Im a girl n new to this Thread starter so bare with me. I have a pretty decent size grow closet, and the only intake and outtake is a decent size crack under the door.....but the door gets open plenty enough throughout the day so fresh air is not a problem. However, I need sumthing to get rid of the smell in my closet and outside, which is my bedroom and bathroom. The temps in there are right at 80 degrees and 40-50% humidity. The only fan I have is a box fan hanging high, above the light and the plants n blowing down to them thus blowing hotair downward towards the crack under the door and blowing the smell into my bedroom/bathroom. When company comes, they rarely go in my bathroom but if they did, I dont want to worry bout them smelling my plants. Plz any forsure suggestions would be great and were I can put the products that are going to destink my room and around it;0)

This is what alot of newcomers forget about.. "The SMELL"

Hear about it ALL the time.

All these potent strains to buy.. But they
smell so pungent when flowering.

Even the descriptions say so.. Gotta look carefully when buying seeds, or getting a clone from a friend...Research what your growing! Sigh..


Thats why i always suggest Northern Lights #5. It doesnt smell.

Maybe a slight bit of pine, but its like a small air freshener.

You will need to get some sort of odor removal going on
if you continue growing out the strain you have.

Air scrubber, or something of the sort.

But, that still wont help all the way.

I use a canfan carbon filter, and an air lazer ozone generator at the same time, and the smell from my ladies will still sneak out.

Bottom line> I would suggest you changing strains,
NL5 is an awesome strain, short, flowers great and very forgiving and easy to grow.

You can pick up a packet for $60 @ high grade seeds.

I should receive mine anyday :)

Best of luck :)

Yes it is the intake outtake, b/c the door is open sum throughout the day and Im always opening the door to check on um. Id think air, or temp will be a problem at all!!!!!! However b/c or the door being open through out the day I need to get rid of the smell! Will a open bottle of ona gel work in my bedroom for the smell and it I just hang a DIY carbone filter in front of the fan blowing down on my plants....will this help or hurt my plants? Yes I have pics on my profile, take a look and tell me what u think.

There is a $30 5gal bucket set up that I think would work great for you up in the FAQ section. You can adjust this one so it will cover the dank but not be too stank itself.

If it emits ozone/03 than high concentration will hurt the plants. It will show as very uniform rust spots, with little to no yellowing. Doubt a cheap retail generator can produce these levels. Carbon filter is prob your best bet though. I'm like the guy above, use a carbon scrubber in conjuntion to my ozone generator.

OK then, Ive seen how to make a DYI Carbon scrubber from a cloth and carbon from a fishstore.......but were can I put it in my grow closet. Do I put it in front of the fan which, the fan is blowing on my plants or by the door were the intake and outtake is. My intake and out take is the door being opened throughtout the day. It is not always opened but sumtimes its opened all day depends on if Im home!! I know airflo is not a problem so......were I put it is the question???? Does the fan need to blow the carbon filter in order for it to work or can I just hang it and it'll work? Also how can I post pics here for ya'll to see? I put sum on my profile but they havent had any views, can ya'll go to my page and see my pics or no? Lots of questions and need answers, lol THX TO ALL ;0)

In order for a carbon filter to work, none of that dank smelly air in the closet may exit the closet without going through the carbon filter first. It is the activated carbon that cleans the air as it passes through. So in a situation like yours, that might not be the best solution, unless you want to seal the closet and install intake and exhaust somehow.

Febreez make a car deoderizer, called Refresh. Its pretty strong, lasts about 3 weeks. Get a Pina Colada. Place one under a ocilating fan.
