in that case ill give you actual advise, 2 300w lights in a 4' tall box is pointless, when you run a co2 system your box should be sealed air tight but youyr diagram has exhaust fans in it, you need to have some form of air flow into your root zone so they dont suffocate(roots intake o2) in a 4' high system a scrog net will be pointless you have to account for pot size, and lights clearance, (leds should be at least 12" from canopy which gives you very little room to grow

I wasnt very detailed in this sorry i am new this been a member for awhile but never really posted.

I understand that dwc needs an airstone for o2 for roots

Ok and height would 6 ft be a more practical?

I didnt put this in as well from my understanding while running co2 you can allow your tempts to be higher? Also i have the exhaust to help deal with tempts if it did get really bad 85+ also wanted to get a fan/co2 control to make sure my exhaust wouldnt run while co2 was on.

Also have an intake fan bc you need to replace old are with new?

you can run higher temps with co2, but only if its sealed, you run leds to keep the temps down, if you are going to run c02 you you should run hid lighting , it will save you money and have better yield, if you do run led then your temps shouldn't get high enough to need it, i think you have a basic idea of what you want to do, just some misinformation , or you are trying too hard and overthinking it, just check out some grow journals, see what others are doing and ask them questions about their working systems, for a first grow i always recommend running bag seed in good quality soil and using lucas formula (k.i.s.s.) method, get a grow under your belt on the cheap and then grow your system from there, its easy to grow cannabis, but with all the different styles and information out there it becomes harder than it is for first timers, just remember the more components to your grow area the more that can go wrong, until you have an understanding on how to fix the little issues that pop up the best thing to do is avoid them altogether

I had planed on sealing with a rubber gasket seal all around the door and caulking around any ventilation/exhaust to make it a sealed room getting only what i provide. I was very nervous about the leds i was looking at bc someone said they ran alot hotter than expected but i dint think of the fact that with co2 you can run a hotter room just an oversite lol. I am choosing to run leds bc of the fact that the actual watts used to light placement on canopy seems to be equivalant to hid with with out using as much power. I will be running bag seeds first but i have ordered some sort of skunk or kush. Also i was planing on usong the lucas formula!! =) will be lst then scrog thanks for the info man. The more the better

No worries, we are all here to help, which is why I am telling you before you drop too much coin on blurple leds, please check out the diy cob lighting section here, tons of us have bought the blurples and now have them hanging in a veg tent or boxed up in the garage, they work nice to bring out some trics, but for growth rate and pure yield you are gonna want something else, if it must be led then go cob or prepare to be let down
