I will be running a CO2 generator. Will this be a huge waste of propane? Should I keep the AC units air intake separate from my growroom?
personally, and being a chemical engineer, i think the co2 in ,most grow rooms probably equals outdoor co2. rooms are just not airtight and most growers are pulling negative pressure anyway. tested mine with a co2 meter and there was no difference.I will be running a CO2 generator.

ah,misunderstood as i thought it would be easier in the general attic area. yes, no problem putting it inside the grow room. it won;t hurt your co2 or temps as long as your room has an intake into the grow roomCould I pull my air from the grow room? I just ask because it would be much simpler. Would this work? Or is this not a good idea? I am also worried about drawing from the attic. It will get very hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
you're right, it'll probably be ok. but you'll make your fans work harder if you rely only on negative pressure through cracks. a small intake with a baffle you can tweak will allow you to maintain negative pressure with the least drag on your fans.It doesnt have an air intake into the room yet. I was hoping to keep actual fresh air flow to a minimum. But like you said there is no way my room is completely sealed off. I thought that would be enough.
