I run a sealed room and equipment will vary based on the size.I want to build a sealed grow room with a fan and a carbon filter(1500cfm) which recirculates the air inside the room. An ac unit will send air from the outside into the room.
I don't want to vent outside because I am growing in a hot climate and i want to save energy. My question is do I need to have a co2 generator or is that unnecessary and how do I counter the positive energy, as in how do i vent some of the air out?
I always used to grow in cold climates so this is a new issue for me.
If you have outside air coming in, then you will need the old air some way to be removed, sort of like blowing up a balloon. You will either need an out-of-tent vent OR a recycling system with the carbon filters to control smell. A totally sealed room is great if you have the equipment and setup to do it and make it worthwhile, but it is also much more difficult trying to regulate fluctuating temps and humidity levels, like was mentioned in an earlier post.I want to build a sealed grow room with a fan and a carbon filter(1500cfm) which recirculates the air inside the room.

I grow in a sealed room and i can say having a sealed room it's a lot more of a PITA but can be more beneficial once you get everything dialed in with Co2. Being new i would go dirt/coco media with a vented room. That said I have never grown indoor dirt/coco but i can say a sealed room in hydro takes a lot of adjusting and tinkering to get it right but like i said there are some really nice benefits once you do.I am planning on setting up a 10 light grow room.
At first I was thinking of doing a sealed system with an ac and the carbon filter circulating the air inside the room instead of venting outside.
My second option is just to use an intake fan with a hepa filter and to vent the carbon filter outside and to use massive air exchange to keep the room cool and grow at night.
Discretion is not an issues since it is a legal grow.
So which one of the 2 ideas you think would work better?
