A few details:
I live on the bay in CA at sea - level, maritime layer leads to temperate climate most days and nights of the year. I have a 10' X 10' room on the second story, with a nice 8' X 4' southerly window. 90% of the center part of the window is covered with thin, blue curtain that offers discreetness but still allows a good amount of supplemental blue light, added to 1000w HPS, 600 W MH, & 54 W UVA/UVB. The windows are open on either side of the curtain to the equivalent of 4' X 3" on either side, so 4' X 6" total open ventilation on that wall. The climate control consists of temp controller connected to heater and 8" 420 cpm booster fan exhaust, and humidity controller connected to humidifier and dehumidifier. I'll leave the door open a crack for cross breeze or to cool on hotter days. All in all, it's able to maintain ideal climates pretty good and hassle free. Given this, any suggestions on the best way to incorporate co2? I don't believe I would want to make the full trade of to fully sealed room and give up some of the natural advantages for full on AC and the like. I don't have need for AC now and would like to not need one, though may be willing to include one if used sparingly. At the same time, I'd like to use co2 the best most productive way possible, while also not throwing the co2 away. I'm thinking some kind of spot/cooler days/hybrid open/closed regiment to take full advantage. Any ideas are very welcome.
Thanks
