For some good cheap safe Co2 just shake up some yeast,sugar and water in a 2/3litre bottle,half full,and you'll be fine,remember to put it on a plate or a tray though as it will overflow because the lid must stay off,just in case you didn't know that

hold your hand over a candle for a bit and you'll get an oily residue on your fingers. I don't think that would be healthy for plants...

You know something I was thinking that the other day, I was thinking about how much orange light a candle puts out, but it could only be very supplemental to your standard lights but it could be worth some experimentation considering the CO2 exhaust(that is something I wasn't thinking about)

A bottle of yeast and sugar is much better and produces much more co2,candles also burn oxygen from your room which is not good unless you have intake outake fans and if you are suggesting candles then you probably dont have any fans at all

burning a candle will give off c02,[carbon dioxide] but it will also give off carbon monoxide wich will harm your plants,, and there is a lot moor poisons that are bad for them to,,,,

I would say that sounds like a bad idea. Beside the fire hazard. Your plants would get covered in that black soot and the carbon monoxide may sufficate them as dog mentions.

you could put a scented candle in your grow area to liven the mood. I am sure your trees would like to smell something nice also. just don't burn your house down in the process.
