Running C02 with DWC...?

This is probably a stupid question but here we go. I have had a lot of success running DWC, I'm looking to expand on my environment. If I were to keep the air pump outside my growing space, would the air stones in the DWC counter the effects of any added CO2?

Possible in a scientific way, but probably be ok for what you are doing.

One thing though is all your other parameters on point or maxed out.
Environment
Lights ect? If so i say have at it if not then co2 wont do much good but thats up to you

Just my 2 cents not the lords word ;)

Thanks for the reply. I have my environment dialed in, and it's flexible in several ways. Running a 4x4 tent with a 3x3 flood and drain with Rockwell, and PLC COBs(dimmable). The only thing that might be an issue for a sealed environment and the humidity. Maybe I can do a more resistant strain with lots of Silica.

Another thought is still having the scrubber and fan hooked up to a humidity controller on opposite cycles of the CO2. CO2 is heavy and should fall on the plants. Venting air that is triggered by high humidity might use more CO2 but I think it could work. I'm aware this idea doesn't qualify as a sealed garden, but again I think it is doable.... thoughts?

W/O adding CO2 the environment is perfect, I'm just stubborn and want to add CO2.
