I've got a stealth setup still in the making and came here to get the help of the pros.

2x2x6 panda tent inside a closet
bottom passive intake
1 or 2 pc fans exhausting up top (still working that out)

I'm only going to run at most 2 plants in here...but I'm going for the best yields I can so each plant will eventually go into the biggest pots I can fit. I don't plan on growing any super smelly pure indicas...I'm more into sativas and hybrids. Could I pull this off thru flowering with just ona? I've heard alot of good things about ona but my gut tells me it probably won't work. The only other idea I had was to make a sort of "tray" of carbon and put it underneath the exhaust fans and combo that and ona. If that won't work I guess I may just have to not grow. Silence/smell are top priority with this setup.

so I took this HEPA/Ion filter and I built this thing for it to replace the HEPA cartridge with a tutorial I found on here. it's pine wood lined with carbon pads and filled with about 14 oz of activated carbon, and with metal screen on either side... also foam tape around the sides to make it more airtight. The purifier moves a tonne of air and has a fine screen pre filter that catches most large dust particles. My question is, in a closet with one plant, and also a can filter on the out take.... will this grow be completely odourless? I'm really paranoid and I was hoping for some reassurance from experience. This is the first time I've had to worry about stink and I don't want to take any chances before they start flowering.

I'm a first time grower that just cut on Monday. I was having a bit of trouble with odors then my bottle of ONA pro came. Put it in a bucket with a house fan on the top.

A+++. Ordering the gallon bucket next.

It is close by it. I had 5 plants. I actually turned the fan off now. Not sure how long it lasts though.

For 1 plant, I think you will be fine. I grew 5 in my closet with nothing nearly as sophisticated and no one smelled anything until they actually got into my room.

There are plenty of strains that come with low odor while growing mixed right into the genetics.. but no grow is ever completely odorless, though if you use odor control methods appropriately then you will not be able to smell your crop unless you stick your nose right up to it or rough up your plants a bit. These odor control methods work AWESOMELY when they are used the right way. I like carbon filter and inline fans myself. I use a big one from Gotham Hydroponics (eBay) but I have a really nice one I made that I will post up later today (it is different than any other I've seen or else I wouldn't bother because it seems like everybody is a tutorialist these days..)
If you move your dirty, smelly air through activated carbon then it will come out clean(er)... more smell & air + more carbon and air movement required..
Good luck!

dude i did a 8 plant apartment grow, yah the last 2 weeks all i did was stare out the window waiting 4 the boys in blue 2 whoop up it was so loud neighbors were bitching haha. yah i learned my lesson dude, i personally wudlnt push anymore then 4 plants out ina apartment unless their a really neutral smelling strain like NL #5 or somthing. anything skunky will definetly go thru the walls n ventilation. and actually the smell people were saying they were smelling they said it smelled like fruity baby poo. so i knew without a doubt it was me haha, white widow can be surprisingly loud especially when grow with Chemdawg haha. apartment=horrible for growing.

There is this oil at walmart that works great. You get the oil (lots of scents, will be in the candle section) you put the oil above an open flame and it will fill the room with a nice smell. It works like a charm. I'm doing a closet grow so I'm putting one in my closet and one in my room. Also there are these scented sticks, they burn real slow and will kill the smell of anything.

My lil bro used to piss in his bed every night almost. His room reeked like fuck. I put a scented stick on his dresser and lit it and the pissy smell was gone in like two minutes. Its all real cheap too. I think the sticks are a dollar for like thirty. And for a medium size bottle off oil is three bucks. I would recomend this to any closet grower living with your parents. I would use these over a carbon filter

I recently started trying to make CO2 for my plants by using the water sugar and yeast...point being, it creates a very strong odor as if you were brewing wine or something. Since I put this in my room, its all i smell anymore. MIght not be good for a huge grow op, but for an apt, or closet grow.
Cheers,

How about Odor Control Light Bulb :) not tried one myself.

How it works
In short, the titanium dioxide coating on fresh2Ti creates a photocatalytic reaction when exposed to the fluorescent light produced by the bulb. This reaction releases electrons, or negatively charged particles. At the same time, a positively charged hole is formed in its place. This combination of negative and positive creates a very strong oxidizer called the hydroxide radical. Odors that come into contact with the positively charged holes are broken down by these oxidizers into odorless compounds.

For the guy burning the tarts in his closet...not a good idea. No open flame is ever a good idea. in fact, i have a smoke detector in my closet.

Don't know if anyone mentioned this yet but there are these bags called gonzo odor eliminator bags.I am pretty sure they have activated carbon in them but anyways I don't have any carbon filters, no ona gel and I don't spray air freshener at all and this bag just seems to suck up all that stinky pot smell:weed:.Plus considering my plant is a cross between northern lights and afghan kush it can get pretty damn stinky and this bag just sucks up all the order like a sponge.http://www.amazon.com/Gonzo-Odor-Eliminator-Crystals-Bags/dp/B001F0RFFM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1341937174&sr=8-2&keywords=gonzo+odor+eliminator

Greetings,

Just getting started, not sure if I need odor control for a clone / veg tent.

I have two 4x4 Secret Jardins.

The bloom tent will have a carbon filter inside, with a 6" 400cfm fan exhausting the air. Intake will be a Dust Shroom filter (gets dusty here). Not sure if I need a fan for that.

Should I do the same with the clone / veg tent? First time, not sure when the 'odor' gets noticeable.

I need to have odor control for a few plants indoors. I am thinking about making one of these, does the filter have its own smell? Will it completley mask the smell of the plants?
