Best deodorant to cover growing marijuana smell

Frebreeze will ruin the terps of your finished product, stop using it.
Activated charcoal filter, inline with an exhaust is the only real option for you.

Best of luck.
Peace

Right now im doing a closet grow in my bed room, no tent w/ vents or anything like that. The only way i can think of "blocking" the smell is shutting the closet doors, but then it would get way too hot.. :/

Do yourself a favor and invest in a small carbon filter. If you are growing in an actual closet that is not some crazy huge area, a cheap carbon filter should handle it. Even if its not in a tent and still in small closet area, 190cfm would be excessive and still draw air into it. Seal it off (weather stripping), smaller carbon filter, and if its in an actual closet, make keys for it to insure that no one gets to it.

Just please do not vent ,warm ,moist air in your attic if its cold or youll get a big surprise if you live in a dry warm place dont worry

Just get the smallest one you can, spend your money on getting a quiet fan. The small diameter fans can be quite noisy. Trust me 40db+ and you get scared to turn on the fan. There are models that can do 10s and 20s db

He makes a good point about stealth.

If its a small grow a bathroom type fan can be more normal house sounding .

then hook it up to a scrubber

As always with indoor growing the answer is, take out your wallet and throw it at the problem.

What the hell, I don't golf.

I'm going to try an ozone generator in my bathroom grow. You can get an bath room UV/ozone generator for ~$35 on amazon that should deal with the smell of a closet grow.

Not sure if one thats small would do much .
And i never liked the thought of a bigger one as i heard the ozone can damage things

If you're even remotely handy just build yourself one of these. If it's too big for your liking just buy a smaller fan and bucket. Or improvise with a smaller round rubbermaid trash can.
Don't get the biggest Honeywell fan cause it won't fit in the bucket. It looks like it will but it won't.
Drop into the pet store and get some aquarium carbon or Ammo Carb for it (Google it for reference) Look for the little white pebbles. Don't cheap out and get the normal stuff cause it's 2-3 bucks less. Won't work.
6-8 weeks into flower you won't smell it in the next room. Around an inch of the carbon on the screen is the sweet spot. You'll get good air flow through it.
Just build it and turn it on 10 or so days after flip. The carbon should get you through an entire 10 week flower cycle and three of the cardboard containers will get you through 2 grow cycles easily (about 60% will give you enough for a 5 gallon bucket) If you build a smaller one you can stretch that more.
Just have it blow onto something you can easily sweet up before tossing it into your room. There's some black sandy/gritty carbon dust covering the carbon that'll blow off onto the ground the first time you turn it on.

Also don't use Ozone around your plants in flower like people have stated. The ozone spray works really well for around the house spot spraying though before company comes over. It just pushes out a tiny bit. Stuff's potent.
And most head shops have really awesome smoker's candles. Look for anything cinnamon. It'll overpowers dope pretty well. Just light that badboy up an hour before they come over for good measure.
Or if you want a sure fire way for really cheap that'll mask any remaining smells and not look shady then go to Walmart and grab one of those wax melt burners over where they usually have candles and stuff.
Max melt burner + tealights + cinnamon wax melts will for sure mask any remaining smells.

you can do what is called "scrubbing" you get a inline fan and carbon filter and recirculate the air, i recommend you exhaust if possible, you would need to run a short ventilation, does that closet connect to an attic by chance? venting is actually fairly easy...

Sorry got a question again lol (thanks for the help by the way) Now if i was unable to get the exhaust to the attic, you said "recirculate the air", now do you mean just recirculate it around in the room? like have the upper fan going (as well as others) and just "spin" it around in the room?

Yankee Candles ,Glade Plug in's too .There Great for getting rid of the Smell and last a Good amount of Time.
But a Decent Filter ,There should not be No smell ,Has long has the Room,is Air Tight.I have Not much smell from my room,I have people coming and going all the time,your room has something wrong if there smelling the Bud that is growing,You can tell the difference,with Bud for smoking and Bud in flower growing once you been doing it a few year,do you agree.I have been in loads of houses that i know for sure there growing not just smoking,I never say anything.But ,sometimes i feel like saying ,you need to sort your filter out ,But don't want them to become Paranoid.I have a Room with In a Room,I have started to even Prune up in side my grow room,While filters on ,Just because of the smell,This is the time when your most at Risk,when growing In a Country where its Illegal.

Thanks for the reply!

The two best brands of filter I've found are canna and phresh. You can get away with a 4" fan/filter combo for a small grow.

And yes, you can recirc air through the filter. Basically you just exhaust the filtered air back into the room. I do this in the winter; it helps recycle the heat and humidity - both of which are lacking in a new england basement grow. In the summer I vent it outside through a simple dryer vent.

Note that just venting the air outside without filtering it will just move the smell. When my duct fell off my tent filter, my yard reaked. I knew right away.

I use Rhino Filter ,Not that much to buy but works great,I replace it about every 3 year ,The sleeve every Grow

Awesome! Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it! Ill check those brands out!

Can you use a carbon filter if you just set it next to the plant? Or do you need a vent setup to do that?

Try a air mist freshener, it comes in a spray tin,it doesn't leave a wetness on carpets etc and it has a very potant strong smell that lasts longer than wet air fresheners,, but still I agree with the above....carb filter etc.
