In my basement I have sectioned off a corner about 4x6x7. I plan to put 5 plants in there and run a 400 mh and a 600 hps, I have a 12 inch oscilating fan but am not opposed to buying a larger stronger fan. I have a 3 foot baseboard heater in that space, to control night temps, I am going to buy an inline fan to vent out the air into the rest of the basement, I will likely rig that with a carbon filter later on when things are flowering. I will just have small holes in the bottom of the wall to the room to vent in cool basement temp air without any extra fan(basement is around 12-13 degrees right now(54 farenheit) but will likely drop a little more as the winter sets in. The basement is not vented in any way to anything. Other than if I open a window or open the door to the basement the air will not be leaving the basement very easily except for small leaks wherever they are. This factors into my idea with co2 control. I want to run a co2 generator in the basement to bring the entire basements co2 up to 1500 even though it is only for the one small corner. Since the air isnt being deliberately vented out anywhere can I expect my CO2 to level off at a nice ppm with the generator flame being set very low? Ive never heard mention of this technique with all Ive read about co2. I am also curious if I could eventually have low oxygen levels from venting back into the basement? I plan to run a dehumidifier as needed and when spring comes and temperatures rise I will look into getting a portable AC.
Is this a sound plan? the basement is 4200cubic feet minus 168cubic feet for the room. the rooms 2 concrete walls are not insulated and the walls of 75% of the rest of the basement are insulated
I hope that sums it up close enough, any thoughts?
