Hi all, I have a great grow in progress now 6 weeks plants 3 to 4 feet, due to the fact that I live in a Tropical climate and have to contend with 100+ degree temps I put a 5000 BTU A/C in a 9 Sq foot box (72" tall). The air gets recirculated, I have a box exhaust and lamp exhaust fans, the grow box is in my garrage. Up to this point, I don't smell a dam thing unless I open the grow box door. I've been feeding my plants the condensor water, it measures 20 PPM and the plants seem to be loving it. Please give me a break, I know how to spell eliminate.

Thanks

They don't smell too bad because they aren't flowering yet. I bought a foothill carbon scrubber. Search ebay for foothill filters. I've been very pleased with the performance of these. Others have given positive feedback on them as well. Plants look great btw!

yeah once they flower your place will smell unless you get a filter

a carbon filter is the way to go, I have an ozone generator the OZN-1 it works well for my NL but I'm not sure if it could handle some more of the smellier strains.

I doubt it, odor control is extrememly important and should be on the top of anyones list, even before lights...

there are plenty of things you can build yourself for much cheaper than a filter

Thanks for the input, I've done some reading and found that due to the fact the the humidity is always very low, it helps reduce the smell. I just put them into flowering, when and if it becomes a problem I'll get a carbon filter. Thanks for all the advice.

Better safe than sorry. Even though I don't care what the car thinks about the smell I do care about what my neighbors might think. I have a 20" exhaust fan mounted in a window sucking the garage air out.

I just went out and bought a small stand alone carbon filter big enough for a 7' by 7' room, my box is 9 sq feet and 72" high. I have options on how to install it. So I hope this will reduce the odor when it arrives.
