It isn't really necessary and you probably won't see much of a difference in growth. If you decide to upgrade your light and get a bunch more plants, I'd say it would be well worth it to give it a try.

The big thing is that you need enough light to warrant using the CO2, you want around 2wpg before considering CO2. ^_^[hr width='90%']"in any case, chocolate is hardly a rare comodity." said Chaos.
