The Ultimate Odour Control Thread

[bongrippinbob]

If you want something that is tested, and you know will work, I'd say go with a pre built one. If you don't mind doing a little experimenting with CFMs, carbon bed size, etc, then you can build one for much cheaper.

Most of the people that don't get good results from the homemade ones are people that didn't experiment at all. They built one, ran their fan through it, it didn't work, so it sucks. It could have just been too much carbon, too little carbon, too much CFM, etc.

So like I said, if you want something that will work pretty much perfect, buy a pre made filter. If you like to tinker, adjust, test, etc, then build yourself one. The homemade ones are built with the same design as the expensive ones, so if made correctly, they will work just fine.

Hey, if anybody could answer this that'd be great, cause i gotta get started on my grow. I was thinking about using a whisperline fan and having a 2'' tray full of carbon ontop of the intake of the fan. International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - Panasonic Whisper Fan Carbon Scrubber Tutorial: Quietest most efficient fan ever!. But should i go with the 80cfm fan or the 110 fan because i want to have my fan oneside of my grow cab, and on the exhaust of the fan i want to connect it to my hood to cool my 600w hps and then about 3' of duct to the outside of my cabinet. Do you guys think that this fan set up will be able to cool my light? any help would be great, thanks

I'm also curious to hear of anyone's experience with the Ionic Breeze. I picked up 4 of the mid-size units on Craigslist for $80. I have two outside of the cab, and then the other two just out in the apt. Seems to be working extremely well so far, about 3 1/2 weeks into flowering, but I want to know how they'll hold up in another month or two.

Anybody else use these before?

scrubber, ozone generator, odor neutralizing agent.... otherwise your fam will know what's up... might figure it out anyways.

Be careful if you're considering using an ozone generator. Ozone can be dangerous.

hey guys, iv built myslef a frame for a carbon filter and all i need now is some carbon. i was told that i could buy carbon at pet stores but it was about 8$ for a small milk carton sized amount. i am looking to get around 10L or about 3Galons for my 500cfm blower. iv seen several differant sights online that sell a wide selection of carbon. could anyone recomend a good sight online that would ship to canada? and what type of carbon would be best for my filter?

 

[t0k3]

If it's being recomended u should figure it works on at least one
plant

Carbon filters are the way to go, just make sure you don't have leaks in the ducting leading to the filter, and if you DIY make sure to seal it up well.

 

[iloveit]

Great thread Ill try making a home made DIY carbon filter soon.

ahl has a really good inexpensive inline ozone generator, www.ahlgrows.com not spamming, just i use the non inline one.

i been using a odorsock on my grow this time. last time i grew with no odor control what so ever in a cupboard in my parents house. the smell got so out of hand i had to cut my babys early meaning i lost out on yeild and the chance for couchlock (which i wanted). at first the odorsock was attached to the intake (pulling air through it) which for some reason was not affective but know it is attached to the outtake pushing air through it and is now removing 95% of odours with just a bit of smell lingering in the tent itself.

people should think about odour control as one of the first thing,s to get right as it could cost you later down the line

 

[bongrippinbob]

The reason you odorsok didn't work while pulling through it was probably because your fan, which I am going to guess is a blower and not an inline fan, has a second hole it sucks air through as well as the main one. So when you were sucking through it, it was pulling some air through the odorsok, but some was also coming straight from the cab. A lot of people have this problem when pulling through their filter. Your odorsok will last about 2 grows before needing to be replaced. I got told they would last a year if you washed them, but washing did nothing but ruin the filter.

I have heard people talk about odor killing CFLs....Have not used them but perhaps another choice?
