You would have to do some serious math to figure out c02 release with a timer. A monitor will measure it in ppms and hopefully have a photocell which turns it off and on with the lights. If you don't have a constant steady ppm the whole light cycle and then off with the lights, your just spinning your wheels. you got the equipment to do it right, why not do it right?

Set your controller to 1300-1500 ppm CO2. Start using it about a week after the 12/12 flip. Once you have all your gear hooked up to the controller it should regulate the room within the parameters you set. Run the CO2 tubes either over the canopy, or run the tube to the back of a oscillating fan. Make sure the fan is above the canopy, cause CO2 is heavier than than air.
