Help finding a odor solution for my setup...

[galildoughty]

The fan you see is a 50cfm bathroom fan and the tent vents right back into the room its sitting in. This was never my idea of a good setup, just a temporary solution to get air vented outside of my tent. Would sticking a low cfm(110 - 165) inline fan(vortex maybe) combined with apropriate filter (Phresh, Can, Elf) be to much for my little tent? Maybe expanding the passive air intakes if it comes to it?

Im just not sure if throwing a fan that is clearly rated for a higher cubic foot area than my tent is a good idea. I'v also thought about buying a small, plug-in ozone generator or air ionizer for the room, ran ever so sparingly.

I've included 3 pictures out of my setup including what I grow. The plant in the center is an autoflower that I grew to see what they where all about, its the one that reeks. The other 2 Master Kush, not really.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, i've been racking my brain around fans, filters and everything else. Want to get some real input before purchasing anything.

Sorry to step in. What tent is that?

Also, you can get baby carbon filters that will work with an inline! (Shouldn't take up to much room either) though you will need an intake if you run that or you'll get a terrible negative pressure environment!

Google stealth grow, some shops specialise in small growing space like cabinet or even PC. They will have a small carbon filter for you or point you in the right direction.

Peace

The Tent is a Lighthouse Hydro 30"x18"x36".

Cost me around 100$ w/ shipping. I love the thing.

So an inline with "baby carbon filters" would work fine, however I might need to used a booster fan to help with the ridiculous amount of negative pressure? By baby carbon filter, do you mean like a 4x8?

4 inch inline fan and filter that for that and you will work good. ozone generator i think is over kill for small grow room i see your therm is up high should be highth of plants

I'm curious how you will deal with the odor during harvest. Most tent odor control seems confined to the tent.

I usually dry everything in the same tent when it finishes while germinating the next round outside it. I don't know what im gonna do with the auto flower. I planned to make a box with an pc fan exhausting it with a filter attached. Witch I saw somewhere on the net earlier but I can't find it again. ... Argh.

Has anyone tried these fancy DIY looking setups from Foothill Filters? I did a little research and ppl have spoken pretty highly of this 130cfm filter/fan that I think would be perfect for my tent. The filter is also refillable.

I think this would be good to sit in the tent and scrub the air and have my other fan vent the tent.

You sir are my hero!!! I've been looking for a small tent for my mothers/clones thank you. :]

Yup the 4"x8"! They are awesome my hydro store just ordered in a couple (They arnt selling more for shits & giggles I guess) Though they do work and depending on your brand last for a long time. It'll be perfect for your tent!

Sorry I couldn't provide more information!

I found the ideal filter for my setup I believe.
http://www.hydroponics.net/i/136769
Phresh Filter Lo-Pro 125cfm. I hear Phresh is the way to go and this filter is perfect, not to small, not to big. Will avoid such a huge negative pressure in my little tent.

I belive this coupled with a 90-110 cfm bathroom fan(like what im currently using) from say Home Depot/Lowes would do the trick.
