Smell outside your house

I once had an ozon generator.
Didn't solve the problem.
Pehaps it wasn't good enough.
Do you guys have a link to the ozone generators you used?

I haven't had enough "liked" posts to be able post a link yet. Mine was a corona discharge one and was pretty powerful. I ran my exhaust from my lights which was two 4" ducts into a large storage tote ( had cut holes to mount and seal the elbow pieces I used ) and then out into a 6 inch duct from the tube. Don't know the math but seemed like the single 6 inch allowed just a hair more air flow than the two 4's. I had a 20' or 25' 6 inch duct for the exhaust that I ran into a basement / garage area.

If you go ozone, make sure you have enough air and unrestricted exhaust from where the generator is that none can "come up the duct." Has the possibility to rust the electronics in your tent / room. I started using mine out of necessity. I'd rather not get into how many of what, but I had to use one. I had tried many things prior and the generator was the only thing that worked. Think I spent about $350 on mine but that was a decade ago. I used it 24/7 for about 3.5 years before it died.

Well... What if the power company wants to change the meter or you need propane delivered. Always control odor if growing where it is illegal to do so.

You just reminded me of a little story.

My bro and close friends all live in a different part of the country and all had their own grows going.
One of them had a fairly big set up and he had it all ducted in the roof of the house, he used to pour the used clay balls around the property thinking nobody would notice 6" deep of clay balls because they all lived on an industrial estate.
Well the bin men noticed and the ducting got damaged somehow. That's what he thinks happened.

Late one night he heard some ruckus so he went down with a bat in hand to see a bunch of guys trying to force their way in.
They eventually did and had machetes so his bat didn't do him much good.
They tied him up after giving him a slap about and over 4 hours took all his plants, dried buds and stash of coin.
Some of his mates found him 10hours later still tied up. He was not a happy man but he wont ever be so complacent again.

Not long ago I decided since it was cold to vent my air cooled lights into the house. Not a good idea even though the intake for lights wasn’t in the house you could smell it outside when came home. Problem was quickly fixed by venting a a carbon filyernto the attic. Best bet for complete smell control is a strong negative pressure and to make sure that all the air being pulled out goes thru a carbon filter. Make sure to replace the filter and very now and then.

Yes very important to get the air out of the house with a carbon filter of course, an old friend years ago, decided just to let the air go from his grow room to his attic, result after 5 years was a new roof and roof supports due to rot and mold...

Humidity? Trying to wrap my head around why vented air would cause that.Not something I'd have ever considered.

Attic is supposed to be a cold space. Venting hot humid air up there causes condensation and mold.

Oh yeah. That's a bad idea, especially in the winter. I've heard of people's ceilings collapsing under a heavy layer of wet moldy muck!

Corona discharge is not a brand, is it?
I googled it and it looks more like a type of machine/device.

I will like some of your posts. But it does not mean I agree with everything you say. :) Just helping you out.

Thank you! I can now post links :). Sorry for not having answered but it sounds like you answered your question via google. Yes corona discharge is a type. I've tried to look for where I got it but I can't find it. It was nothing fancy. Mine was basically a silver aluminum box with a small lightening storm going on inside. Mine was similar to this https://www.horticulturesource.com/uvonair-8-cd-in-line-duct-ozonator-corona-discharge-p20196?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI98zChPae4gIVh5-zCh3U8AECEAkYCyABEgJ8nfD_BwE minus being ready to be connected to a duct.

I had one from Uvonair. Not the one with the UV-light, but with a Corona Discharger.
It did not work good.
Smell passed (Cheese) and the neighbours informed the cops. :evil:
Perhaps it wasn't big enough.

Damn neighburs, no doubt, on my house there is a tiled roof, where I found, what I belive to be a smart solution to the exhaust, https://www.russellrooftiles.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Concrete-Vent.png

Very discret and a normal part of a roof system, I dont use a carbon filter, hence its a 2 story house, so air in being vented out 24 feet above the ground, but as mentioned by others, get the air out of the house, super important...

You do need to have enough duct after it for the ozone to mix. I think 15 feet is the recommended length.

The length might have been the problem. I think it was way shorter.
The guy who sold it to us, said it needs some length, but no way he said 5 meters.
