Who is us?
I ask because I wonder if other people in the house are experiencing the same.

The plants are the same plants with the light off as they are with the lights on. No need to be afraid.

I would think the smell would be stronger with the lights on cooking off the terps?

Does your exhaust fan turn off at night or something?

I search and found cannabis respire at nights , mean it use oxygen and release co2 + energy , maybe this co2 cause I feel dizzy at nights when respire takes in , I remember ppl was saying don't sleep under tree at night or you could die

why is it not good to sleep under a tree at night?
During the day, in presence of sunlight, the plants use up the CO2 and release O2 in the process of photosynthesis. But during night, plants won’t perform photosynthesis so they are unable to use the CO2 and this further leads to increase in the proportion of CO2 in the air. During night the trees breathe in oxygen and release CO2. If one sleeps under the trees, the amount of increased CO2 in the air around will certainly affect the health. So it is inadvisable to sleep under trees during night. He suffers from suffocation. He feels excess weight on his chest. For this reason, some rural people imagine and fear that ghosts would come and sit on their chests if they sleep under Peepal or Banyan trees.

No, it's because the leopards roost in the trees, and eat you.
So, they teach the kids the ghost story to make sure they don't do it.
That's how a laughing village elder explained it on a documentary I saw, when asked about this Tarzan jungle lore that you have somehow superimposed Co2 into.

Something else is going on in your environment. Two plants couldn't make you sick IMO. They're not even flowering. Check for a whitish powder on the leaves. Possibly get a Co2 alarm just to be sure. They're cheap.

Bax,
Years ago, while visiting my Mom, and sleeping in a basement apartment in her house...I became ill. Sort of flu type symptoms. I was later talking to my Sis who reported the same thing. But only when sleeping down in the basement.

We had a mold eradication specialist come in and de-mold the whole place. I never slept down there anymore. And the scary part was that my Mom, a few years later, developed Leukemia and died. It was never determined if the mold caused the Leukemia.

Point is I will never live in a place that makes me feel sick. Totally abnormal and you should have it checked out.

whatever is effecting you, it isn't plants. i live in a small house with 12-15 plants all the time, and what you're describing doesn't happen.
if the co2 from plants was dangerous, i'd already be dead.
i'm not sure what is effecting you, but i'm pretty sure what it isn't

We lived in a house they manufactored meth in. Our symptoms were allergy like. Runny nose, red eyes, stuffy, I had a nose bleed one night. We found out what was causing it because.....my brothers ex wifes mom was the one who did it. They came to picm up my nephew and she was nostalgic about the house it seemed. She has the mental maturity of an 18 year old.

There were patches in the grass where they dumped the waste in the backyard.

Another house we lived in we figured chinese drywall.

Mold shouldnt be taken lightly either. Just as bad as these other two things I mentioned.

if it started when you started growing, it may be something in the walls of the room you're growing in, getting a boost from the higher heat and humidity. the only thing i can suggest is drilling some holes and spraying some bleach directly into the wall spaces. not sure it'll kill it, but it ought to knock it back a good bit. if it seems to help, repeat it every 3 or 4 months?
