febreeze is good ona is better.... What about this... Go to your local sports shop and buy a spray bottle of odor killer or scent away in the hunting section. Its used to eliminate smells so deer cant smell hunters. It smells like nothing, my stealth grow box with four flowering (week 7) deisel ryders smells like nothing...no perfumey, urinal cakey, skunky odor, jus plain nothing. The bucket is a fantastic idea jus pick what you want to put in it. I use wildlife scent killer which is completely organic and made from plant enzymes so there arent any chemicals floating around my babes. Just a thought

Hello everyone! I saw a pic on here of a bucket with a fan over it and the bucket was filled with Pine Sol and he was using it for odor control. I thought hey that would work but I really don’t want to smell Pine Sol in my room. I went to the BIG Orange store and bought a painters bucket with lid about $2.50 and a bottle of Febreze $4.79 I had an old CPU that I dismantled and stole the fan out of it FREE!! I did have to go the surplus store for a transformer that would run the fan $3.00. I cut a hole in the top of the lid then epoxied the fan to the lid, then drilled holes all around the bucket for air, dumped the Febreze into the bucket filled the rest with water and plugged it in. There is not a whole lot of air coming out of the fan but I waited an hour or so and my room smells like summer!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH

Febreze is a very powerful deodorizer it just took some time for it to take over the room. Not strong at all just fresh!!!!

I am using this in conjunction with a can filter system but would definitely work alone with a small op.

Enjoy

good idea, here another idea you can try. There a charcol filter that you can purchase its cut to fit carbon for air purifiers just goggle cut to fit carbon and you should see it then you can turn that bucket in to can filter you might have to change the fan but I would try with the fan you have now:weed:

:bigjoint::bigjoint:Putting an AIRSTONE will be more effective and effecient than the fan since u filter the air/odor through ur solution :) if ur looking for max effect. cheers:eyesmoke:

Defo a quality idea. I'm gonna do the same, but i just ripped the fans out of an old 360 case to do it

My question is, does anybody know how i would go about wiring it up??:dunce:

Great idea. Has anyone used this yet with more than a few plants flowering and no carbon filter? Curious to how well it will work. Ive got a massive $250 carbon filter I never used. Its about 10x bigger than what I need so I am gunna sell it. Planning to give this a try if it can actually hide the odor during peak flowering. Also curious if it leaves any sort of smell/taste to the buds since febreeze has such a strong smell.

sorry to bump this but i see questions that were left unanswered...

basically id like to know if the febreeze/ tide with frebreeze floating in the air will harm plants,or humans living in the house?or cause harm to the grower who goes into the room to work/do the hobby?

or does it depend where you are floating it? garage or sealed room in the house etc...


also what the guy above me said about "Also curious if it leaves any sort of smell/taste to the buds since febreeze has such a strong smell. "

When you spray Frebreez in your living room is it harmful? It did not change anything other than kill the smell. Lemons would not be strong enough.

since this is started again ill have to say thanks sparkafire +rep

i mixed frebreez and nilodor in a bucket without a fan and it is working fine as i have mine outside in a shed there is no power source. as an improvement on the just having a bucket sitting there i was thinking would it be worth in my case having a rag sitting in the bucket as a wick or making a diy co2 or something to bubble through the mix so it releases more when it comes to budding.

i also soaked cotton buds in nilodor oil and frebreez and put them around the windows.

Thanks I really dont know if the homemade c02 would be a good idea but hey give it a try. The wick might be a good alternative.
