Hanging Coke cans in your grow room?

**Green Troll** · 06-13-2012, 10:11 AM

While researching using YouTube, i watched a video of a busted grow house and i noticed something i havent seen before.

At 1:08, you see Coke cans hanging underneath a carbon filter. Does anyone know what this is for? I would love to know if this is an interesting tip or trick to pest control or something. The only thing i can think of is if bugs get sucked onto the filter, they crawl down the cable and get attracted to the sugar content of the can and get trapped or something. I really dont know. I have tried googling it but you google "coke" with grow room or cannabis, you just get loads of results on drugs we are not interested in =)

Thanks guys.

i dont know mate, maybe to judge the airflow or maybe to make sure the filter is sitting flat... watch those vietnamese, theyre resourceful mofos, i wouldnt analyse it too much lol

actually you make a good point about pest control, coke cans are a handy way of catching flies and wasps, dont know if theyd be a good tool against mites... that would definately be handy.

I know what it is for - they put Ona gel (or equivelent) in them so that the air being sucked out of the grow has been freshened even further. It stops the smell of the ona from overpowering the inside of the grow tent/etc as the ona smell is being extracted straight away.

I scratched my head over that one aswell, seen the vid. I found it very interresting seeing that vid in particular because it is a Vietnamese OP. That weed is everywhere in the UK (as u may know), and it is horrible smoke. The only missing part of the puzzle is - what strain do they grow?
