The Ultimate Odour Control Thread

[Else]

iono if anyone in this thread said this but... what about baking soda? not sure if it works but everyone uses baking soda to make their fridge smell nice and clean =]. so why cant it be used next to plants? its just an idea. I didn't try it yet becuase im on a new grow and the smell has been a problem yet.

About carbon scrubbers I built a closet out of spare parts its 4'x2'x5 1.5 built a 25" carbon scrubber,yes the carbon cost around 9 dollars at the pet store. I came to the size choice for the scrubber based on my square footage . use this link to calculate ...Square Footage Calculator Then based on my cubic footage I multiplied it by 5 to get the cfm requirement for my needs 11.2cfm. With that info in hand I googled this in to see what one looked like and found a PC fan go figure!! Oh before closing I spent around 40$US for duct reducer and end caps etc... plus learned something in the process now should the world has some type of fall out I might be somewhat prepared I think. MAKE IT LEGAL, KEEP IT FREE!!

my ladies are at 4 weeks flowering and still dont smell hardly at all unless u put the bud right under ur nose. when should i expect it? only seven plants, will i not need to worry about outside/neighbors? (in apartment)

What strain you growing. I am going to working on a NL X Skunk strain, just wondering what to expect.

yeah i got something to add... theres another thing that works really well... it burns some kind of oil. I saw it on youtube on a 4 part informational on how to grow indoors. it was amazing and the plants were massive!

Any other info? Sound interesting, but don't know if I want any combustion in the GR

That seems like an ok idea but isn't card ( which the box is made out of ) porous?

I always assumed it was.
But if it works. It works

Hey about the odor what do you guys think about this little ozone generator placed in a small grow box?... http://cgi.ebay.com/OZONATOR-Ozone-Purifier-Keeps-Food-Refrigerator-Fresh_W0QQitemZ220344586690QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item220344586690&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:15|39:1|240:1309

 

[mannurse801]

I'd stick with something like this... http://www.airreactor.com/prod_mightymite.htm
Putting an ozone generator in a small box can get dangerous, and in theory can be bad for plants....

 

[ThaTruth]

yea thanks, i looked at that before but its too expensive for me at the moment and i was hoping that there would be a cheaper alternative.

 

[mannurse801]

Try some ONA pucks around the box. They do work pretty good at neutralizing the odor....

That thing looks pretty good I guess, but I would again, keep it outside of the box, not in it.
Plug in some air fresheners in the room the bax is in as well. But honestly, nothing works like the activated carbon.

Can't view the link you sent, but is this the same thing? If so, don't waste the money.

thank u. has anyone tried this stuff? how does it work and how well does it work?

I've heard it's for temp use and that it only takes on the smell of the plant and ads it to the smell of the product so it's really not completely gone like a carbon scrubber or ozone generator

 

[drummingstar108]

can't compare to a good carbon filter and fan setup

Home depot sells "Volcanic Rocks" that are supposed to have ionizing properties. I did'nt believe it... but I purchased a bag and am using it in a closet grow... the shit actually works!
