Use white vinegar 25-50% with water...boil on stove. It's the ONLY thing that eliminates SKUNK odor. If you live in the country, you should already know this. White vinegar is known for antiseptic qualities also......if you ever had a litter of REAL SKUNKS nesting under your house, you'll appreciate white vinegar even more.

I've never heard of this method before, care to explain it a bit more?

I wouldn't use an O3 generator in any room with a living plant. Period.

My experience with ozone is that it will damage and ultimately kill the plant. Ozone enters leaves through stomata during normal gas exchange. As an oxidant, ozone causes several types of symptoms including chlorosis and necrosis. In addition, other symptom include flecks (tiny light-tan irregular spots less than 1 mm diameter), stipples (small darkly pigmented areas approximately 2-4 mm diameter), bronzing, and reddening.

Hey guys,

"my friend" actually currently use the ozone jr. and it works wonders. Can 't smell anything even inside grow room sometimes. In a 6x8x6 area. Its nice because it runs 15 mins on 15 mins. off on its own. Just plug it in and let it go. AS far as side effects I haven't come across any yet and the babies have all grown very nice even within inches of it. def recommend it. He also uses the ona gel. Just pokes holes in the cap and it takes care of all smell in a 4x3x4 area. Just wondering If you (person who posted about all the side effects of ozone jr.) have ever used one??

Iv'e read some very positive reports at IC mag about the Biozone Air purifier they start at 250 $ US. and should do a small grow well. fairly new tech.

this is really useful. i didnt even know you could buy the carbon at the pet store like that. knowing that will open up several possibilities for a filter, and maybe even light blocking while still allowing air flow. great post. +rep

Odour control



So you want to know about odour control in the grow room.
This is just a list of the things you can use to control the odour.
You've got to realise before you start growing that your ganja is going to smell.

(If you live in a house with your parents, you best just wait it out till you get your own place. ;) )

Here is a compiled list of helpful information to help you learn the knowledge that will help you to become a good grower.

If you feel you can contribute, then post!



The carbon filter.




Taken from wikipedia -

"Carbon filtering is a method of filtering that uses a piece of activated carbon to remove contaminants and impurities, utilizing chemical adsorption. Each piece of carbon is designed to provide a large section of surface area, in order to allow contaminants the most possible exposure to the filter media."

A carbon filter works by removing "the smell" from the air that passes through it.
Place a fan so that it's blowing (or pulling ) air through a carbon filter/scrubber.
It's that simple!
You can buy them from most good Hydroponic stores, as well as online. (eBay etc.)

The most common questions asked when anyone talks about a carbon filter is the following :
Can't i get it cheaper than in the store?


The answer is YES!



DIY Carbon filters

Below is a list of links to useful DIY carbon filters that people have made themselves.
Remember these are tried and tested and the people who have made them swear they work well for their needs.
( Just remember to take into account that your needs may be different. )

I will be updating this list as more are found/made.

ONA gel.





( Taken from ONA Gel odor neutralizer from 4 hydroponics.com by Growco Indoor Garden Supply. )

"Two odors can offset one another when they combine to form a bond. ONA's ingredients come from a blend of 32 essential oils and plant-derived compounds, that bond with and neutralize a wide array of pesky odors.

ONA odor neutralizer was originally developed for industrial applications to neutralize the strong odors in sewage treatment plants, rendering plants and chemical plants. If it can handle those conditions, think what it can do for you!"

ONA gel works by "killing" the smell.
( used in a grow room on a regular cycle. )





Hopefully this will stop a lot of questions asking the same things.

I started this to get the ball rolling.
I know a lot is missing.
