Ill comment on the Fresh Linen in a couple days bro. Got a fresh quart on the way 
The Ultimate Odour Control Thread
- Thread starter Arrid
- Start date
When i had my plants in late flowering, the smell was horibble. It could be smelt outside on the road. I decided to try Ona gel Pro, as many reviews were positive. Most of them actually.
Well for me, it worked for 1 day.. I only had 4 plants, most of air was exiting trought chimney. Inside, the smell was totally masked, it was like in toilete, but outside, it seperated. Mostly mj was detectable, but also that "toilete" smell.
So be careful with that, i had to shut it down earlier.
Just sharing an experiance.
P.S. I also made that bucket with fan, changed nothing.
Anyway i find it good to use inside the house, not to remove the smell itself from grow rooms..

That Ona Fresh Linen is a FRESH buyIll comment on the Fresh Linen in a couple days bro. Got a fresh quart on the way
I'm just a week in to flowering and don't have to use it yet, but I can smoke a spliff inside and take a lap with the Ona after and CHANGE the whole smell.
It instantly works for that so I could see how it's gonna come in handy when when my buds start sounding off!
Got some soil moist soil crystals too. If you're gonna use Ona, I heard you have to have em.
I'm banking on them being a BONUS.
Next time around I'll buy Pro just to know what it's like. But fresh linen is straight..It smells sorta like "fresh linen".
It DEF. changes the smell of weed smoke. We'll see about the aromas. I've got faith tho.
+rep for Ona fresh linen is you just wanna kill the smoke odor.
I usually smoke on my balcony or out the door depending on the time of the day...
But I just boxed myself in just to try it and it checked out

SO what you guys think about pushing air through my carbon filter with prefilter inside to keep dust?debri out?...........Reason being cause when I flower I don't use glass in air hood but I still suck out radiant heat from bulb then goes out room through 400somethincfm Hydrofarm inline then out carbon filter. Just seeing if anybody has done it this way.....Last grow I did some Hazes and they had no skunky smell at all really and didnt ever run a filter but that was a first in growing exp for me not having plants stink it up. But I loved not using glass in hoods cause of lumens being blocked so just was pondering if filter inside would work? And I never pushed air through a carbon filter assuming it works both ways.

I usually have 12-16 plants in flower at a time and I run one hydrofarm 430 cfl that pulls air through a carbon filter and expels the exhaust outdoors. What I have learned over time is that the best way to stop odor indoors is to have a good air flow/good exhaust. To stop the smell from going out...well, don't let it out. Sucking the air through a filter and pushing it outdoors along with keeping my room circulating has always kept me discreet. I have friends that sleep in a bedroom next to my grow rooms when they visit and they can never smell a thingl. I can stand outside of my house directly inline with the exhaust and I smell nothing. The only real issue you will run into with carbon filters is humidity. If the humidity is too high, the carbon will not neutralize the odor particles as well. Oh and obviously the filter needs to be replaced. I run mine for about 11 months without issue.

Hy Everyone!
I have a very strange question. I live in the same room where i flowering my plants, and i do not use any odour control equipment for them. Well, when i grab some clothes on and go to school or anywhere, i think i smells like ganja. (Of course i take a shower, and use deodorant) Not when i'm sniffing my clothes from close, but when i slowly inhale the air around me. It's like a smell-aura, or something like that. Is it possible, or i'm just paranoid?

Remarkable how much time an effort the OP put into the first post on this thread. I mean some of them methods are truely amasing even if they are from 2008 and are even made using stuff lying around the home AND credit to all whos threads were linked. Some of you should be working for nasa well actually no cause then your ideas wouldnt be on here but Thanks for taking the time to post your impressing threads.

Anyone wanting to experiment with ozone without spending too much cash might want to try the aquarium designed ozone units
the one i have been using recently works well, it has a simple on off switch which means i can use it with my own time switch and sync it with the lights / fans etc
this give better control than the eBay water purifier units that come with a built in timer +set run times and many have no repeat function
i use it along with a carbon filter the 200-300 mg produced is enough to remove all smell in the grow area 3x600w hps that the carbon filter/ fan is too slow to remove

Be careful ozone is very bad for humans and can destroy roots... I bought a ozone gen that was too large for the space I was using it in and it affected everyone in the house. Then I did the extensive research on the subject I should of beforehand only to find that they have some very negative consequences when creating ozone close to people.
I have not done a grow before but would like to start. My only concern is odour....
I would like to get a rough idea in how strong the odour would be.
Say I do a hydroponic set up in a dark room grow tent with proper odour control system invested...would I still smell a thing beyond the tent? If yes, how strong? Would it be possible to COMPLETELY eliminate the odour so nothing beyond the tent can be smelled?
thanks guys!

You can do a lot to control odor with a tent as exhausting is easy in small controlled environment (even with a 4" exhaust)....but there are times when you have to open the doors/flaps for routine care, and the smell will travel the house fast. I've learned some good strains that are prolific yet mild in odor...some are such a sweet fruity smell, it's a pleasure around the house. I have friends though that come by every other day and they know when I've had the tent open no matter if its skunky or sweet/fruity. Of course they are "experienced". Growing is not to be your worst fear for odor however.....take down a couple of plants at harvest and trim them up and then comes the "other" odor issue. Want to make cannabutter? There's a smell new to neighbors too....be prepared to tell them you are canning "spinach". I have been growing without a filter for ≈1.5 months due to low odor strains....Barney's Farm LSD and DNA Sharksbreath are very tame in smell. Before that Cinderella 99 and Pineapple Express I did use filters but could have run without...they only smelled if you touched them or trimmed leaves. If I see a strain's lineage has Skunk, Kush or Afghan in it, it's automatically off my list for running without filters.
very good to know!!!
With my situation, I can not afford to have the house stinking of it. Im so serious about it that im even thinking of having my grow tent inside another tent (X2 odour control system) just to play that extra safe. Same time, the trimming and all that will be done inside another tent or something like that, you feel how serious im with the odour issue?
So can i take your word that with a relative mild odour strain nothing can be smelled beyond the tent?
Since im using a tent, would this mean the odour of a strong odour strain could be kept strictly behind the tent as well, or applies only to mild odour strains?
thanks!

Really what I'm saying is that you will have odors from time to time, no matter what the strain or how cautious you are...if the risk of being caught based on smell is that great...don't even go there. I live in a medically legal state and I am legal, but don't want the crap involved with people knowing. Our yearly Christmas party has been a hit with no detection from visitors what-so-ever...I lock the door to the grow room and do all the plant's maintenance ahead of time. I have a radio playing Christmas carols in the bathroom adjacent to the grow-room so they don't hear the fans purring. A few scented candles here and there and nobody even knows. But the minute I open that tent...somebody is going to smell something. Your extra tent would be a bonus but there are so many other scenarios where the odor is released to the environment.very good to know!!!

I also have a zero smell policy. It needs to stay in the man-cave.
I can report that it is possible. I am near week 8 of my second crop,
and have not had any issues.
...but the poster before is quite right. If I am working on the ladies,
then, for a while, there will be a smell outside the room. Just plan
your actions so that this is not a problem.
Good luck,
JD

Is there a minimum standard for the equipment; say min cmf for the exhaust/intake???
