with carbon filters some say it isn't necessary to vent.. my question would be, is that wise? potentially harmful? or quite alright?
i'm not sure i understand your question - the carbon filter is passive. the only way to make it work is to force the stinky air through it. perhaps you are thinking of ozone generators, which can also eliminate odor but they do have related health-risks if used improperly. I've never heard carbon filters being dangerous.
My plants are in the second day of flowering and they are very very potent...... I was just wondering how can i eliminate the smell without tampering with the growth of my girls!!!!!
the air coming out of a carbon filter should be fresh and clean with no odor. fresh air comes in from some intake holes, is sucked through the filter and exhausted outside the grow area via the exhaust fan. you can also put the filter on the outside of the grow area and exhaust the air through it that way also. either way, your grow area should be receiving a constant supply of fresh air and your plants shouldn't be stinking up the neighborhood. if you are in the same room, you'll probably smell it.
righttt... what size filter would you use for a 20-40 plant setup? i am not sure how to gauge the volumes they rate them for.
This just mixes up in the marijuana smell and makes the room smell even sweeter. It doesnt cover it up.What about some glade plug-ins? I have been meaning to try this.
