Dual hose ac queastions

I have a Whynter 14s which is a dual hose ac. I have the intake hose set and the exhaust also set up. Supposedly the ac should need air inside the tent but when it kicks on it causes negative pressure. So I set an exhale bag up to see if I’m fact it was pulling air from inside the tent and also outside. It is. So is there a way to rig the unit to where it doesn’t grab inside air and send it outside the tent or am I just gonna have to run without co2 amd deal with it? Thanks in advance

Interesting, it should be pulling air over the evaporator coil thru the filter on the back of the unit. The air for the condenser coil should be to & from the hoses.

You would have to take it apart and figure out what needs sealed up. There is a thread here somewhere showing a portable being taken apart and sealed up in key spots.

God bless my minisplits.
Unfortunately space restrictions in my grow area doesn’t allow a mini split to be installed as I have no way of getting the pipe to the outside without 15m of pipe. If I could install one myself it would have been fine but don’t want hvac techs around my grow

Is there anyway you can supply co2 to the room the tent sits in? In other words fill the room the tent sits in and open a "breather" vent on the tent that will allow for co2 circulation throughout your tent and the room it is in.

That would work if you have an exhaust from tent with the intake coming from the room it sits in and the exhaust putting air back into the room it sits in
