So do I need to add a Co2 system to my room then? Do you have a system running in your room? Please forgive my ignorance on this stuff, I'm learnin.

yes, although i ran my sealed room without a co2 generator for close to two years before i got it and never noticed a problem. just going in there and working for a while will take ppm to 2000. check my thread, my 3stages of flower. my room is very sealed, 24 tubes of silicon and 5 layers of rubber paint in a 6x10 flower room.

I have a 12x9 ft room with 7x9 of it for flowering and the other for clone/veg, all sealed up but the entry door. i have a carbon filter exhausted light cooling system that pulls air from the far corner of the flower room to outside @ up to 420cfm, it pulls air INTO the rooms constantly and the filtered smell goes undetected outside, the key is the smell never enters the rest of the house becouse its always pulling air IN. when i first open the entry door i still cant smell them untill a take a step or two inside..

We're not talking about running a perpetual garden, maintaining mothers, clones and high plant numbers now are we?

yes, i run a perpetual, but no mothers for my 14 strains. and who said you have to have high numbers to do it? makes more sense, yields more, and labor is spread out.

Plants need copious amounts of fresh air to replenish the CO2 they consume during photosynthesis. Plants make oxygen and consume CO2. Maybe I'm confused on your terminology?

That's the one thing that's so frustrating about forums, one person says one thing, and another says the exact opposite.

Construction has started. My room has been changed to a 9' x 18'. Here it is all framed in. Electrical guy is coming today to wire it up.

This build looks epic. Honestly, in a basement with the right setup you shouldn't have any issue with smell/vent etc, just do your homework and know what you need. I honestly learned so much from this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/6592-get-harvest-every-2-weeks.html it is a LONG read, and he covers the things he goes over repeatedly, but you could easily build a successful grow from the information in that thread if you take your time to educate yourself. Honestly, I agree not to waste too much space in a veg room. Set aside a room for a dedicated mother area, POSSIBLY a small veg F&D table, and then a huge flower area. Perpetual harvests are a nifty idea... look into them.

Electrical is done - 14 outlets in a 9' x 18' - having an outlet nearby shouldn't be a problem! Drywall starts this weekend. Plans have changed, this is going to be just a veg room for now. We will be flowering at another location. Nice thing is, I have the room to expand and put a flower room in if I wish sometime down the road.
Electrical is set up so that I can go to hydro in the future if I wish.

Update on grow room: electricity is done, walls are insulated. Drywall on outside of room is done. We will not be drywalling the inside of the room. Instead, I am just installing the panda film on the entire inside of the room. I will be putting 1" high density foam sheets on the floor to keep the cold out and then the panda film over top. Also, the door is a $120 exterior door from Home Depot. Went this route for the weather stripping - keeps odor from escaping. Will post more pics as I progress.

Wow! Lots of electrical outlets are a great idea! Looks like 2x6" studs?

Yes, lots of outlets will come in handy. We only used 2 x 6 studs on the wall with the door because I wanted the support poles to be enclosed in the wall. 2 x 4's were used everywhere else.
