How fresh must the air be for indoor grow?

I am just wondering cause I am making a setup soon
Is it obligatory to have ventilation that brings the fresh air from outside ..
or are the inside fans and tent vent sufficient?

yes you will need some source of carbon dioxide for the plants, either fresh air ventilation or a co2 tank setup.

My grow space has no open widows or vents for fresh air form outside, just whatever indoor air there is and my plants grow with no problems. 'course I have a fan circulating the air.

i grew for two years in a sealed room without co2 and did great. just going in and working would take it to 2000ppm. i can say that i will never grow without it.

if your room is really sealed (i run rubberized paint on the walls, ceiling, and 2" onto the floor) and you dont have a fucking hot water heater in there, you will need some sort of co2 supplementation. super bro you have given me a ton of good advice that i have used from the day i started growing and still use today, but the sealed room with no co2 was one of the worst things i ever listened to. my plants are STARVING for co2 in that room right now.

i got one of those cheap test kits while im waiting for the monitor to arrive and they would barely even register a presence of co2 after a few hours of lights on. the plants running in the room that gets exhausted are blowing away anything in my current room, and now that ive been leaving the door cracked the veg plants are growing faster than ive ever seen in there. every situation is different, but a sealed room and no co2 supplementation has probably cost me a pretty chunk of change..

you know whats up bro, i rarely contest that. i highly value the advice you have given me, but you are wrong about this one. im thinking that hot water heater saved your ass the first lil bit that room was in use without co2...or you would have noticed the same problems i am.

i never advised anyone to do it, i stated i did with no problems. you cant get co2 from an electric water heater kp. same room, same sealed room, but yes there was a noticable difference in yield when i added co2 but plants still looked great. i was just trying to dial it all in before adding it.

Seems like my leaves are a lil dryer when growing with in an enclosed space vs some where with and air source such as a window vent or door.My room has no windows and 1 vent but i used an oscillating tower fan.
