Ok so, I'm going to be setting up my grow room in my bedroom's closet.. The closet is 6'lx 7'w x8'h and I'm worried about the smell, I live in a city with close neighbors and I live with the grandparents.. I'm not worried about them stumbling upon the plants, because I have the door barricaded with a probably 300 pound bookshelf that I can hardly move myself.. IM not worried about moving it every day, but I'm worried about the smell attracting the grand parents.. Obviously ill probably have to get a strain that isn't reputable for it's strong scent (such as skunk) and I'm worried about the smell being detected from any leaks into the house with me opening the door and such.. I have an active carbon air filter, I don't know what size it is, but it looks about 2' long.. I'm planning on attaching an inline squirrel cage fan with the output attatched to the filter so that it pulls air from the room and into the filter and then evenly distributed from the small pores of the filter so that there isnt a concentrated stream of air blowig in the room.. unless that would be better? what do yall think? the most ill have is 4 plants in heavy bloom, will this be enough to rid the smell entirely..? Or should I add more to kill the smell? What rating fan should I get? (Cubic feet per min) because I know that for the rooms exhaust I should find the cubic feet of the room and then multiply however many times a min to flush the room, but since there is a drag of the moving air because of the active carbon filter, how much more should I increase the cf/m of the fan? Also ill be setting up my exhaust in the ceiling for heat, into the attic, and the intake lower in the wall.. Since hot air rises and cold is lower..
Ill have a 400w hid with air cooling through it (it's own intake& exhaust) and then the rooms regular intake and out take.. Will I have to put another carbon filter to the rooms exhaust? Or could I hang the carbon filter next to the exhaust so that it's kinda sucking some clean air but not completely?
also, is there any way that I can use a different scent similar to the strength of cannabis that I can use to test everything out? It would suck to go and spend a bunch of money on a set up and putting forth all the efforts to have to put the babies to rest before they even produce anything because the smell is too strong..
And what does everyone know about negative ion generators? Are they worth usin in my bedroom to try and mask any leaked smell? (Won't be putting in the grow room directly with plants) also what ones are best? What negative ion output would be enough to suffice? I've seen readings such as like several millions per squared centimeters? Can anyone tell me what they know about this or redirect me to somewhere that has already had these questions?
