Im looking for something at $150 or under that will completely remove the smell of 1 plant (Skunk #11) stored in a closet, which shouldnt be too hard to do.

What do you guys use and how well does it work? Any recommendations? Any ideas welcome.
Thanks,

do a search....but I think a carbon air scrubber or an air ionizer is what u need..not sure on cost....

The best way to remove smell from a room without spending loads of money is by either buying or for building an Ozone Generator.

Ozone contains three atoms of oxygen rather than the two atoms we normally breath. Ozone is the second most powerful sterilant in the world and its function is to destroy bacteria, viruses and odors in nature.
I havnt had the chance or need to build one yet; however, I do have a doccument on my hard drive describing the entire processes and I would be happy to post it if you want it at all.

Ahhh hell, why not post it anyway....

Ozone Generator Plans.
-------------------------------
Unbeatable for removing odours in growrooms etc. Very cheap, quick and simple to build.


This is a very simple set up that anyone can put together in five minutes after getting the parts. It works as well as the expensive units costing $600 or more but it costs only about $20 or so. The ones I made cost nothing it just depends on how good you are at scrounging. A good source for the transformer is a shop that repairs or installs neon signs. You can usually pick up a used one for next to zip. If you go past their dumpster you might see one for free.

Here are the plans:

First you need a neon sign or similar transformer at about 6000v. You need a small glass jar and a larger jar that will hold the smaller one. The larger jar can be glass or plastic, I have successfully used a plastic cup for the larger jar but the smaller one should be glass.
Lastly you need a small amount of aluminum foil and you may need a few short pieces of wire. The transformer can be as small as 3000v but the more the better up to a point. I use 7000v and that is plenty but you can use up to 15000v.

Put a small piece of aluminum foil (about 2" sq.) inside the small jar at the bottom. Cover the outside bottom of the small jar with foil so that it covers the same area as the foil inside. You can cover the whole inside and outside of the jar, that may work better but just make sure the inner and outer foil layers do not touch or come too close. Put the smaller jar inside the larger one. Connect one high voltage lead to the foil inside and the other to the foil outside.

The larger jar just insulates the whole thing. I would put the whole set up on a piece of wood or other insulator. Try not to cross the wires. The bare part of the wire must touch the foil. If the insulation on the wire makes it difficult or if the wires are too short, you may use some other wire to extend them. Be sure to keep the wires as short as possible you don't want to touch them they will give you a jolt.

Turn it on, you'll hear a crackling noise and if its dark you'll see a blue glow. If theres a short you may see an arc, just turn it off and separate the conductors so that they don't short out. The ozone will come out the top so don't plug it up. Ozone is a very powerful deodorizor it also tends to kill mold and bacteria but will not harm your plants. I try not to breath a lot of it though its not supposed to be dangerous in small amounts. I run it at the beginning of the dark period with a timer. I find 2 hours per day is enough but that will depend on your odor problem.

That's it, have fun.

Nah just get an Ionizer/ozone or descent Carbon Filter

Well this is a question that depends on where your grow room is in your house. If it is in an attic or top story, you can vent right out the rooftop! Making no smell at all to the outside world below. Second, always the ozongen. Third, I have heard of lining the room with coffee grounds is a successful way to remove the smell to others in the house. We grow underground, so don't worry to much about it. DO NOT USE INCENSE STICKS!

any good recommendations for an ionizer?

Pesci

if you are willing to put down the bucks, alpine makes an ozone generator and neg ion gen in one unit. They are on ebay all the time. I paid around $400 for mine.

The hydroponics store near my house sells ozonators for 110 bucks. They are long and thin and kinda look like those kiddie lightsabers u can buy that make noise.. without the long plastic tube of course. Find out if there is a hydroponics store near u by going to fearlessgardenerdotcom that's what I did...

good luck
