You wouldn't say that in a non-legal state.i like when my house reeks like weed
I got a big 8” phresh carbon filter and an 8” ac infinity duct fan in a 4x4 tent. It kills all the smel easily with fan operating at less than half speed. I have friends who don’t smoke weed and aren’t around it much. They cannot smell it even when in the room with the tent. Very impressed. The tent can be open and I really can’t smell anything unless I’m standing right near the doorYou should try incense or back flow incense cones. They work for me.
Does that mean you have to keep fan on 24 7 to keep negative pressure. I only have a 4inch in a 2x4. I will have to upgrade to a 6. My wife has a nose stronger than a bloodhound.

What a nice and informative thread! Thank you for this.Odour controlTaken from wikipedia -
So you want to know about odour control in the grow room.
This is just a list of the things you can use to control the odour.
You've got to realise before you start growing that your ganja is going to smell.
(If you live in a house with your parents, you best just wait it out till you get your own place. )
Here is a compiled list of helpful information to help you learn the knowledge that will help you to become a good grower.

The carbon filter.
"Carbon filtering is a method of filtering that uses a piece of activated carbon to remove contaminants and impurities, utilizing chemical adsorption. Each piece of carbon is designed to provide a large section of surface area, in order to allow contaminants the most possible exposure to the filter media."
A carbon filter works by removing "the smell" from the air that passes through it.
Place a fan so that it's blowing (or pulling ) air through a carbon filter/scrubber.
It's that simple!
You can buy them from most good Hydroponic stores, as well as online. (eBay etc.)
The most common questions asked when anyone talks about a carbon filter is the following :
Can't i get it cheaper than in the store?
The answer is YES!
DIY Carbon filters
Below is a list of links to useful DIY carbon filters that people have made themselves.
Remember these are tried and tested and the people who have made them swear they work well for their needs.
( Just remember to take into account that your needs may be different. )
I will be updating this list as more are found/made.

ONA gel.
( Taken from ONA Gel odor neutralizer from 4 hydroponics.com by Growco Indoor Garden Supply. )
"Two odors can offset one another when they combine to form a bond. ONA's ingredients come from a blend of 32 essential oils and plant-derived compounds, that bond with and neutralize a wide array of pesky odors.
ONA odor neutralizer was originally developed for industrial applications to neutralize the strong odors in sewage treatment plants, rendering plants and chemical plants. If it can handle those conditions, think what it can do for you!"
ONA gel works by "killing" the smell.
( used in a grow room on a regular cycle. )
Hopefully this will stop a lot of questions asking the same things.
I started this to get the ball rolling.
I know a lot is missing.

You suck
What are the dims of your tent? and CFM of your fan? how old (and what type) is the carbon filter?I have a question that might be best answered here. I'm trying to figure out why my lung room stinks to hell or high water about 2-3 hours before my tent's lights out? Once the lights go off the smell is gone.
I have an 8" fan and filter on the outtake with another 8" scrubber outside the tent. They never run past 40%.
My theory is that it has something to do with transportation and humidity, but but other than that I'm kinda stumped.
any thoughts? Tips? Advice? Thanks!
D brand but you want a bigger filterWhat do you guys think of Phresh filters? I'm thinking of buying one because the cheaper one I have doesn't do very well now in late flower. Size: 4 inch. Thanks.

800 x 60 = 48,000 / 256 = 187.5 ACH if running full - running at 25% you still have around 49 ACH. There isn't a carbon filter out there that can keep up with that. For proper carbon "dwell time" ACH should be around 10-15. The amount of air you have rushing through that carbon filter isn't allowing it to scrub the odor properly.Its an 8x4. The 8" fan has a max cfm of around 800, but it is set to only run 20%-50% speed. The filter is rated 950cfm.
Theres a 6" intake with hepa filter box too.
This is true. Carbon is ruined quickly by moisture. A poly-felt wrap around the carbon canister can help quite a bit though.They don't work well in high humidity.
