Think of it this way. If your room is at 1800 ppm right before your lights go out and you have a pilot light, whats going to happen? Your ppm is going to keep climbing cause there is no where for the Co2 to go. The plants dont take in Co2 when the lights are off so having a pilot light is a bad idea in a sealed room. You could try it out your self but you will fild out the hard way.

That said, I guess I assume it is not harmful to plants to have 1400ppm CO2 when lights are off, becuase they don't know it's there, plants don't care... can't see it/sense it....right??

Tranoble Reviewed by Tranoble on . "THE SEALED ROOM" 3lbs A LIGHT THE SEALED ROOM Listen im not very good at writing this stuff down. You can post reply's with any specific questions and I will answer them best I can. My pictures of my room are 1 week from cutting down. Based On A 4 Light Room. Pictures are of a 8 Light Room. I start by sealing my room as best I can. From there I start by building a 8ft by 8ft box with 2x6. Then I screw 2 sheets of OSB 4x8 sheets to the bottom (sort of like a water bed box). I line the inside with polly making Rating: 5
