you don't have to use "synthetic" CO2 to grow, you will do quiet well without any extra CO2 in your grow as i do
but you have to make sure that their is a proper air exchange then in your grow since this will be your plants source for "natural" CO2 which it need to grow
no CO2 at all, no grow
so if you don't want any extra hassle with synthetic CO2 sources you have to ensure a proper ventilation of the grow as within the grow, so to set up fans in it to move the air around and feed it to your babies
