Odor control?

Does anyone know if this would be ideal for a 2x2x6 area around 3 to 4 plants? I have a 70cfm bathroom fan in the celing but the exhaust is in the attic not in the actuall room.


Product Details
The time-mist dispenser is an advanced metered aerosol-dispensing system, with Command Performance, lets you customize usage. It works with Ona Aerosol and Ozium products. Save money by setting start/stop time, plus spray interval (light, medium, heavy) for fragrance levels. Or, set switch ON for automatic spraying every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, for 30 days. Visual (LED) and audible (beeps) signals indicate fragrance refill and/or battery need replacement. Operates one year on two C-sized batteries (not included). 3-3/4w x 3-1/4d x 9-1/2h.

I don't think that is going to work -- and if it does, it isn't very practical. All that will do is spray a fragrance that will try and cover up the bud smell. The bud fragrance will still be there.

You would be better going with some sort of device that targets the aromatic molecules directly, such as an ionizer or carbon scrubber.

I used air wicks but also had a carbon scrubber, you should get some ONA blocks if you can't afford a carbon scrubber.

I wouldn't want that stuff spraying on or near my buds. Might make u sick

Stick to the basics, in my opinion. Having a smelly plant can get you busted, and it really isn't worth trying some cheap Target version. Go with the tried and true methods, anything less will put your ass on the line. Carbon scrubbers are clearly the best. I have had great sucess with Ozone generators as well, although I only use them with the carbon scrubber. Never used an ionizer before, but only because I heard it uses negativly charged ions to attack the smells and drag them to the bottom, to be vaccumed up later. I could be wrong about this, but I wanted to get rid of it, not vacum it up every other day.

You can make yourself a DYI carbon filter that works great for about $25.

Cool, I found it... https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/7074-easy-build-diy-carbon-filter.html Get'r done...

If i use the Ozium that wont work?


My room is 2x2x5.5 so 70 cfm should be ok.....plus i never turn it off runs 24/7.

The fan is installed in the ceiliing therfore the exhauste is in the attic........

If i made a carbon filter for that size of fan would it do the job?
or would i need the scrubber in the actually grow room?

I don't exhaust my room, only pump airconditioning it. So I just have a scrubber in the room. If you have an exhaust then you would need the carbon filter there and yes I do beleive if you made one for whatever size it would work.

i have air conditioning too. I thought a scrubber and a filter where the same?

Do i not need an exhaust if i already have cold air?

one more Question? if the filter is in the attic what about my actuall apt like if my parents came up to vist would the filter (in the attic) kill the smell from them?

I use scrubber and carbon filter interchangably. I don't use an exhust. I only use my air conditioner to bring fresh, cold air in. There is a fan on my light and my DYI carbon filter in the room. You can't smell anything in the room, unless you start shaking the plants or something like that. So beyond my room the smell is totally cool.

I thought a carbon filter or scrubber(still unclear on the differ?) has to be hooked up to somekind of exhaust on a fan?

Personally I have never used JUST an air conditioner. As such, I have always needed to use an exhaust system in order to remove the hot air. Already stating that I have never done it, I can't say if it would work just using an air conditioner with no exhaust. Others on here seem to say it will work. But personally I wouldn't recomend it. If you are bringing fresh air in, how does the old air get out? As a general rule, I look at my ladies as ... well ladies, and not as plants. I put myself in the same situation that they are in and ask if I would like it. Option A) a small room with moderate warmth, not too hot, not too cold, plenty of nutrients, with fresh air .... or option B) same as above, only istead of having an open window just having an AC unit. Personally I would choose option A to live in, but that's just me, so that's what I subject my ladies to. Again, just me.

As far as I know, scrubber and filter can be used interchangably. And no, it doesn't have to be hooked up to an exhaust fan per say. You only need to get air to pass through it. Exhaust fans seem to work the best, but I have seen pictures of people taking $10 box fans and ductaping a home made scrubber to it, and have heard it works fine. Again, I never have done it, only heard it works. As long as you get the stinky air to go into the scrubber/filter then the clean air will go out.

If you are worried about parental visits, as long as the scrubber/filter isn't self contained in only the grow area (i.e. a box fan with a cardboard scrubber attached to it, sitting in the grow room and taking air from inside the room and moving it through the filter then putting it back in the room) then you should be fine. But that's just what I think. I perfer to shell out the extra $$$ for profesionally made carbon scrubbers with profesional exhaust fans. Just me though. I figure it's alot less expensive to spend $300 on a professionally made carbon scrubber and fan than it is to spend $25 on a home made one, then the additional $1000 in lawyers fees, $1500 in court costs, and $3000 in fines once I get caught with it. To me, I'd rather spend the $300 than the $5525. But maybe it's just peice of mind I'm paying for. Either way I'll take it.

same her man. i use an air conditioner that has a carbn filter and have it exhausting from my growspot to myappartment but heat especially inthe summer kills but the heat is worth being safe and shut your windows and block them out. you will be fine just dont have people overcause it will smell lik bd on the inside off your place but not on theout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! god luck bro it will be the first of many problems. im still dealing with shit on myfirst time

First off i really appreciate you guys helpin me out! and i think im going to go with what specialkayme said i dont want a cheap ass set up hell thats why i started becasue i want the best!

Some things you can build like a hydro set up or your grow room but when it comes to covering your ass its best to really make sure your fully covered.



jew: i was kinda of thinking with the exhaust being outside the room that the smell would only be contained on the outside


well looks like im goin to have 2 carbon scrubbers, once again another added expense!

expensive doesn't mean better... I'm telling you, you don't have to exhaust if you have your temps under control. The carbon filter fitted with a fan to ensure the fan sucks air through the carbon filter will clean the smell from your area and beyond.

Yeah well i already have a 70cfm in the ceiling so im going to just make a filter myself.

but your saying i can just use any ol fan i mean what type of fan will work?

I bought a 120v fan from radio shack. It looks like a computer fan, but 120v. Then I cut a square of some metal, cut a hole in it. Took an empty can o tomatoes, cut it in half. Jb welded the top side of the can to the sheet of metal. Did the steps for the DYI filter and used the bottom half of the can for my cap. Finally screwed the fan to the sheet of metal, put a little silicon around the fan and metal to ensure a seal, good to go. So if you wanted you could add another fan or probably use the suction from your existing fan in the ceiling. Just fit the carbon filter to the vent nice and sealed.

a can of tomatoes thats fuckin small as hell right?
im thinking of a can like a can of soup?

ooo or is the can the size of the fan intake or diameter of the blades?

It was a big fat can o like stewed tomatoes or something like that. correct, you want the can to be as close to the diameter of the fan/ opening.
