Anyone use pouch type deodorizers to keep smell to a minimum?

Right now I'm trying to keep my grow on a tight budget, so I dont want to buy a huge carbon scrubber and fan system, just yet.

I have seen pouch type things saying they can clear up odors, I imagine they are the same as the carbon systems, just without the fixture or fan.

Something like this?

Smelleze™ General Purpose Deodorizer Pouch:

What do you guys think?
 
I have never tried it but all you can do is try and see for yourself. Can't hurt!!! On the other hand if smell is an issue you need to keep under-control SERIOUSLY then go with what you know will work.

smell isnt that much of an issue, i mean my roommate knows i grow and he helps me out, we live in a house with enough distance im sure my 3 little plants wont do anything, i just dont know if im going to like smelling it 24/7 and I really dont want my clothes to get stinky
 
In that case it will not hurt to try it out....during the flowering period your plants will smell, trust me, your clothes will smell like marijuana.

Go to home depot and pick up a Febreeze tru-air plug mount air cleaner.
They cost around $12, you can find them in the isle with all the big hepa filter air cleaners. The plug directly into an electrical outlet and have a small 3 inch fan inside. The remove the smell from the room with small replaceable carbon filters. The replacement filters cost around $4.99. I use two of them in my closet and really work great. They are suppose to be for small bathrooms when you have no exhaust fan. The filters can be removed and run under water to clean and will last you a little longer.

Thanks VS, I'm going to check that out. Any idea how long that lasts? I use something called ONA, odor neutralizing agent, from my hydro store but they're vaporizer is $55.
The ONA works pretty well just sitting in a container with holes in the top. I'm going to need something a bit heavier when the ladies start to flower and the skunks come home again.

They have a little timer inside you pop when you first start using them it then turns red when your suppose to buy a new filter. Again i just take out the filter run under really hot water for a couple of minutes and it seems to work no problem. The red indicator turn completely red in a month but thats just to get you to go buy a new filter. Depending on the number of plants I only have two females they seem to last the whole grow or just change out the filter for 4.99 (cheap enough) if you feel its neccesary. Again this is for a small grow in a closet. I dont think it would work as good with more than just a few plants. Hamilton Beach: (Click the link they are made by hamilton beach)
This says they last 4 months. They also have different types of carbon filters like for pet odors or smokers and such.

Jeez..maybe they have a filter for dope growers?
I have eight big plants, that might not be big enough.
Thanks

I would try like 3 of them around my eight plants and on the plus side you could get rid of your fan as these things put out a good bit of wind plus they are really quiet. I dont know but these are the best things i've found recently at home depot. Id give them a big thumbs up.
