Ways to deal with high humidity in sealed room with co2

Even in a sealed room you must do air exchange. If your not pulling the old air out and bringing fresh air in and just pumping co2 your basically strangling your plants and production will suffer greatly while also inviting mold bud rot and lower production output. Exchange the air every couple hours and get a dehumidifier they are cheap.
Finally I find someone who knows what's up. I've ran completely sealed grow rooms enriched with CO2. While the yields are still good this way the hybrid CO2 enrichment with air exchange works better. You get bigger nugs and more weight. I don't know the science of why this is but I can tell you from experience of doing it both ways and my best results have been using both CO2 enrichment and air exchanges. My og kush plants thrive this way. For example when I ran CO2 in an enclosed room that uses a scrubber to clean the recycled air, I would average around 2.3-2.5 pounds per gavita fixtures. The nugs do get dense but not very big compared to the hybrid system. When I enriched with CO2 with air exchange I started hitting 3+ pounds per gavita fixture. My og kush nugs were bigger and did not rippen so quick. All my buddies that are getting over 3 a light are doing the same. The completely sealed grow room environment enriched with CO2 with no air exchange is an inferior technique to the hybrid system. 1st photo is the the top bud of my og strain using the hybrid system. The second photo is a top nug of the same og strain with no air exchange running CO2 in a sealed environment where the air is recycled and only scrubbed.

What it comes down to is you don't get away with sealing everything up and using the minimum amount of CO2 without a price. You need to use a bit more to make up for losses during venting for fresh air.

Yes I would agree that you will need to use a bit more CO2 with air exchange but the extra pennies you will spend on that will be trumped by the extra dollars you get by hitting more weight per light. Even if my CO2 cost goes up by a couple hundred bucks, I don't care cause I will make it up with the extra thousands I gain by getting more pounds
