Carbon Scrubbers are the way to go. I know they are expensive but I can sleep good at night knowing if in the unlikely event a cop were to come to my door he wouldn't smell a thing. You get a big enough fan and a good size scrubber and you're set. ![]()

Check Norml.com Wanted to clear that up.I have a stealth dresser w/ a 250W HPS in the attick. I have had 1 flowering K2 and now starting a Mazar. I use an activated carbon filter on the inside of my bathroom fan (fan sucks through filter) and blow the air out. It seems to work pretty well. Downside to Carbon Filter comes when I have to turn off the box for noise reasons. The filter no longer works and it gets stinky real fast I will also supplement w/ Carpet Pet Deoterizer when she is later in flower. | |||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | in my 5x6x9 room, i have two carbon scrubbers running on bathroom exhaust fans.. alternating and intermitent. one is 1-1.5ft long and the other 1.5-2ft long. both running at 70 cfm each. some smell does ecape but very little. eventually i plan on changing the bathroom exhaust fans for the quieter 4" can-fan. pricey but i will only need one.

undefinedundefinedundefined Lights CF's & a few 300w on a handmade ballast. soil grow- 9 plants about to determine the sex of the plants. The odor control I am using is a neg ion from sharper image. It seems to work ok until I started changing the lighting to a higher watt. Of course HPS would be ideal, I need more $$$ so one has to start somewhere to learn. I was looking into carbon for air control and perhaps may build something too. Any ideas on what would be cost effective? If there is no odor, I am able to grow year round with no problems in a room of 10x8. ![]() | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Started with nothing, smelled great! Both good and bad. ![]() Went to ONA gel. Great stuff! Had a plesant smell that covered up both growing plants and three guys living together. After it ran out, went to nothing again and have been lucky as the smell has been non-existant but the stoniness is going strong. Finally got a carbon filter. Works great. I think the ONA gel was probably about the best in terms of cost vs smell control. Grown various numbers under about 2000 watts from 6 to 30. If you want more info you can always check my GJ.
