The ultimate Odour control thread

I have one cup 1/2 filled by the door, not sealed good, and one by exhaust fan. room built on 2nd floor so bathroom light/fan blows into room, hence one by door for air that gets pushed out. only 1 plant so works just fine. plus bathroom smells fresh too, had peeps comment on it. I have even used it when a mouse or something died in wall in bedroom. Wifey was bitchin about smell, put some in tupperwear next to wall, she was very happy with results. and after gel dried up to crystals in bottom of tupperwear, added a little water and went another week smelling good.

I use ona gel (fresh linen) in my cabinet grow in my bedroom. I bought the quart size and drilled a few holes in the lid and stuck it near the exhaust where my carbon scrubber used to be. The exhaust vents right back to my bedroom. After about a month the girls started smelling so I drilled a few more holes in the ona lid. I'm now a week before harvest and when you walk in my room all you smell is fresh laundry (linen even!).

Now drying might be a different story. Has anyone used ona while drying a small crop? I'll guess I'll find out next week. I'll let you guys know. Naw, I'm sure I won't...

I'm growing Crimea Blue which I know isn't the stinkiest strain. Or is it....

i killed two birds with one stone. i vent to the outside and when the fan would run you could hear it outside. what i did was in the exhaust side i put a box with a placet bag in it and a o-zone generator. the ozone gen only runs when the lights are on. you can't smell anything or hear the fan when it's on high.thanks

Guys I need some serious advice. I have a little crappy goblin filter in a 4x4 hut. For the life of me I can't control the odor. Its so bad and its begining to worry me. Do charcoal filters even work? I was thinking about getting an ozonator but it worries me health wise. I am pretty sure the goblin filter SUCKS but if I bought a huge carbon filter will it control the odor? Please guys, your help is appreciated.

1. a carbon filter will help for exhaust=some smell
2. a small o-zone gen. in the exhaust with a carbon filter=NO SMELL
3.if your talking in the room your box is in an small o-zone gen will also work if the room is big enough but their are paste's and sprays out there. i heard one guy stole the airfresher out of a bathroom at burger king and it works good and keeps going back and getting refill cans.

The reason you are getting smell from your cabs is likely from two things, either your fan is blowing too hard for you filter and the smell doesn't have time to absorb into your carbon. Or you could not have any back pressure in your cab so the smell is leaking out. Make sure that your exhausts are pulling in air. If you are using a tent or something, make sure the "walls" are pulling in a bit. This will ensure you have back pressure. If your "walls" are bowing out then you don't have any back pressure and the smell is just leaking our all the holes in your cab.

If you pair you fan up correctly with your filter, you will have zero smell from your buds. And if you have a quality carbon filter. I have an Active Air carbon filter that is 16" x 40" and I can't smell a thing from my grow. I have a 1000watt 20 plant vert grow going right now, and inside the cab it stinks, but once its sealed up all I smell is a touch of carbon. But that is only in the room the grow is in, not the rest of my house.

A quality carbon filter will kill 99.9% of your smell. I don't know how well those Goblin filters work, but I know I tried an OdorSok without much luck. I forked out the $200 for the real carbon filter, and what a difference. It was bitch getting it into the house, but well worth the money and the effort. Plus the Active Air filters are way less than the can filters with an extra like 1/2" of carbon bed.

what about using baking soda? or something like that..baking powder?...something to absorb the odour...

I think this is a great idea. Any ideas from the gallery ?

I have a small grow of plants in the center of an area that's about 1500sq ft... semi-exposed to the elements and only at about a week in Veg. I'm not concerned too much because I'm going to be closing the area off. BUT, I am concerned if smells leak out when it starts to get HOT down here and the Neighbor smells it. I have this crazy old bitch that lives next door and she is a busy body. I live in a house, not apt.

I just need a little smell protection I think... or do I?


THANK YOU.

you should be ok.....but im not sure about how much they will smell when they get bigger and closerr to harvest...i have 2 lil ones growin in a closet..the closet smells (wonderful)..but my room doesnt..(yet)
