Exhausting air from room during lights off

Can I exhaust air from the room with lights off to reduce co2 levels at night and lower humidity? Turn off the exhaust during lights on? With co2 burner running with lights on and semi sealed room.
Co2 is kind of high during lights off and humidity is high.

I've never used co2 i don't know anything about using it.
Co2 aside you/we have to keep ventilation going light on or off, we need to keep down humidity and change the air frequently to refresh it, in my case every 15/20 minutes during the dark period + dehumidifier running constant.

Yeh I have a dehumidifier 205 quest but doesn’t seem to be enough for my dark period; humidity rises up to about 70’percent with lights off

co2 do not hurt during dark, they only use oxygen
if you live in a dry area and add a good xhaust .. yeah it will allow better control on humidity
if its often rainy and cold/humid it will not improve your situation

I've never been able to control humidity without a fan coming on intermittently at least + good temps (20c) when temperature drops humidity rises hence relative humidity (RH%)

Not true if you are using co2.
No fresh air is needed, the co2 supplies that.
Just have to worry about temp and humidity

Co2 is only needed during the day.
Put your burner on a timer to turn off at night, and ventilate as much as you desire.
They only need ambient levels for night time.
Co2 does nothing unless the plants are receiving a extreamly high amount of light.
Otherwise they will grow the same at 500 ppm as they would at 1500 ppm CO2.

@Star Dog My understanding is that you can vent during the night as you are fine with normal c02 levels than. I've read of lots of people doing that and tying in a switch so you are able to walk into your room during lights on if that makes sense.

In my opion (as someone who has never ran co2) yeah it's nice that you are still able to vent at night. But why don't you have a way to keep temps and humidity down all the time anyways? co2 to me only makes sense in a sealed environment. it's nice if I can unseal it but I should never have to to maintain my environment.

(feel free to say that I'm wrong Its part of the spice of life)

I have a 6” duct booster that runs during my lights off. It keeps my humidity in check at night. Also stops cold winter air from coming back down my ducting.
But this is in a tent not a big room
