Carbon scrubber or other odor cleanser.

Ive been looking at options for odor control and I like the carbon filters, but all of them seem to be the type thats attached to a grow box. I was wondering if a carbon filter with an attached fan pulling air into the filter just sitting in a room would be an effective way to clean the odor.

yea you dont have to attach it bra. alot of people dont even hang theirs, they just let it sit.

Sveet. How effective is a carbon filter? Will a high powered fan completely eliminate the smell.

Lets say I have a 10x10 room with a regular closet with 6 bitches and a 200cfm carbon filter in the room, with the closet door and the room door open to a condo. Right now I just leave the door open cause it doesnt stink and I dont want heat pouring out the single window, so I let my air conditioning mix with the heat coming out of the room. My ideal situation, is that I can leave this door open, even when the stank comes (x6) with carbon filters and effectively completely elimintate the odor. Im a noob, is this possible? Im even down to use like 2 carbon filters + ionic breeze (to generate some ozone as well)

lol thoes things arnt cheap man it really depends on how much your willing to spend
and Id say they do a purty good job at dissipating the smell, but they dont take the smell away compleatly

WOW MAN YOU HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH IT GETTING STINKY, WELL FOR ONE KNOW MATTER WHAT YOU DO, IT WILL STINK, A CARBON SCRUBBER WORKS GREAT BUT WATCH THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY, CASUE THEN THEY DON'T WORK SO GREAT
TRY AN. OZONE JR. MADE BY C.A.P., WORKS AWSOME AND GET A SCRUBBER WITH A GOOD BLOWER, OH AND SOME DUCTING..
NOW STEP ONE, STICK THE OZONE.JR IN THE DUCT JUST AT THE BLOWER EXIT POINT, IN OTHER WORDS WHERE THE AIR BLOWS OUT AFTER IT HAS BEEN PASSED THRU THE FILTER.
STEP TWO, RUN THE DUCT TO A WINDOW OR WHAT NOT AND VENT, NOW THE JR. PUTS OUT IT'S FAIR SHARE OF o3 BUT NOT LIKE IT'S BIG BROTHER SO YOUR GOOD ON THE HARMFUL SETBACK, O.K. SO THE LOGIC IN THIS IS SIMPLE, THE STINKY AIR GETS SUCKED INTO THE FILTER AND PASSES THRU THE OZONE, THRU THE DUCT AND BY THE TIME IT GETS BLOWN OUT THE WINDOW OR WHAT EVER YOU WONT SMELL SHIT.
HOPE THIS HELPS HAPPY GROWING AND POST SOME PIC'S.

you say your room is 10 x 10 what is the hight 8? need to know your cubic feet to see if your fan is enough to create the proper negative pressure to pull smells out before bying all the extras.

Yeah Id recommend you set somethin up so you can be sure everything exiting the room doesnt smell. From there, yeah you could play around with an independent fan circulating air but it wont be nearly as helpful

Click to expand...

you got it 10x10x8

If you do this calc, can you also include the formula ! =)

10 x 10 x 8 = 800 cubic feet. you need minimum a 800 cfm fan. or divide your room in 2 and use 2 fans is what i would do. i have a 450 cfm fan that i paid 80 bucks for used and it works awesome. i also have a speed control on it. dont forget you will need some extra cfm on the fan size to allow for back pressure from filter

Run ona gel in your flowering rooms as well---it does help

does that stuff realy work. i was thinking about giving it a try for a small project

bonz- I just started using ONA because I use a cabinet that is fully sealed and scrubbed, but when I open her up to water the smell is blasted out from the circulation fans.....thus enter the ONA. I would say that it does a great job of masking the odor but I can always get a small hint or skunk when I breath in real deep. I'm guessing that 90% of people would think it smelled like the laundry room and then all of us potheads would be like sniff sniff sniff I think I smell something good and weird. Its good though, i think worth the money.

thx. i just want to try it on a couple small set ups i have going without a filter. a veg thing for breeding

I picked up ona liquid ----50 to 1 ratio(mix with water)-so it will go along way---going to mix it up and run it in my humidifier.

anyone know if that stuff is organic or what is actualy in it.

ive been trying to deal with odor control too. growin in my basement no windows or anything to vent out of :X i dont know what to do. ive tried videos bucket method it works for a day with pinesol. but i cant find ona or soil moist anywhere... any help??? especially with ona where can i get this shit ive looked at ALOT of places

hydro stores. pine sol? you need a filte dude unless you only have a couple little ones. even my 2 burmese i hace stink my house and i have them running through a carbon cloth tripled up and a bathroom fan pulling it. i want to try it to supplement my small set up not control it totaly.

yeah lol pinesol. you are supposed to use a 5 gallon bucket.. add soil moist + ona (he said pinesol worked if you dont hae ona) you then put a little round muffin fan on top of the bucket. supposed to pull in weed smell and blow out ona smell or pinesol if your me lol. it does work but w/o the soil moist doesnt last long.. and ona supposed to work better but i have no hydro stores around here and have no clue where to get it. as far as a filter there is no way possible for me to do that... i dont have anywhere to filter it to. im screwed i know but i have to come up with something... i have 8 plants but 3 are guys im getting rid of today so i dunno any help would be great and gl to you bonz

where does your exhaust go now?

?? i dont have an exhaust the only thing i may be able to do is that i have a dryer vent down there with a little hole going to the outside.. this might work but i dunno :X the only way to get outside down there is a cellar door that goes from outside to basement but i can really utilize this b/c i live in a duplex so my neighbor may use this to get outside.. my plants are really smelling but it doesnt come up into my house or get outside the only prob is it seeps over to my neighbors basement a lil he said he can smell a little mary when hes in the basement lol. if he was living here for the rest of my grow no problemo but hes moving out in a week and will be getting new neighbors lol. im screwed
