21 days old & stinks like crazy--what works to get rid of smell?

Jarhead · #1 05-20-2008, 05:56 AM

Stealth grow in jeopardy of discovery--HELP! My babies are only 3 weeks old but have already developed a strong case of skunk breath. I have a fish tank air pump that I use to exhaust my 22"X5'X8' "closet" grow area that I can't even let the wife know about. I actually built an entire addition (workshop) specifically to build a hidden grow room. I drilled a 2" hole in the floor to bring in cooler fresh air from crawl space. I have it on 6 hours a day but my kids are still smelling skunky. The seeds were from good seedbag green-bud. The odor is actually pretty good to me, but others won't be so pleased. What can I do to remove the odor quietly. I've been told to get something that comes in a tub that you just open the container and it does the work for you. Any input?

Can you imagine the combination of smells? Vanilla/skunk, strawberry/rodent, pole-cat/spring blossom....LOL. I need something to get rid of the smell, not make new smells, but thanks for the suggestion.

air freshener, ozone generator or carbon granule filter - more expensive but by far the best is the filter.

Lets face it, it is the smell that usually gives the game away and gets you busted - in the long run it is worth the outlay.

Yeah, you're right, the smell is always a killer---good or bad. What is the approximate cost of a carbon filter I would need for the size of my grow room?

There are plans in the DYI sub-forum for cheap DYI carbon filters, do a search.

As for the tub that you open up and it does the work for you, I saw one of those in a thread on rollitup. The thread was about a guy in Huston Texas getting caught, and it had pictures, and within the pictures it showed the tub you speak of. Ill see if I can find the thread and then ill post the picture.

Thanks jimmyspaz, I found what you were talking about. But it took a little time. I was searching for "DYI" and came up with nothing. Then I thought that you might mean "Do It Yourself--DIY" and I found the info, so thanks again. I noticed you found all my posts on the subject--good work...lol.

Thanks jackinthebox, I look forward to your re-post w/pic of "the tub".
