What about like an ona?editdoesn't ona kill terps?
Ive been running perpetually for a year call me forest but didn't anticipate the difference blackstrap was going to make..
Moving a handful from the tent to the tub for a while Used to be fine. I just moved 1 and the whole house is iminient of imploding on itself.
I scrubbed the walls floor and some ceiling with Murphy oil soap, boiled water, and vinegar for a few hours the other day which helped incredibly. Ordered a 2nd viagrow 6 inch carbon filter even though the one I've used for a year is still 95% decent. Should get here in 5-10 days but think i need another bandaid until then. the whole loads finishing in 1-7 days and still need to shuffle them. Also febreezing window seals minimizing febre getting inside. Eating tons of bacon lately Feeling stressed lol :shock:

Mmmmm bacon....oh ...bac....damn OK ya I thought about running a filter in side the room the tents are in. Keep in mind you would need negative pressure in the whole room

Yeah you need to have the inline fan blowing air out of the tent with the carbon filter on the other side. Then you also need to keep the tent closed enough that there is a vacuum effect so that only clean scrubbed air will be exhausted out. If it were me when the second carbon activated filter setup arrived I'd also have that one exhausting out so that air is pulled in creating an even larger vacuum.

Yeah im doing filter>fan>light, can feel the suction at the intake when its zipped up all good but as soon as I open it Im praying my landlord doesn't wakeup 50 yards away :o
Cant really have the 2nd one venting outside in my situation, luckily i got a breeze coming from my landlord toward the room where it pushes the smell away but with positive pressure. Im thinking either having it continually scrub inside the tent without ducting so 2 are scrubbing or to put one in my smaller tent to temp hold the watered ones with runoff instead of the tub, shit idk itll work hopefully

Hey bro similar situation here. I've got a totally buttoned up tent with an 8" fan and scrubber, negative pressure, etc. but found that my wife could smell it from another floor if I simply had the tent open for more than a few minutes due to our HVAC fan re-circulating all the time. She basically evacuated for a few hours when I trimmed my first harvest. I've since installed a filtrete odor reduction carbon filter in the HVAC unit as a second layer of whole house defense and so far so good. I've been burping my jars regularly outside of my tent and not a single detection hah.

Here is a pic of what I'm talking about, was like $15 on amazon.
