Hey there, I was looking for info on making a smell proof room. I want it completely sealed and I'll be using a central ac unit. I really don't want to use dry wall because I will probably have to pay someone to do it. Has anybody used the rmax insulation sheathing as walls? I've seen a couple people used them in success but not sure how good they are at containing smell. My current rooms are not sealed but I don't have to worry about the stink but I have to move to a new location and smell will be my number one concern so please if anybody has some tips please let me know thank you.

I use it on my walls an ceiling,install heavy poly behind the sheathing an tape good
 
Just my experience...

Using a fan/scrubber combo, no smell from my 4x8x8 sealed "box" on Co2. Double sealed with tape.
1/2" thick rigid foam sheeting. (wish I used 2")

But the rigid foam is not sealed, it will pass air/gas/odor.

doesnt have to be sealed to not smell you just need to be constantly sucking air out.... create negative pressure in the room. my 9x6x8 doesnt smell until I open the door.

Kingzt,
I'm afraid you're facing a daunting task. Whenever you open the door, odors will escape.

The number one thing that growers use is a good activated charcoal filter. Second is negative pressure in room....but that would require an exhaust vent sucking out air and would defeat your sealed room idea. Is there nowhere to vent to?

And another important idea is to carefully select a low odor strain. You def do not want to grow skunk or other smelly strains.
Good luck,
JD

I feel you on that. I have a ozone generator on the way that treats up to 3000 sq ft for during the day when I'm in the garden. I plan on having a couple filters running inside the room to keep the smell inside at ease. I know it won't completely remove the smell since it's just circulating the air inside.

What kind of filter you use and what is that ducting you have if it's sealed?

It's just an econo iPower kit, 6".
There is a "Y" at the top, one side open pointing up recirculating scrubbed air.
The ducting is blocked on the outside of the door.
I also have an intake vent on the other side of the box, it's sealed.

If I need to exhaust the box, it's easy to manually change over for normal venting/exhaust.
Ideally, I would have a separate fan for each function. (But even then I would manually seal them to retain tightest seal for Co2.)

Growing is fun, but like all hobbies, chit adds up quick!. :wall: bongsmilie
