I'm curious what I should do about regulating the smell in my drying room. I'm just using a bathroom that nobody uses as my drying room. I'm thinking I can just use that Ona gel outside the drying room so that the smell of Ona doesn't get into the buds. I don't want to go out and buy a carbon scrubber just for a week's worth of use. So, does anyone have any suggestions for what to use in a drying room?

You may not want to buy a carbon filter just for a weeks use, but you may have to. You can get a small fan/filter combo for like $100 that will make things much easier.

Don't look at it like you're buying it to use for once for one week. Look at it like you're buying it to use 6 times a year for a week at a time for the next couple of years. This isn't your last grow right?

In the last 3 weeks I have 'discovered' at least 3 other growers. One in Denver a block from the Amtrak station - these folks are being careless about their HPS lights. And two others due to lack of odor control (one near Reno and another in Madison, WI).

Now the guys in Reno must have a huge grow room cause it was obvious two houses away! :hump:

But I was out visiting with friends in Madison and one house had stairways (front and back) that smell just like my own little closet.

Now, my takeaway from this is two-fold. 1) Am I leaking odors that I'm not aware of? 2) There's a lot of us - everywhere!

I live close to Vancouver where I got the idea to try this again - there you smell growing everywhere but I figure the legal growers accounted for that.

The people who got me started with my first hydro grow operate in closed environments but I don't have the space. Ever since I got back home I make a habit of walking and sniffing around the place before I enter - figuring fresh nostrils will work better. So far so good.

"... Am I leaking odors that I'm not aware of? ..."



I'm right there with you my friend. And sometimes when folks are over I get the mild hints of all of a sudden "do you have any?", when they didn't ask before. And... "... the utility co. is checking power bills..." also. Not good.

I'm going down to get an ozone generator today... I have a 6x6x7 room, not sealed up totally but it should work... I hope.


Peace & REP.

that sounds dangerous.

I just bought an OZN-1 Ozone Generator, says is does 5500 cubic feet.

I didn't get it at this place, but this one has a downloadable PDF instruction manual.

It's been working pretty freakin' well, but I bought a Sunleaves digital timer and I don't know how to set it up to go off every hour ? Something like 15 minutes on, 45 off...etc.


:peace:

Carbon filter or odorsok?
I own the odorsok, trust me when i say that you'll regret it if you buy it.
The odorsok doesn't eliminate 100% of odours. Hell, i'd be surprised if it does 50%

Spend the extra cash and buy a proper carbon scrubber, don't make the same mistake i did.

Good luck!! :peace:

thanks for the data, SZ

always wondered about the odorsoks

i know what ya mean about funky strains.

i have one of the deau passe filters (look like car filters for the air intake) and mannnn the single alpha diesel is beating the filter up. the superskunk is like musk..like stank...lol some probably wouldnt recognize it as weed funk unless someone said something or was a pothead...and the white russians are pungent too....omgah beating my charcoal filter up!!!

She will if she loses her home, her car, her job, etc because you run your mouth and get yourself busted or some other shit goes down.

You should never put another person at risk while you are growing. Especially your mom. That is just fucked up. Maybe for mother's day you should sack up and move out of your mom's house.

Chill dude, as much as I would agree with you man, Im sure more than half the homies on here grow in their parents house and unless your growing pounds and pounds, nothing that dramatic would happen, at least where I live.
Im allowed to grow in my parents house cus I have an MMJ License.

It is safe unless you get busted federally, or if you go over your limit, or you get popped smoking with people that don't have their card, etc. So no, its not really safe for you to grow in your parent's house.

Plus, if you have your card, that means you are at least 18. This means you should be growing weed in your own home, not mooching off your parents.

If you want to grow pot, be responsible enough to not risk your friend's or family's well being.

That ozone generator looks pretty spiffy. I'd get one but I haven't the funds yet, so it looks like I'll be cooking with fresh garlic cloves to mask the smell for a while xD

If you're not old enough to move out, then your mother is responsible for you. So if something did happen, she would be in trouble right along with you.

And if you're not old enough to move out, than you're not old enough to be on this site. Go sit in your high chair and have your mommy put out some carrot sticks for you.
