Is it possible to add co2 to your outdoor grow?

Say by creating a transparent box to hold it in?
i read that you should only add c02 when the lights are on (indoor). . .my plants are no bigger then 4 feet so it wouldn't be hard to make somethin to go over them.
i just bought a paintball gun and was wonderin if i rigged it to let out 5 or ten ounces durin the day would i see an increase in bud size now that we are gettin late in the summer. and if this would work how many times would this be possible to do before harvest time (etc. once a week ,twice, everyday?)
thanks for the help!

Climate Change: What it is ... (http://epa.gov/climatechange/kids/gw.html)

"Earth has warmed by about 1ºF over the past 100 years. But why? And how? Well, scientists are not exactly sure. The Earth could be getting warmer on its own, but many of the world's leading climate scientists think that things people do are helping to make the Earth warmer.

Greenhouse Effect, Climate Change,
and Global Warming

The Greenhouse Effect: Scientists are sure about the greenhouse effect. They know that greenhouse gases make the Earth warmer by trapping energy in the atmosphere...."

"Green·house Gas ['grEn-"haus 'gas]. Any gas that absorbs infra-red radiation in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), halogenated fluorocarbons (HCFCs) , ozone (O3), perfluorinated carbons (PFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)."

If you still need help figuring this out, let me know.

It is going to do that naturally outdoors. If you use a green house, vent it.
