So I have a green house 4 by 4 meters, and looking to grow for medicinal purposes at 1 end of it.
the green house has 1 window, which auto opens on temperature. getting above 25degrees C

what would be a good smell control for 4-6 plants?
was looking at 150mm carbon filter and a QUIET fan, as the greenhouse is 20meters away from the neighbors... any suggestion on filter and fan combination?

thanks

Hmm, I don't know about outdoor odor control. I would get the biggest filter you can find with the biggest fan you can find.You want the fan to be rated for the specs of the filter. Also, you could put some ona gel blocks outside of the green house but I would assume they would be depleted quickly being outside. Good luck man

yeah its fairly airtight, so I was hoping a carbon filter oughtta work, but noise is an issue, cant have it too loud

along with carbon filters you should consider getting other strong smelling plants like rosemary & lavender for in & around the tent. good luck

No doubt. Well for 5x5 I use a 440cfm fan, so for 12x12 1000cfm fan with compatible filter would work if it's air tight. Also in an air tight structure you wouldnt hear too much sound on the outside

It's hard to say. I don't know about outdoor but say you have 4 plants in a bedroom. How much would it smell? Now say you have 6 plants in the same bedroom. It probably smells close to the same. But out door might be different because instead of the smell from the bedroom escaping into a house, which is another sealed room, the smell would be escaping into a much bigger space, then it goes whichever way the wind blows. If youre in a green house with only 4 plants I wouldn't worry about smells man, but that's just me. Hope this helps
