Sealed Tent Setup

I want to set up a sealed 5x5x7 tent with my 1000w. My question is regarding controlling environment. I planned on getting the sentinel chhc-4 which has inputs for co2,cooling,heat,and humidity. Co2,heat,and humidity are covered. The hood is straight through air cooled by 6" fan. Now do I hook up a/c or exhaust to the cooling input on the controller? If I do a/c the room will never exhaust. If I do exhaust, I'll have to run a/c on separate controller and the temp will be maintained so again the exhaust will not ever kick on. Should I just run the a/c to cool the room which the tent is in? Also without intakes won't the tent suck in on itself when exhausting?

Can I just recirculate the scrubbed air within the tent?

with your co2, ya don't need fresh air anywhere near as often. Exhaust every couple of hours for a few mins.

Exactly with co2 and a sealed environment you dont need fresh air. The plants munching on co2 will give off fresh oxygen a carbon scrubber on the floor with help with scrubbing any stale air in the room and reduce odors.

But where does the fresh air come from in a sealed room? Is it ok to have a vent open at the bottom for this? Or do I lose all my co2.

Your plants dummy!! Since you are a gardener now did you know that the plants around us give off oxygen like the tree's and bushes, its how us Human beings and all living animals on this place called planet earth live. PLANTS GIVE OFF OXYGEN.

No vents! you will lose all co2. I weather stripped my grow room doors so no co2 escapes. Co2 is extra food for your plants.

Ok, sealed means sealed! So to Remove sank, just scrub air every couple hours and recirculate within the grow room. Everything else runs of the controller.
