poll: exhaust vs air conditiioning, when lights are on in flowering

what are everyones thoughts?

do you go heavy on the exhaust with minimal ac, an even split, or heavy on the ac?

i for one love just adding more ac, and go with no direct exhaust other than what the ac kicks out of the room. especially so if your going for a high yield and really try to utilize your co2. you may end up with a higher electric bill, but i think yield makes it worth it.

is there anything really detrimental about limited exhaust if you can keep humidity low, and temperature low?

If I had a CO2 system in place, I'd be leaning towards more AC and a more sealed room. Without one, I rely on strong exhaust/intake fans to keep the air fresh. If you're running CO2, it's just a waste if there's an exhaust fan running all the time.

I bought a single hose portable AC not knowing about dual hose. Dual hose won't pump any of the room air out the exhaust.
I intend to modify the single exhaust unit I bought to a dual, its actually a piece of cake, a square to round reducer mounted to the side of the ac and a flex sucking air from another area. I realized how much co2 I was pumping out of the room with the single hose unit from an odor it picked up, if it picks up odor its surely gonna pick up and remove co2 from the room. I really can't wait till winter when I don't need the AC, leaves more room for plants. Not to mention cuts the power bill a lot.
