CO2 and Ventilation - closed?

Hello all, this is my first post after a long stretch of searching for some insight on CO2 and ventilation. There is a lot of information on the topic of setting up a proper intake and exhaust system (open). But I I'm hoping someone might have some experience with setting up a closed-air system in order to create some stability with CO2 disbursement. The thought takes me from cleaning the air through a carbon filter to exhausting that same air to the air conditioning unit. Is this feasible? In turn, hopefully cleaning the air and keeping CO2 in the system, rather than flushing it out. My concern is that there will still be toxic particles that the carbon filter will not grab, thereby making a mess of the air quality and plants. Hope this question is not too noobus, thanks in advance!

I have been doing this for years now and in the beginning I was always using co2 in the room but after researching and talking to other growers I realized the most optimal way to get the most CO 2 is to bring in fresh air from the outside and dumping it into your room. Obviously everything grows quite healthy outside so what would be better. I have been using outside air to cool the room and dump co2 into the room and have watched my results skyrocket with both quality and quantity . I use to 6 inch max fans blowing into the room and lights it works two fold. It cools the room and also provides optimal CO2 and does not cost u a thing. So if u can I would tell u to bring in air from outside

I don't know who gave u that info but u couldn't be more wrong . The CO2 levels in outside air having been rising at a fast pace and yeah if u open a tank all the way up and dump it into the room the levels can be higher but if u r running it in tubing to spread throughout the room there is no way u can obtain the optimal CO2 for ur plants that u get from bringing in outside air

And that info was giving to me from the owner of the hydro store I have been going to for over ten years now who likes it when I spend money but doesn't want me wasting my money. Another problem with tanks is I knows few peoplewhohave brought bugs into the room from the new CO 2 tank

we've gotten off topic but I like to point out I'm correct when I am in fact correct. I was sitting here just the other night with my titan atlas 3 and just plugged it in for fun and put in on the desk. levels of co2 about twice that of outdoor air (which is 350 to 400 ppm) , so I get up and leave the room for awhile and come back to see that the level had dropped by over 200 . just being in the room and breathing brought it up 200 ppm.

nobody asked to see your weed :/
you have a co2 ppm meter??? I don't think you're following.

Well if ur only getting 400 ppm in ur outside air then that solves that because the ppm readings of outside CO2 where I live is over 800 ppm and I am not out to say ur wrong and I am right because we obviously differ on our opinion of this. so i will change my stance to this if u r on the east coast use the outside air

Yea right 800 ppm?

but if the levels outside are higher than inside I guess on the east coast you guys don't breath indoors??

Or maybe just twice the amount of people. I gave my opinion if one of u guys lives on the northeast coast in a major city then go test it and yes it is 800 ppm if u guys all think I don't know what I am talking about post some pics or ur grow and we will see who most people agree with. So if u r all out on the west coast don't say something isn't true that u have no clue about my meters are calibrated at least once a month and I produce ridiculous quality and quantity so I obviously know what i am talking about

this isn't about the weed you grow , it's about co2 levels , now you're saying that co2 levels outdoors there are 2 times earths average level?
