 Upping the carbon availability in a grow room.

Hey y'all. I've been looking into a few different methods of carbonating my plants a little bit more aggressively.
One that I've been looking into is using dry ice (frozen CO2) and letting it sit in the grow room, as CO2 sublimates straight from it's solid form into a gas which would then be readily available to my ladies. The biggest drawback on this seems to be the price. I've heard reports of this method running up to £20 daily (eich).
Another method I've observed is corking a wine bottle halfway full of water with sugar and yeast mixed in and drilling a small hole in the top. I've been told that this could leave the grow room smelling a bit like shit, and isn't as reliable, as you never know how long the sugar/yeast could last you.
Lastly, I'm just wondering, would adding a bit of honey to my watering suffice? Say 1 tablespoon of honey per liter of water or so? I don't know if there's a point at which it would be too much, or if it would work at all.
Any advice is greatly appreciated

Ok, so co2 supplementation is completely unnecessary. As long as you have enough FAE, that does just as well as co2 supplementation. If you do not have the means to do at least 3 times the CFM in your grow area, then I would recommend either a propane burner or a co2 tank setup.

They do not create near enough co2 for any decent sized grow.
