Man, these Bodhi strains have it STINKIN outside my house. I already replaced my carbon filterSSSSSSS twice this flower period. Never had this problem before. :( I have a big ass can fan exhausting the grow cab and another little one scrubbing the air in the room the grow cab is in.

Further, there is an Air conditioner exchanging air from the room to outdoors.


I don't know wtf to do? Got me totally bummed out. I live in very close proximity to my neighbors and I live on a road that is frequented by pedestrians all day. :O

The air conditioner. It's your culprit I think. That's unfiltered right there. Depends on what kind it is of course. Not sure how you would fix that problem exactly since I assume you sorta depend on it - especially now that it's warming up. If it's a portable in room then you might be able to hook a carbon filter up to the exhaust with some duct tape and whatever else you can think of.

The ozone in the room might help too as suggested.

Which strains are you runnin from him again?

@OGEvilgenius I'm running the UW Black and A35 x '88 g13/hp. I also have a few Dynasty CCK and Greenpoint in there but I know it's the Bodhi because of the way it smells down there. Sweet, danky, fruity funk.


Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm off to the hydro store in a couple hours when it opens to see if they have an ozone generator.


If not, I might just try to run 2 out of 3 lamps for the rest of the grow, alternating which one is off for a few hours a day each. It's still fairly cool and I'm in a basement so this may allow me to get away with not using the A/C.

Also this A35 is very similar to the C99 I grew from PSBC. The speed, the smell and the structure of the plant. Floppy and needs support @ week 6.


It's got that sweet upfront smell with a gross funk aftertones.

Ozone generators do serve It's purpose but sure draws attention. Your area always smelling like lightning bolts ionized the air. Better off Stealth wise to exhaust bacon grease or stategically place ona spray emitters.

Ha! That's a good way of describing the smell. I used to run one and it always smelled like static electricity to me.

I've heard they're not so great for your health either if you're in the general vicinity breathing it in.

The exact same thing happened to me with my last Bodhi selections and it pretty much contributed to my wife telling me to shut her down..

I did get it under control so that I could see them to the finish..

It took four carbon filters! I made an airtight box with two of them so that one sucked up the others exhaust and had another one in the center of my area, outside of my cabs hung from the ceiling and another just outside of that room. Not even overkill.

That Nepali OG X Good Meds is the most pungent smelling plant I have ever ran across. The pheno that I have smells like heavily orange fruity pebbles with an intensely buttery and smooth OG all the way type flavor that sticks in your nose and throat. I am really hung over right now and she helps soo much more than the SSDD

When I first started I never used a filter and man did it reek outside the house. Luckily I wasn't too paranoid back then.. but eventually things changed and everything got bigger and I started doing some research on filters. From what I seen most filters would take a lot/most of the smell away but people would still have problems with really smelly strains or their filters would only last a short time.

I finally decided to either get a Can filter or a Phresh, and I got the 6x24 phresh filter. I must say I am impressed, they last a long time and I have never had a smell issue since. I have had 1 filter in a room with multiple lights for awhile now and you can tell it works great. My first filter is still in use as well, it is a bit dated - probably 2+ years old or so and I use it on the veg room and it keeps up. Here soon I will probably buy a new one and switch them around again just to be on the safe side. I don't like taking chances with smell.

I am not saying that you will like them as well as I do, but I doubt I ever get anything else since this works so well for me. I was skeptical at first how well they would work. But I can stand right outside the grow room door and smell nothing! But as soon as I open that door it reeks, and if I keep it open for a few minutes it starts to smell the whole house up. I think anyone that gets a filter large enough for their space and keeps negative pressure in the room will be fine if they stick with good brands like Phresh, or Can. I think mine was $140 shipped - worth the piece of mind to pay the little extra for one of these over the cheapos. I mean what is an extra $50 or so to upgrade to a good filter over the others? And if you guys have tried Phresh and it didn't work for you then I would have to say your room probably didn't have negative pressure (more air blowing out then is being sucked in). But anything is possible I guess.

Negative pressure is definitely necessary for your filter to even make a dent. I have had my current can fan filters for about 6+ months, just bought one 3 months ago for my new tent. They are still going strong but I did just buy new prefilters for my 2 older ones because I can not afford to have them not be effective. And just looking at how dusty they are I can tell you its gonna help them get more air flowing.

Gonna need it too becauseI take down some of the blueberry hashplants tonight, 64 days of 12/12 :bigjoint:


Does your phresh filter have the reversible end deal? Kinda an appealing feature of their newer filters is that after a while of use you can flip which side the flange is on to extend the life of the filter, which when you think about it makes sense but how much idk which is why I am asking.

Yeah I've got negative pressure in the grow cab. Only 1 exhaust fan(with the can 66) with passive intake.

And I'm using the Original Can Fan brand filters. I didn't make it to the hydro store today but I'll be going very soon either way to explore these other options.

My money got there last friday and they didnt send it out til wednesday..which is odd for them but whatev got my mothers milk, space cake, and nierika freebies so I am happy. Just wish I sent in money for that disco biscuit but there were only 15 packs of that.

So I'm sending my order into SVoC tomm. I think I'm going with Sky Lotus and SSDD also would like the ttnl#6 x appalchia as a freebie. I've always wanted the nl#5 so maybe I'll find some dankity dank dank in there! Here's a pic or two of my mexi bagseed or I'm not really sure where it came from I just know it was compressed with a indica knock out stone. The one with holes in the fan leaves was attacked during a two night period by earwigs, they were straight eating the hell out of it so I had to take measures!
