Ventilation! Why do i need it?

Okay so plants breath co2, right? If my plants are in an enclosed area, with co2 filling the area. And Carbon Dioxide is heaver than Oxygen, than I can keep an all co2 environment, I mean as long as you have an open top for the O to get out. Or am i totally out of it!

Your plants need co2 yes, but you need to ventilate to keep fresh co2 coming IN to your environment. Plants will absorb the co2 and convert to oxygen. If you dont have any fresh co2 coming in, you limit the amount they have access to.

Ventilate as it keeps fresh in and by product out. It simulates outdoors very much which is the way nature designed it.

I have dry ice in it all the time and co2 is heaver than oxygen so the O gets out from the top as the carbon is filling the bottom. So I guess it vents it self.

Not really big........the idea is to raise and hold the level. You need to move the air around under the leafs all the time and a full room exchange every 6 hours. You do not use fluorescents with CO² they do not produce enough light for the plant to process the excess supply.
