If you get a quality carbon filter and the correct size fan and have negative pressure in your cab, you will not smell a thing. I am 9 weeks into flower, half of my plants have come down, and there hasn't been any smell at all.

I forked out the $200 on a good filter, Active Air, and it works great. For the fan and the filter it cost me $450, but it was worth every penny. It is a 747cfm fan, and the filter will take up to 800cfm. You can get smaller filter and fan combos for like $200-$250 and you will never have to worry again.

haha best post here + rep

A quesitons about the ona gel though. Water + Ona gel + Soil Moist = long lasting odor neutralizer? Just put in a bucket with a hole or fan pulling the air out and it will cover the smell. Is this correcT?
Thanks

I realize post is out of date but whatever someone might stumble upon this. Odor sponges supposedly work very well and they cost five bucks and you can use them even if you don't have a proper ventilation system.

I've been using the odorsok for a week now and it definately has cut down the smell alot, having said that, not completely. I'd imagine in tandem with some ona or other smell-gel it would do the trick, i think though that i will attempt to doctor my odorsok in a way where i can fill it at least partially with carbon to help a bit.

I'm sure for a smaller grow or less stinky strain an odorsok by itself would be perfect, all my weed stinks to high hell though. Before i got the Sok you could smell it ooutside the front door, Now you need to be in the next room to really smell it.

Next time i spend money on odour control I'm just gonna go out and buy an appropriately sized can filter or equivilent. No fucking around, the right tool for the job.

If I didn't have a carbon filter, my entire house would stink and so would half the block. When I used to have a small 4 plant, 400watt grow, you could smell my room throughout my apt, plus halfway across the complex.

Rosemary is everywhere and grows like a weed! No pun intended here but if you like the smell of rosemary, put some in some water on the stove on low. It will take over your whole house. It's cheap ( if you grow it) and easy too. :hump:

Hi All I'm a grower from Denmark, i just had my first harvest of 450g good stuff

I've got a small grow tent, 1.2*1.2*2.1 metres, in wich i have a 600W HPS lamp, and i grow hydroponics.

Now, i went and got more exhaust than i needed (A 340m3 Pump with a 300m3 Carbon Activated Filter. And up untill the last three weeks of flowering, the Filter did it's job, but during the ripening process, it didn't quite remove all odours, and i need ALL odours removed.

It should be said that i don't need full power from the exhaust, i got it running on 30-60%

What i want to know is, how does the amount of air goin through a filter affect odour absumption? Would my Filter be more effective if i used it at full power?

So, basically, i wanna know if i can remove all odours by simply buying a bigger filter, say a 400 or 500m3 Filter for my 340m3 Pump engine?
Or do i need to actually buy a smaller filter, to better match my actual airflow, that beeing a 120m3 or 240m3 Filter?

Now, i come to you because Danish growers it seems, doesn't know shit about advanced growing

So i REALLY hope someone can give me a correct answer... I don't need speculations although you are free to make them, I need someone who knows what they're talking about. I live in the Center of Town, and letting out my flow near the main street, so pleeease a lill help.
$ is no object in this regard, i just need ALL odours removed.

Also, how long could i excpect my filters to last? the producer says 1.5-2.5 years, depending on the amount of contamination and the humidity of the air.

Thank you for your Interest

I also posted this as a thread in the general forum... I really need some oppinions/ Facts on this

Hey whats going on everybody.

I was wondering what you guys thought of the Carbon Filters. Do they remove all the smell. My grow tent isnt big at all.2x4x7 but I need to eliminate all odor. http://cgi.ebay.com/4-inch-CARBON-AIR-FILTER-INLINE-FAN-COMBO-scrubber-four_W0QQitemZ400039233691QQihZ027QQcategoryZ43555QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262?_trksid=p1742.m153.l1262 ebay has some really good deals and I was wondering what you guys thought of these kinda deals, is it worth the price along with the blower? are they really good filters? would I be getting a bad deal here? any help would be awesome. Thanks ya'll

peace out!

I personally wouldn't buy that filter. Most quality fans that are that many CFM cost the same as what they are charging for the combo.

If shipping is only $25, that is going to mean there is not much carbon in that filter. I would buy a quality name brand filter that you know will work. I made the mistake of buying a cheap filter the first time. It lasted about 3 weeks before it wasn't working. And I think the only reason it was "working" at first was because the plants were barely into flower.

I'm guessing that with your cab being 2x4x7 you are running at least 400watts in there, probably even 600watts. If this is the case, that 170cfm fan is not going to be enough to cool down your cab. Plus, after it runs through the filter you will lose like 20% of your airflow so you're down to well under 170cfm after that.

Spend the money on a good fan and filter and you will be happy for the next year and half with it. Try and save a few dollars here and there, and you will end up spending twice what you wanted to because you will be buying fans and filters twice because you will not be happy with the performance.

I posted earlier when the smell wasn't a problem but now it is. The MJ's are getting out of control in both size and SMELL.

I have a workshop, and I just moved it to a closet on one side of the workshop. My neighbors are a good distance away but when I walk up to the shed I can smell it. The buds are thriving and it's getting worse.

I don't have it airtight, no fans or nothing, just a closed door. There are small vents for the air to escape and heat so it's good and bad.

And ideas for something that will work kind of outside but really inside ? There's just wood separating the MJ's from the outside world.

I'm thinking of an Ozone generator but lava rocks sound like a quick fix...

Any ideas are welcomed.

Just went down to Home Depot... had to sit in the parking lot for 20 mins because it's freakin' Easter. I mean, how dare they ?

Anyway, I picked up a couple small packs, all they had, of some lava rock concoction ($6 each) in a bag that said it was specifically designed for odor elimination. And a gallon of this other stuff, I have it by the MJ's so I don't know exactly what it was, but like $12 a gallon so hopefully it helps a little.


Aside from breaking airstones and taking decent pictures, the SMELL has been probably my biggest problem/threat. So, I'm thinking... What are the best scentless or near scentless STRAINS ?

I read it somewhere, but have no idea where it is now.


THANK YOU & REP TO ALL THAT CAN ADD TO MY DILEMMA. :blsmoke:

NL is a low odor strain, but instead of doing that, why don't you cover up those vents with plastic or something, get youself a good exhaust fan and carbon filter and your will not have any issues. If there are no fans in your grow room you will probably have problems with mold and whatnot later. Spend the money on a good fan and filter, cover those vents and you'll be fine.
