No they need ether fresh air or co2, if you had a sealed room with no co2 in about 1/2 hour they would deplete all the co2 and then have nothing to breath

Far as I know the only co2 my bitches get is when i go in the room and breathe and they seem to be doin fine. I don't put too much stock in that co2 shit unless you're dealing with a sizeable grow.

you have to be getting fresh air in there some how! on average normal air has 300ppm if it were 0ppm and completly sealed you would have dead bitches

it depends on how big your room is, if you got a big room might take more if its smaller could be a few min. I was just throwing a number out there
but why would you want to do this

my outside temps get over 100F here in the summer and its humid and muggy as hell.

soooo what im thaking about doing is take a swap cooler and put a chiller on it and close loop it that way it should take some of the humidity out of the outside air that i will be pulling in right? and have my carbon filter vent that air out. yes i have an ac but fuck that loud ass thing it makes to much noise and smell starts to leak out when its running.

right now all i have is my 8" carbon fan filter running, i have cool tubes on the way and a 6" inline fan for the 4 600 hps lights i have, but i need to cool the room more other than just that. any thoughts anyone? help me think of somthing.

Sorry - it don't work that way! Swamp coolers only work, well, in a "Low Humidity" situation. They work by evaporating water into the air that is passing through them, making the air more humid - but cooler!

Swamp coolers work great here in the South West, we often have single digit humidity in the Summer. For anybody that can use one, they also operate on about 1/4 as much electricity as an A.C.

thats stupid to think a plant will deplete the air that fast. Have you ever spent the night in your bedroom with the window closed and no central ac? Did you die? Your issue in a sealed room will be heat and especially humidity. If I spend any time in a garden I start sweating. And of course you cant run a truly sealed room without co2 but they wont die in as short of time as was stated.

Id consider some new led lights, expensive-yes, as good as hps- probably not. But they will run cool and your plants will transpire less.
