So i was thinking if i were to get a sterelit and put perlite plus water and peroxide or whatever to keep the humidity up and then lets say a small houseplant (depending on how many cakes im fruiting) and the cakes and then closed it...... .....then teroreticaly the house plant would turn co2 to oxygen and the mushies vise-versa. Right? Either way feedback is appreciated but please understand this is just me brainstorming and trying to find a way to help us all out and i do not need negativity i have enough of that in my life already but i do always like constructive criticism and feedback thanks again. ya gotta give me credit for trying right

This has been tried a few times, but I have to point out a few flaws.
1) Plants grow very slowly in comparison to mushrooms, so they won't use as much CO2 as the mushrooms produce, thus still leaving a buildup of CO2. 2) While perlite's inherent quality for creating humidity (how porous it is) will bring the humidity in a chamber up, it will not keep it in the high 90-100%s. Air exchange helps boost the evaporation. 2a) If you do keep the humidity up, most plants will suffer as they do not enjoy full humidity like mushrooms. 2b) If humidity stays constant, you will not get the drying/wetting effect that the mycelial network likes and may get worse pinsets. 3) I think this is a lot more effort than building something like the shotgun fruiting chamber that lets fresh air in for you.

The house plant would be a big source of possible contams too. Even with the H2O2.

the reason for the first post is because i want stealth and i feel this is easier with a sealed container with a light inside and maybe tropical plants or some sort of indoor biodome kinda setup a grow hyroponic grow tent with an extra top shelf for the mushies i'm gonna do something on sketch up and try to upload some pics similar to what i picture in my head

You'd need a ton more plants than you would mushrooms to keep the co2/o2 levels appropriate. Also, like I said, you'd have a hard time keeping plants at 90%+ humidity, they generally just do not like it.
I fear that you are under age trying to hide this grow.

Something about the words Hydroponic Grow tent just don't scream stealth to me...

You know you could build that for maybe $30-50? What idiot would not notice that you have two towers at your desk? How do you explain NO PLUGS IN THE BACK?
Man, if I was your parent/roomate you'd be busted probably within a week.

i know you could build one that cheap (im not fuckin stupid) and you dont realize i could probably make one that is better so it looks like the thing even has a vid card sound and net card and more also i would make it so the power for the light source was ran into an empty power source on the back of the computer and lastly it is not very uncommon for me to have two pcs conected to one monitor with a simple switch on the control box similar to the switch on a home stereo system with an amp i build computers all of the time as another hobby of mine

KVM switch is the item you were looking for.
24 watt CFL isn't gonna provide enough light for hydro plants, the PC fans move too much air and will dry out your mushrooms. I'm not trying to be negative, just telling you the issues you'll run into.

i am well aware of that i was trying to keep it simple for your sake i was not aware you would know what one was...
i meant similar to the pic not exactlythat one. that was an example of what i could possibly generate an idea from. for instance scratch the fans totaly remember i would be getting oxygen from the plants and co2 from the mushies moisture from the wiking material in the hdro system that is obviously treated to be contam free... anything else
