Co2 And Carbon Filter

I've saw a thread about this a few months back but couldn't find it again.

So i have a sealed room (as best to my ability) and right now I have a scrubber in the room sucking threw it and sucking the air out of the room. I want to use bottled Co2 my next round but when I turn my ventilation off the whole house smells. How can I use co2 and still scrub the air? Would I just connect the fan straight to the scrubber and let it blow into the room? Or is there better ways?

either get 2 fans, use one as an extraction fan on a thermostat, and the other on the scrubber blowing 24/7 in the room, or if its sealed well 1 fan on a scrubber hooked to a thermostat
 
you are exhausting not scrubbing. get another filter and fan, leave it in the room and let it circulate. put the other exhaust system om a controller that controls heat and co2. another thing is.. i make these cheap scrubbers for when iam trimming. buy a gallon of blue label ona gel... take a 5 gallon bucket, punch a bunch of holes around the bottom of it. get a small peice of tuperware that will fit inside the bucket, pour a bit og the gel in the tuperware and place it inside the bucket. now get a cheap inline fan (find them in the duct section of homedepot) 6" is good. cut a 6" hole in the bucket lid attach the fan with the airflow coming out of the bucket. they make these cool collars, also found at homedepot. you will have to wire a plug onto the fan, no big deal. place the lid on top of the bucket and turn it on. you can even hang it up from the handle. the fan sucks air into the bucket then over the ona then out the fan.. walla!! clean!

you need to have the scrubber just recirculating the air in the room. With sealed rooms and CO2 you don't want to have any air exchange. If you plant to air cool light they need to be ducted with a feed line and a return line out side the room. All I have for odor control is a fan sitting on a carbon filter.

Just recirculating the air trought a carbon filter in the grow room is enough to kill the odor?

No intake, no outake!? Only recirculating the air and add some Co2 and your good??? No smell?
 
well its not a sealed room if you are looking for in and out.... and if you are going for sealed, depending on where you live... AC might be needed. i would say, stop thinking or using he word sealed. set it up with in and out, vent the lights with a different system, run a scrubber (if you are smelling it when the exhuast-intake is off. will need a controller to tie in the co2. plenty of fans for airflow... maybe ac and a heater.. humidifier or dehumidifier... walla.....
