I`ve been using central a/c for over a year and dont have any smell problems
100% agreed. Typically you want your carbon scrubber to exhaust outside so the little smell remaining gets dispersed.Have someone who doesnt live there take a wiff. I bet they smell it.
A carbon scrubber is not going to keep the room 100% odor free
A carbon scrubber in the room? No, no the smell will not be gone. Not a chance.Why would using a central a/c cause the house to smell?
If there is a carbon scrubber in the room with the plants that is good enough all the smell will be gone.

an official sealed room is completely sealed and cooled with a residential ac needed to cool the room depending on your lights. i have used 3800 btu's per 1k and kept my temps in the 72-75 degree range easy while running co2. i love huge ac's and sealed rooms...air cooled is noisy and theres always a damn leak somewhere sucking out your co2 or smell!
umm... anyone with positive pressure on their aircooled lights is not loosing co2 and odor; if anything were gaining oxygen to keep co2 buildup from giving nasty headaches when one enters the room...
my scrubber runs 24/7 in the corner of the room
it seems like aircooling becomes more optional if you're running vertical bulbs; cooltube or bare is the real question
I wasn't trying to be a dick, but a little slipped out.Superultramega isn't trying to be a dick I don't think, he's actually is quite correct about his assessment of the A/C and thermostat. I don't think he's trying to be negative, (well shit maybe he is)
Exactly...Show me someone aircooling lights and not losing co2 and odor...not gonna happen, now I'm not saying someone hasn't got really nice ppm in their room air cooling but it's just not as effective. I prefer a bigger A/C and no air cooling but I can see where many don't want to spend that kind of money on a system.
I feel like most people disagreed with me about not aircooling the lights. A few made it seem like I didn't understand the principle of a sealed room when I said that the entire point was not to have any leaks. Kinda funny you can tell from the posts whose run sealed rooms and who hasn't. Extreegrower knows what he's talking about just from the two sentence post I read of his...he gets it. Superultramega isn't trying to be a dick I don't think, he's actually is quite correct about his assessment of the A/C and thermostat. I don't think he's trying to be negative, (well shit maybe he is), but regardless, don't totally disregard his info he knows what he's talking about, just my 2 cents. Right now I'm, running two completely sealed rooms, one with 12k and the other with 14k, I couldn't imagine running rooms this big and not sealing them, just piece of mind for me. Lastly to play devils advocate the MAJOR downside of a sealed room is the possibility for your system to fail and for you to lose the entire crop. To remedy this I use the Sentinel HID 2 and connect it to my MLC 16 set the kill temp at 90 and that way if the AC ever fails the lighting controller will shut the lights off at the desired temp. Hope this helps, good luck with the grow, I'm sure your gonna have a nice op no matter what bro...sending you the positive vibes
