The temps do tend to make smells differ. I noticed on the warmer days and when my grow room heats up slightly the smell increases also. Hope that helps :D

I noticed that to, when it gets pretty hot and humid the smell fills up the whole house but when its nice and cool I cant smell anything till I get a few ft away.

raw, im growing with LEDs since they are stealthy and have an exhaust. its just gonna be in a small room so a carbon filter should be straight right?

It can go straight up and down on the floor or hanging or it could hang sideways with no problems.... If that was the question haha

yeah, a carbon filter should be good. look at the air filter section at lowes or home depot. you may need to do some research online first to find out which one filters better than the other. or you can look into ona gel. a quart is about $20 and last a month or so. i bought ona gel, but my plant doesnt smell as much as i thought. i just poor a little ona in a cup and set it right outside the exhaust of my cab, and refill it as needed. and it can go straight, or curved. sarcasm is funny, but maybe following it with a helpful answer would help the humor...

WOW! 2 liter soda bottles to chill the water????!!!! So no need to buy an water chiller???<which are expensive! So i'm down to save $$$$$ on a chiller....
Couple of questions....How many bottles do you put in there? what are your temps & humidity like?? I to have been researching and VERY intrested in water cooled lights for a while now, and was un-decided on the fresca-sol or ice box heat exchangers.....my next set-up is gonna consist of 2 x 1000hps so watercooling only seems right....BTW, any pics of set-up??? Peace...

I just uploaded some pics of my room. I add three plants every three weeks so I am harvesting every three weeks and sometimes less. The tall ones are white rhino, smaller ones are Chrystal Indica , and the smallest one is Papaya, all from nirvana seeds.
Never been on a forum before so I don't know how to put the pics anywhere but my profile. I think you can view them there.

I don't want to pitch products or anything but i just ordered "Zero Odor" (google it) which claims it can basically neutralize any odor completely and quickly, I will test this for myself but it sounds pretty good from their videos.

If it actually works this could be a gigantic help to growers on any scale, because it wouldn't matter how stinky the strain or how small the area, plus its like 13 bucks on amazon.

Hope this helps

hi guy's, i'm kinda new to indoor growing so forgive me if this idea is shit, i haven't yet tried it either so open your minds real wide here guys. i was online looking at carbon filters for my small grow room (about 20 minutes ago)and had an idea... i worked in the motor as a technician for many years and we used to fit filters to car air con systems called "pollen filters" now there are 2 types of pollen filters 1) the particular filter which only stops pollen, dust and some odours and 2) the activated carbon pollen filter which stops everything. the second one is a reasonably new concept in terms of the motor industry but have a look at this site http://www.puravent.co.uk/filters/puraventfilterdesign.htm you can pick a carbon pollen filter for a vauxhall vectra 2002 model for less than £20. hope this helps.

It's possible it could work but you may end up having to buy multiple filters to do an efficient job. Just a thought..

no, i only use ona gel. my cab is in my garage, and I just scoop out a little ONA into a seperate container as needed. but when i first put it out, i came back that afternoon, and the oily garage smell was gone, couldnt smell anything at all hardly.

Plus it helps with temps cause you can remove restrictive carbon filters from youR fans, as long as there is adequate light blocking elsewhere

Hey guys,
so i just got that zero odor stuff in the mail, It its a spray bottle that you squirt by pulling the trigger like windex.
I tried it on my dirtiest sock (pretty rank) and 5 seconds after spraying it i couldn't smell the sock at all anymore.
That was pretty surprising, so i decided to try a bit more of a decisive test, so i found my trusty fabreeze bottle and went to town on the inside of a cardboard box
I then immediatly sprayed 4 spritzes of Zero Odor in there, and bam, no more fabreeze.


I dont have any stinky plants right now so i cant try it out in the way most of us would be using it, on some dank ass ganja buds, but it definatly works, i really think this product has a lot of potential for growers.

Im gonna go smoke a J and try spraying this stuff in the room afterwards to see how it works in that situation, ill report back
