I have an under the stairs closet that I built with particle board, the main grow area before the steps start getting too low is about 4x4x7.
I don't have any kind of intake or exhaust and I'm planning on running a remote ballasted high bay converted 400w MH.
The room is in the basement so it stays cool enough and I have a fan for circulation but I was just wondering, what will be the consequences of CO2 deficiency if I don't have intake and exhaust.
Would the plants just not produce enough food and grow slowly?
I'm not adverse to adding an intake but I don't really want to exhaust because then I'd have to get an inline carbon filter (I'm getting a couple febreze carbon odor eater things I saw some people using and if that's not enough I'll build a DIY carbon filter but still don't want to exhaust it outside the closet) and I've already spent too much on this whole project and I don't want to have too many holes in the closet as it needs to be stealth.
I wasn't sure what having an intake but not an exhaust would do? Can that work? / would that provide enough CO2?
I've read about the DIY yeast / sugar CO2 bottles / buckets but as there is no way to control the amount released I wasn't sure if that would be a good way to go.

here's a summary of my questions:
