Not really, I think CO2 enrichment is for closed spaces. I ventilate the tent a lot so I think I would have to Co2 enrich the whole apartment to get any effect and I don't want CO2 in my apartment.
If you home brew, you can vent the fermentor into the chamber for a bit of extra CO2, without worrying about drowning in the gas.

I think the amount of CO2 would be negligeble because I have a lot of air volume passing through the tent.
I have an airflow of 107 m2/hour in the tent.
That means I replace 1.4 times the tent volume every minute with fresh air.
I supply the plants with plenty of CO2 by having a lot of fresh air circulating through the tent.

Also I would become an alcoholic if I did brew..:confused:

I noticed some mold today!

The mold was only at the top of the leaf, right in the hole for the bamboo stick.
The mold only arrived at the stick most to the left, at the opposite side of the air extraction.
Maybe the air was stagnant at the left side of the top of the tent, maybe I had too much humidity, extraction air was 75% at most.
I did cut down the leaves and did lower the humidity to 65%.

For next curing I will improve air circulation, I got some ideas, one of them is to attach a hose at the top left side of the tent and pull air from the top left through the hose on the outside of the tent to the bottom left side of the tent and push the air back in at the bottom to create an air lift inside the tent.
I have ventilation holes for such a setup on both sides of the tent.
Another solution could be to spread out air extraction across the top of the tent.
Maybe I will do both.

Anyway, I did cut down the healthy leaves from the left stick and discarderd the top where the molded hole for the stick was. The loss was minimal.

I think the leaves are of good quality, feels a like soft leather and is a bit sticky.

Healthy leaves in the middle of the tent.

I removed the middle vein of the leaves and rolled the leaves to a roll and did cut the roll with a scissor. I rolled it again and did cut it with the scissor again.
I then mixed it quick in a blender while shaking it.
I finally got 40 gram premium pipe tobacco that I did put in an airtight box together with a wet RAW terracotta Hydrostone.

I will keep it for smoking because I have a lot of snus.
SUCCESS!

I have stored it in an airtight container and it is not totally dry, there is definitively some process going on. The fragrance have changed from nothing to floral, herbal and fruity.
It smokes very nice and I think it is getting stronger, from very mild to average.
It is such a pleasure to smoke homegrown.
I am very glad I managed to get through from seed to harvest to curing.

Conclusion:
Time and money well spent.
It is a joy to grow, cure and smoke my own tobacco.
I can recommend growing tobacco indoor.

Now I am waiting for the tobacco fruits to ripen. I may wait with growing new plants until spring and grow seedlings for a guerilla grow outdoor.
I have a lot of abandoned farming fields at walking distance and I am eager to grow some tobacco in our old and abandoned viking age farming fields.

This is an article that may or may not apply to what you are doing. It concerns early flowering and lighting. I ran across it in looking up other articles I have stored in my notes.
Thank you Knucklehead!

It is 50 year old experiment where they had lights on during nights and it delayed bloom during cold and overcast weather but not under warm and sunny weather if I understand correctly.

I don't know if it is applicable to my indoor grow, they used only 500 Lux light and I have around 50'000 Lux at 2 feet distance from the light.
