I wouldn't stay in your tent for extended periods if the PPM is above 1000 but its probably not really dangerous until it reaches 2500+. The plant is only going to be able to use only so much of the CO2 and will eventually plateau as it equalizes to the light and warter uptake.
You probably only need around 1000ppm but with those bags, I'm not sure how easy it is to control.

The standard requirement for most strands is 400ppm or above. If you are trying to increase with tanks just keep in mind that 400-1000ppm is normal for humans, 1500 is when people will start to complain of drowsiness, once you cross the 2000ppm mark is when it starts becoming harmful and potentially fatal as it climbs.

Ppm under 10,000 is considered safe thats 1%. 1000-3000 i wouldn't even bat an eye.above 5% 50,000ppm you should be using ppe and limiting exposure. None the less I would use caution over 10,000ppm

The average basement is like 800-1100ppm.

Now CO carbon monoxide is much different.
