ahahahaha, what a douche.
i've yet to figure out my method of scrubbing, not sure what i can get in the UK :/
What about placing the pot in a shed indoors? Sounds crazy I know but this way the shed could be wrapped in foil for ultimate light exposure. The shed is 6 ft tall, 2 ft wide by 3 ft long. The only problem I see is the temperature control. This might not keep ALL of the smell out but if sealed correctly, it might.

Question about odour:
I have a closet in my den. The closet is 2 feet deep and five feet wide and eight feet tall ceiling. The den is its own unit with only one entrance in and is 14X14 in the basement of a house. There is only one PVC window that has a good airtight seal and next to it is an aluminium door which also has a pretty good seal and leads outside. There is a wall mounted AC unit with an ion control option.
I was wondering what people thought would be the best method of odour control if I was to grow two or three, four foot tall plants in the closet.
My nearest neighbour is a nosy old broad who always sits on her porch which is 30 - 35 feet from the door to the den.
Would the smell escape through the sealed window or door? Or would it somehow escape through the wall mounted AC unit?
I see people using DIY carbon filters. Should I make one and put it in the closet and vent it out into the room? Opening the closet door will make it smell and the closet itself isn't sealed very well (ie light and smell come through the closet door.) Do you think the smell would stay trapped in the den and not leak out or is there anything I can do to get rid of unwanted odours?
I can turn the AC on and put on the Ion function but I dunno if that would help either. Does the wall mounted AC unit suck air out?
I do not have access to Ona gel / products and I can't special order them. Maybe my local hardware store has some sort of odour eater thing but I'm not sure if it would help.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Well I would say ona or that zero odor stuff that was brought up a few posts back. But if you can't get it or order it ??? Can you buy a visa gift card and order one online? I know with the cost of the card and shipping that 50% extra just for some ona, but it works. U can do a diy fan/filter combo, but since this closet isn't contained and leaks air into the den, you will have to scrub air for the den and closet. Those light leaks, by the way, will need to be taken care of before you start a grow. I think if you work to seal the closet, get a light that the vent hooks too, place a fan/filter combo on the vent, and figure out a way to vent the closet into the den. You will need to refresh the air in the closet, and you will have to work out a solution to let air into the closet as well, without leaking light. It sounds like you have a great idea and place, but I suggest you do more research cause you need to work out your lighting & ventilation issues. This way your not struggling through your grows, essentially making them miserable when they are in fact enjoyable. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Hey gumball! Thanks for the info. Is the leaking light bad because it takes away from light getting to the plant or is it because it's obvious if anyone looked in?
So maybe: Add a small fan to intake air at the bottom and then pump it back out at the top with filter?

no, the light leaks are bad when you go to flower. the plant need so much darkness, or it thinks it is time to grow again. a plant can grow (veg) with very little light, screwing up your flowering.
as for the fans, i would not do a fan at the bottom, because if you put one fan at the top it will actually pull as much air , or close to, from the bottom as it pushes out the top. this also forces all air in the room to exit through this fan, making it go through the filter as well. this gives what is called negative pressure, and i prefer it over positive pressure.

Ah! I get it now! What size fan is good? Can I use one of those mini fans / computer fans and then have that connected/blowing into a DIY filter at the top?

well fan size depends on volume of space and how many times you want to exchange the air in your space. you have a 2x5x8 space, which is 80 cubic feet. so to exchange the air 1 time per minute you need a 80 cfm fan (cfm cubic feet per minute). so i think it is recommended to exhcange the air 3-6 times a minute, so 80x3=240cfm or 480 cfm. if that is too much, you could split your closet in half and only grow on the top or bottom, reducing the amount of air you have to exchange. with this much space, you may want to go ahead and invest up front for a fan filter combo specifically for this size an area, it maybe $100-200, but if it saves you the hassle of battling temps, ya know food for thought

the strains do react different to different environments, baking soda is not strong enough for MJ, unless you have a 50 gallon drum of it, and it still probably wont last through flower. i use ona, and like it a lot. it really removes the need for carbon filter with small grows. but the carbon filters are still good to block light

Ok so I am a noobie on here and I was thinking about trying to grow 2 to 4 autoflowering dwarf plants inside in a cabinet i made. If I use a carbon filter along with a fan... will this really kill the smell so people visiting won't notice? or will it just cut down the intensity of the smell? I planned on having fans bringing fresh air into the cabinet and a fan and carbon filter bringing old air out of the cabinet.

Depends on the quality of the filter and the fan. There are some DIY's on here that work pretty well but if you need total stealth than you need a professional filter and fan set-up.
