Hello all. I was wondering if anyone out there has used a negative ion generator in their grows? I guess it is supposed to neutralize organic odors while providing great health benefits to you and your plants! I brought this up in another thread and a really nice RIU member informed me that he had used one before, but that it killed the smell too much, the bud when harvested did not smell at all. He also said that the taste was gone from it.

Has anyone else every used this method? I am wondering if the THC is still present in the bud after the negative ions. Also is it possible that his generator was too large or placed to close to the plants? I would like to find an equilibrium of neutral smell in sourrounding areas while plants still sweet.

As a curious sidenote if the weed is truly odorless and tasteless after this method, would drug dogs still be able to detect it?

I have note used them. Ion generators are expensive and unnecessary for anything other then commercial growers. If you have a odor issue use a carbon filter.

Yeah I have a carbon filter, I am trying to explore other methods of odor control. Plus negative ions are supposed to promote growth, not really getting that with my filter. Negative Ion generators are actually becoming quite reasonably priced as more people become aware of their benefits and more companies make them. I agree they can become quite pricey. However when you are talking $50 to $150 for a filter that eventually needs to be refilled or replaced and I can purchase a ion generator anywhere from $40.00 to Hundreds of dollars, that never needs replacement. The question is how well does it work, and what effect it has on the bud that I am very curious in.

On ebay they make models for cars and little bigger ones for fridges. They start at around 10 dollars, I was trying to figure out a backup system that would neutralize the room not neccessarily in the hut.

HaHa, yeah WebMD has an article about its healthful effects, I did not see anywhere on there about possible side effects of death. Are there negative effects also?
