Too much carbon dioxide?

Well, we brew up this really ghetto home made liquor made from some turbo yeast shit. It pretty much goes like CRAZY for 3 days and then is done.
I figure why not put it in my closet along side my plants? Why let all the carbon dioxide go to waste?
But this stuff REALLY goes like crazy. It might sound stupid, but can plants get too much carbon dioxide?
Also, when is it most beneficial to them? My girl is about 2 weeks from the chop. Thanks.

Any thing over 1500 ppm I don't think the plants can use but, I don't think it will have any ill effect. To be honest I really don't have any experience with supplementing co2 so this is just based on what I have read.

If theres extra, I'm OK with that as long as it doesn't harm them. I figured not, but it was worth asking.
And I wouldn't have bothered, but I'm brewing this stuff up anyway so why not

Is the liquor it produces pretty good? 3 days isn't a bad wait for some home brewed booze. I hope everything goes well for you and you have a bountiful harvest .

Oh, the liquor is terrible lol. BUT, 26+ liters for $15 isn't so bad. We got a carbon filter this time, so hopefully it'll take the nasty flavor out.

carbon dioxide can be used to kill all life, including plants.
I hear 1500 ppm is optimal for plants, more up until ~2000 ppms doesn't hurt for sure(unless i'm ill informed), not sure when it becomes detrimental.

Mmmm. Someday I'll brew something up that isn't just alcoholic sugar water.
I have some mead going, but I don't have the patience for this alcohol thing just yet.
