Don't kill yourself with the gas. (suffocation) It's not worth it. And since plants grow just fine without the supplimental CO2, it is unnecessary except for a few specific cases. And if growing for your own meds, why add to your costs unnecessarily?

Extreme cold is fatal regardless of the CO2 levels. Get a heater for the winter nights and really cold days. An oil-filled one is good, because it doesn't radiate light every time the element comes on.

Unless your grow closet is air-tight...if you vent the heat out, fresh air will be sucked-in through the cracks and openings. There should be no need for an intake fan if you've got a working exhaust fan. You'll still need a circulation fan though. My exhaust vents are near the top of my closets, because that's where the heat goes. In the winter, I close the vents a tad to retain SOME heat, but still allows some air exchange. (fresh CO2)
Rusty I plan on making room airtight- so an intake will be needed- i have already bought an oil radiant heater- same brand as yours- my concern about outside air tempt is because I am very sick {terminal the docs say} so this could be my last hoorah- it is important to me to be successfull at this build and grow- I normally grow outdoors but because of my health I was not able to tend to my crop this season and the drought and excessive heat did my girls in- I need this grow for personal meds and to focus my mind on- chronic pain and strees relief- Mr Trichrome-what are the lowest tempts you have to deal with- I hope to have my grow started by October 1st- possible harvest date on an indoor would be?
