The leds... wanting to stay with leds if i can.. seems i need 2 more to get what i need to maximize my room more.. im relitivy new on the leds.. i think i will just put back in the hps and run both leds.. just uses so much electricity.. along with an a.c. and dehumidifier running.. fans.. etc.. it sure adds up..You only got 7oz from a 1000 hps? Or 7oz from your leds?
Sweet setup... what lights are you running.. until I can invest in better leds.. I'm going to run my 1k hps along with the 2 leds.. run day temps around 79 and 75 at nite.. what RH do you keep the room at... day and nite....I was having phantom issues in my sealed room,started doing an air exchange 4 times a day and plants started to jump.
I see your using blurple lights so I doubt you would see any difference until you switch to a better led.cobs or quantum boards.
My flower room is basically like yours with a mini split all sealed up.ill pull around 5 to 6 lbs on the left 4x10 and around 3 on the right

Wish I could have said the same,,i was having weird issues in the beginning and did extensive research and it all pointed back to off gassing issues,the building was built to be completely sealed up and had 0 air leaks.weird drooping plants etc,plant roots need oxygen and it has to come in from somewhere unless there is an oxygen generator somewhere.air exchange 4 times a day for 5 minutes at a time immediately fixed my issues.7oz from 5 plants? Yikes, that's horrible. I'm a sealed room grower. Take a peak at the many flower threads I have posted. I have specific details posted. Even in 3g pots, you should net dry at least 1oz per gal minimum.
I never ever ever bring in fresh air. Ever. Sealed means that, sealed.

thanks man... i admit.. im struggling with the sealed room... i need to get it rite.. i see so much success with others and want to get it together.. asap.. im close.. heres what i am useing... and have at this time.... 1k hps... 2 leds that equal out to 1k each.. they do work great and have had success with them in the 2x4 tents.. 1 nice a.c. portable unit.. exhaust out heat with 6in fan.. 1. dehumidifer.. 1can with 8in fan to clean the air in room.. 2 fans to blow air.. co2 tank.. set at 1200ppm.. now my plan as of now is to run all 3 lites.. i usualy run 6 to 10 plants in 3 gallon pots with soil.. i set the temp for day at 82.. and 77 at nite.. RH is set at 60.. ph is 6.5 and run off is usually 6.2 give or take.. nuts are ff.. and i usualy dont go heavy on them... my main struggles are around weeks 4 and 5 of flower.. i just cant dial it in on a regular basis... i flush.. i watch my plants just idol and not much growth in that period.. then i start playin around with shit i probly shouldnt do.. but u feel somthin has to be off... uhh.. on and on.. dont get me wrong.. i do end up with nice harvest.. buds are nice.. plump.. but my yeilds are hurting... i need a nice flower cycle schedule for all 8 to9 weeks for a sealed room.. one i can follow step by step.. and have success with it from harvest to harvest... thanks for your help mam..7oz from 5 plants?

thanks so much for your input on this... my room is quite like yours.. not quite 10 x10 .. more like 8x8 .. all is sealed.. exterior door is not 100% sealed at bottom opening.. but works.. im going to open up a small exhaust opening with fan on low.. run it 5 times a day for 5 min.. see if it helps... i can always seal back up if needed.. do you happen to have a schedule to show me exactly your full flower cycle.. week to week.. that may help me get on board and get these ladies thriving... i feel like a beginner for god sakes... but im just missing something here... thanks again to everyones input...A good read,my sealed room has no windows,sealed light sockets and exterior door on the interior with double weather strip,mini split etc.

ok.. got it.. whats your temps and rh set at... maybe i can set mine close to yours..I doubt you need air exchange unless your 100 percent sealed,If your using central air with ducting,portable ac or you have air leaks under door i dont thing you need to exchange any air.
my strains at this time are cheese at 6weeks... and LA confidential at 3 weeks... its just gotta be somthin in the enviroment level thats happening...ok.. got it.. whats your temps and rh set at... maybe i can set mine close to yours..
thanks gentlemen for all your feedback... and i think im going to do just that... until i can understand more on this sealed room technology.. i will make due with what i do know with my regular set up... you guys know your shit for sure... im still learning all the time..1 gram per watt is decent for those lights.actual power draw from the wall not what they claim to replace.for co2 to be of much help you need your room temps to be 84f to 88f, at 80,82f you might as well shut down co2 and just use venting,natural air and co2 levels.
Im in soil .. and I do both.. seed and clones when I come across a strain I like well.. I like growing a variety through out the year.. and yes.. diffrent strains can cause issues for sure.. learned the hard way on that ... for now.. I' m back to my original set up and plants seem to be on track..when this batch is done.. I will make some changes in lighting .. a.c and RH are running a nice 79 degrees and 58%rh.. turned co2 off at this time and all is looking good.. once I can dial in sealed environment.. and better lighting for my space.. I will venture back to sealed room.. alot of good information on this issue from all who responded man... thanks guys...There are so many variables that can affect your yield. My guess is it is way more than the rooms seal. I have been growing for over 3 years (not that long) and it took a lot to surpass a gram a watt. You might need to consider not only tighter environmental controls but also doing some strain sorting. Journal everything you do each day along with the exact environmental conditions, ppm, ph and so on. I have to sort out my phenos from a given strain and then work hard for several cycles to prove I had selected the right genetic phenotype. It takes time, sometimes someone gets the right pheno right out of the shute but that's not typical. Strain and pheno sorting are super important. without careful selection your chances are hit and miss.
Are you going from seed or clone? Soil or Hydro?
