I'm on my fourth grow when I started it was a gorilla grow 10/12 space 400 cool tube venting out the top of a Connex running an 8000 BTU stand along air conditioner blowing out the bottom.
It did well for me but I cannot control the smell because every thing was venting outside ,
Now I am running a fully self-contained room with a extra-large raptor Burning a1000 in the enclosed case with a 10 inch in line fan pumping fresh air from the outside threw it back out. Upgraded to a mini split 110 AC growing in sunshine 5 gallon bucket using advanced nutrients hobby addition , also upgraded to a CO2 regulator controller running 1500 ppm in the daylight , last run ran my temp up at 76 to 78 but product was very small and trench production was very low just flipped again and trying and run in the mid-80s to see if that would help but since I've upgraded my product has downgraded is there any special technics I need to watch for in a sealed grow
Thanks for any help always appreciated

If you are still pumping fresh air into the room then it is not sealed. Ide choose one or the other.
If u want a sealed room with co2 then use a carbon filter set on the ground with a fan. Or dont and since you are not venting outside the smell will be gone outside.

I only flush in the room after lights out, my intake fan is on a timer and my light cycle is 8 AM to 8 PM so my fan comes on at nine and periodically comes on through the night till about 6 AM to flush the room

hmmm that shouldnt mess with the co2 at all then. MAYBE, try not doing it to eliminate that as a variable. I think you should work on eliminating variables to try and narrow down the cause.

Running 1500 ppm everything I read says to run at this rate since I am not totally exhausting the room during the day to replenish natural air I wonder if running at a lower PPM might help me, was really disappointed last run using the CO2 because
It seemed to dry the bud out and it really lost its natural smell and feel ?

Need Higher temps with co2 or you"re wasting money.

Sealed i's best, if not exhaust at lights out

Yes I cranked it up to 86 and it starting it looks stressed crank it back down to 82 but only running at 700 ppm right now to see if that will help , wondering if it is possible to run too much CO2 at 1500 in a small room at 10 x 12 ?
