Hey All! I have read various threads for hours, but couldn't muster all the bits to solve my confusion.

Q - how much new air has to come in vs just circulating, assuming proper temp and humid level?

I am a newbie, started on a few auto white widow (magicseed) in 2L pots. I want to move them into a small plastic greenhouse (4x2 feet), which I set up (approx 5 hours of direct sun on a sunny day). I want to maximize the yield of course, but also learn and have fun. Temperatures will be 15-20 degrees in May and June here during the day, and I understand that I need to keep it 20-27C, which should be possible in the tent with the LED heat and sun on sunny days. I added two PC ventilators to blow the air out of the tent, triggered by a thermostat at 26C. I also plan to add two inbound vents and there lies my confusion - with so much venting, a) temperature will be close the the outdoors - too low, and b) CO2 bags will have no effect. Does the air need to be constantly brought from outside in?


For overnight cold I put in a digital fan heater to keep it over 15C.

- BioBizz Light and Omega Spectra G LED indoors (45cm distance, improvised setup), and just did the first round of Dutch pro feed on ph 6.2.

Not sure if I have posted this in the right spot on the forum?

Vents are on min, temp is quickly brought down to outdoor, cut off by a thermostat and heater, keeping it at 18 most of the day, except when it is sunny. Heat from LEDs is not enough to warm up this small plastic greenhouse.
