i have a problem with my plants smelling and there not in veg yet they are a hash plant strain. where i live there is nobody around but a hwy and the cops pull people over all the time right infront of the house but we still have 250 feet of trees inbetween the hwy and the house but i want to get a odor sok if they work. i am looking at one thats rated for a 1000cfm fan i was wondering if any body has used one and for how long they last i was told that if you keep the humidity down it will last longer:mrgreen:

Heya

I've seen people on other forums that I turst their judgement say that they work well. Not sure they'll last as long as a Can Filter/charc unit..but they are light and chepaer at the onset. I'd say go for it if you have any smell. Better safe than sorry..

I got mine from a local hydro shop. I believe the brand name is a canair 9000. It's about 2 foot long and about 1 foot or so in circumfrance. It's rated at 110 cfm. I was stupid and only mounted a 80 cfm fan, I should have probably went with 150 +. Total cost for fan and filter with ALL the duct work was about $130. That's with the exhaust flashed on the roof and the "good" ducting I bought (heat treated). There is a pic about 1/2 way through my thread somewhere. I'll look and see if i can find it.

You can see my fan if you look real close towards the bottom of the pic. It's inside the duct.

It does reduce the smell, but my main concern for buying this was to remove the odor before exhausting anything outside. Circulation and temps are fine in the growroom, so I turn the fan off with the lights. There is some smell by the time the lights come back on, but after about an hour or 2 you hardly notice it anymore, unless I'm just used to it....lol

Hell princess, I'd frame up some walls in that basement of yourself, get my ol concrete drill out cut me a hole in the side of that basement of yours. Run some ductwork underground. Build me a outside casing for a exhaust pressure flap. Only run a cfm thats for my grow area that I just made. I love having power tools.

i bet :p

i have two places to exhaust to, i just need a smaller fan. the filter would be a plus, even though the grow room is hidden, and is extremely hard to find, even when you're standing in front of the door.

i'll have to do something eventually though, i don't like having the lingering smell in that room (might be paranoia, but i can smell it from behind the door....)

that is probably a little bit too big....maybe a 200+ cfm it's like 30 bucks...i'm not 2 good at factoring for fans.

to find the cfm you need... multiply L x W x H of your room and divide that figure by 2. Pick the next largest cfm fan above that #.

Example 8' x 8' x 8' room

8 x 8 = 64
64 x 8 = 512
512 / 2 = 256

For that space, I'd go with a 300 cfm fan. You can always go larger...

Blowers are cheaper than inlines..but they don't push the same amount of air and run hotter. Blowers are also a bit trick to completely seal up so they don't suck dirty air from the space and exhaust it...bypassing the filter.

good luck. Never underestimate the importance of filtration.
