Sealed grow box?

I've done some research on the subject, and appart from people saying it would be not worth the money. I would like to know if it can be feasible.

So basically, a grow bow roughly 2x3x4, Scrogging 1 or 2plant, 300-400w led light, CO2 controlled with outside mounted tank. No exhaust or intake fan. No a/c, 100% sealed, 0db, 0 leak, 100% awesomeness.

Let's say money is not an issue, will it be feasible and if it is, what is missing?

Thanks

will not work ........u have no cooling method

the LED light will make heat with no method of cooling that it will just keep building and building in your area ...at somepoint wilting the plant and killing it off

a sealed area needs 2 things
Co2
Cooling/Heating/RH control

What if the led have water cooled heat sink? 8)

nope ....u still have the heat from the light and the IR heat......yes the amount is less but with no cooling at all it will still build up might not get to death stage with it on a 12/12 time in flowering but will still wilt it

all leds have some IR waves in the light ......they add didoes just for that as IR is one of the light waves that help the plant ......IR is the heat u feel from the sun it helps the plant cell react and divide more effectively

Yeah, if you want to go 100% sealed your plants need co2 and a/ just like justugh said.

80F is the cut off for THC higher then that the power degrades.....yes u can run it little hotter when adding Co2 85-87f

but your going to pass that ........there is no thermal transfer at all so if the box is in a 32f area inside can still get to 100f inside the box ......the lights are off no exchange the temp will drop but each day build higher then day before

the other thing is the RH u need to control that or the whole grow can go bad quickly ......rem the plant will release water in the wilt so the RH in the box will sky rock causing more wilt and possible mold (mold and fungi spores in air unless u live in a clean room type of thing it is always possible)

everything u want to do is more then possible ......the only issue is the COOLING/RH issue .....it is why all sealed room has a mini split AC in there (no ducts it just cools the air in the room with a fan and coils (the coils are cold so makes moisture in the air collect on them when u turn it off the water drains out controlling the RH in the room )

It'd just be easier to buy a carbon filter and force exhaust.

I like the idea, but if you go to the trouble of water cooled LED's and it doesn't work... talk about futile.
