonated water contained Co2 so spraying the plants with it was very helpful. My fan is just a regular rotating fan, its at the top of my room blowing in fresh air and im about to put another one at the bottom to push the stale air out.I dont think $100-300 fans are necessary for 2 plants.

Nobody seems to know about spraying carbonated water so i did some research and found the video. http://www.youtube.com/user/M0t0cr#p/f/15/C9ycbGevXsc go ahead and skip to 8:20.

I have a 4ft flourescent but im not sure how many lights. Its been growing for 4 weeks in 2 days and it stands about 6 inches tall. Im going to install a 400w HPS light in a week or 2.

WHEN SHOULD I START FLOWERING MY PLANTS?

You can start flowering whenever you want. They'll just be larger if you veg them longer, but keep in mind that most plants will double in size once they're flowering. You have plenty of room and large enough pots to let them get as big as you want (within reason). If you're not in a hurry, I'd suggest waiting until you get your hps and veg with that for a week or two, you'll get some serious growth compared to the fluorescents (depending on wattage). Pics?

I use carbonated water too, I mist them in the morning, noon and about two hours before the lights go off. Using a CO2 tank and all the paraphanelia thats goes with it gets kinda expensive for small grows I figure I will use the little money I have for lights and nutrients.

if you want to add some co2 cheep and easy. put a cup of sugar and yeast in a gallon jug add water as stated on yeast package.if your plant is as small as you make it out to be you shouldn't be adding nutes yet. you could be stunting there groth by spraying them with the carbonated water. water them only when the soil is dry. to check soil stick your finger in the soil down to the first or second joint of your finger if the soil is still moist wate to water. you should keep your flros 1-3 inches from your plants. posting pics are the best to get help. a picture is worth a thousand words.

If 2 people say its true along with an experienced grower that has 100,000+ views on a grow video i think im gonna take my chances with stunting the growth by spraying carbonated water.
