Odor

**SmokeN'Toke** · 12-07-2010, 12:57 AM

Hey guys, i'm a new grower. I'm pulling a stealth operation...i'm on a college campus, only growing two plants for now. I'm looking to keep the smell contained in my room. I have a couple fans which should help. But for now i'm trying to keep it cheap. I'm growing an auto flowering strain should take about 6 weeks. I was thinking about getting Ona Gel. Some people it smells terrible, which I wouldn't want because obviously that would draw suspicion to...and then others say it smells fine. Is there a certain type I should get? Also, how long will it last for should I maybe get an extra one? If anyone has any tips at all to keep the odor contained it'd be great if you could post them. Thanks.

Contained in what? A grow box? or a closet? Use a carbon filter if its a box/cab.

agreed carbon filter is the way to go. Then ONA as your back up.

You could look at air ionisers too.

Its not that ona smells terrible or good its that it smells extremley strong and makes it pretty obvious that your hiding something, like its great for if u just smoked a j and ur parents are stopping by in like 10 minutes but for plants definetly get the carbon filter

Carbon filter and some incense/candles for the occaisonal person who shows up unannounced.

I get that. I'm growing in a closet, I was going to put the Ona Gel outside on my desk. Carbon filters are fairly expensive, aren't they?

Carbon filters on their own are reasonably priced. The reason it gets pricey is that you need to duct it away using an inline fan and ducting etc this is where the cost comes into play.

Okay I gotcha. I just thought maybe it'd be a better idea to get that when I grow more seriously. Above someone said the strong smell could draw suspicion. I've seen Ona Gel online that supposedly smells like linen...so that would probably be fine, right? How long would Ona Gel be effective for? Remember I only need to worry for about 6 weeks.

Also, even though it's not a carbon filter, i'm probably going to get an air purifier. It clears the air in the room 5 times an hour. Any thoughts on that?

if its an air ionizer then it will definately help.

But the only true way to help smell is carbon filter.

ONA is ok BUT!!!! it will not cover you completely , like i mentioned above ONA is a backup plan. A friend of mine had small tubs with little amounts of ONA in every room in his house used carbon filters to exhaust and also put ONA BLOCKS in all his duct work and you could still smell his grow!
