Sealed Dry Room

[testing]

So I posted a thread in the harvesting/curing forum but I haven't gotten any info so I figured I would try it here, especially since I wasn't sure which forum to post it in to begin with.

Basically I'm trying to figure out if I can make my dry room a Fully Sealed CEG. In theory it should work right? control the RH, and TEMP with a dehumidifier and AC. Put a recirculating carbon filter in there for good measure, and don't allow any air in or out. Is there anything else I need to worry about? Is there some reason a dry room NEEDS fresh air? or will controlling the RH and Temp be sufficient?

Security is a must for me and I have never done a CEG, but from my understanding if done right there should be no odor. Now I'm really only worried about the dry room. Any info is appreciated! Thanks guys and gals

WTF is a "CEG?" -granger

CEG="Closed Environment Grow" or a co2 supplemented room. What I'm proposing is everything you have in a co2 supplemented room (AC, dehumidifier) without the co2 since you obviously don't need that for drying.

Yes I have done it this way, don't set the dehuey too high or drying happens too fast!

you need fresh air with oxygen to avoid reproduction of anaerobic bacteria wich destroys smells and flavors.
it would be interesting to know if its possible to cure under certain atmosphere to minimize oxidation or loss of cannabinoids and terpenes.

That makes sense, but in a room that has normal atmospheric conditions without any added co2, would the hannging plants really use up all the oxygen to create a anarobic environment? I have a hard time believing that hanging plants (or the bacteria on them) will use all the oxygen in the room.

What scale have you done this? Was there any different in smell afterwards? The room was fully sealed with no air in or out? You had ac and dehumidifier?
