How could I make my safe airtight, and the ventilation system incospicous for grow?

I spent a long while thinking of a small container to stealth grow, but then it hit me that my safe was bigger, and more secure than the container I was previously thinking about using. But I wasn't sure about how to incorporate a ventilation system that would deal with the smell that would accompany a grow

Retired Locksmith here,
If it's a gun safe it will rot from the inside out.
The fire proofing material is a sheet rock type material, unfinished and it surrounds the 4 sides of the box.
It grows mold easy, that's why people put desiccant or a "golden rod" dehumidifier inside a gun safe.

You can make a door very secure if you don't mind doing the work.

Steel frame, commercial steel door, 4 NRP hinges, quality lock set, some concrete to backfill the frame.

look up a spider lock, very common in NYC in the 70s-80s as a commercial back door lock and it's serious.
It throws bolts at up, down, left and right.

very cool to think of this, however as the others said in the end if you want to grow a good looking plant it would not be wise to use a safe. :-) Here is an idea, use a free standing wardrobe/closest type cabinet. Will look totally inconspicuous and because it is wood, you can cut vent holes and modify it is easily and cheaply. But by all means if you want to do a safe grow do it, maybe if it is a walk in safe with vent built in it could be amazing. :-)

It's like 2 feet by 3 feet. I know if you trim it right it can grow just as well outward.

unless, you suplemented the air with
CO2 right? you would have to keep it at about 1500 ppm i believe and you wouldnt need a exhaust/intake fan but you would have to have a very cool light set up maybe LED to keep the heat down, and only run the co2 in the day cycle. maybe have a mover fan inside for the dark period.
