Default creating too much CO2 in my basement

Thanks for the tip on incandescent lights. I splurged and bought a 400W MH from a growing friend. He has it mounted in a 6 foot tall Rubbermaid tool cabinet with a switched fan. Boy, what a difference there is in the light intensity.

He also gave me a nutrient drip bag, like the kind used in the medical field. He said to fill it with vinegar and let it drip about once a second into a coffee can with baking soda. I guess this will produce enough CO2 for the area. Any thoughts on this Ron? Will it work? I'm concerned about creating too much CO2 in my basement and it harming my most precious living things, my 2 boys.....

co2 has to get pretty high to be toxic to people. With your drip method or even bottle co2 you don't have to worry but watch out with those co2 generators that burn gas in small spaces.
