Very nice, and honestly Ive seen them recommended buy a few people because they are a relatively cheap way to deal with smell (and i mean deal with it not just mask it) if you are not using venting ducts. My current setup is a 250w hps over 2 violator kush bitches in a room that is around 6 feet x 4 feet. My flowering schedule is from 8pm to 8am so i leave the door open during that time, i have a Bell&Howell Ionic Air Purifier in there and its doing good but Ive only been flowering for 2 days, the real test will be in 5 weeks or so hope this helped brotherwhat it is !! i smoke ciggs, for that reason i purchased 2 sharper image ionic breezes, ive never had an indoor grow but am currantly trying 2 get my shi* together for a small winter project . im hoping 1 of these in close proxcimity will do the trick ,tell me what ya think.

yeah i read that about washing it but it doesnt sound like something that is really gonna work. too be honest i am not too sure about what type of fan it is (electrics are not my strong point) it all come as a kit from hydroponics-hydroponics.com. soon as it stops working properly i will invest in a carbon filter.

answer me this. if u have ur intake from an open window, cant u have ur air exhaust go out the growroom door and into the house, having the smell vent only in the house? this is what im planning when my girls start stankin, but i have no experience with odor cover up. will this work???

i recentlywent through a hell of a time trying to improve my odor control
i have a 5 inch grobrite charcoal filter from htg. A 6 inch 430cfm inline fan. I had the fan pulling outa the tent then pushing through the charcoal filter. I noticed a little smell, a charcoly taste in the air, but not bad.
everybodu said put the filter in the tent for improved strength. So i did. What a nightmare I began.
Well the whole room filled with weed smell right away as I turned off fans, lol. Then when i got it hooed up it smelled. Like the fas was too strong. The values of the 2 correlate though. So i put a duct booster I had laying around on the filter and gave the light its own circuit. This worked fine for a whole day. Then i relaised this was no where near enough ventilation. I dont have enuf vents in my tent. I have three and i need 6 plus flanges i did no have on hand. So iredid the tent with the filter on the outside. It really stank thi time. I was like wtf. So i redid it again with the filter inside, it stank still. I redid it again with the duct booster in forn fo the charcoal filter but turned off and it was fine. Lol, i guess it acts as some kinda damoer or something giving the filter moretime. So now the filter in the tent pulling through a truned off duct booster and exhasting on top of the fan. This gives a lot of air movement over the plants. The passive intake is hanginf from a circulating fan which draws a smooth currnet inside form a duct leading outside. The tent walls cave in a bunch so i know i got neg pressure.
If it aint broke dont fix it!!!

Canister filters use sheets of activated carbon filter. You can cut the sheet to size and easily replace. http://www.filters-now.com/products/ffm.html#products

Hrm. Very odd, I find that the best way to cover up the smell is to just smoke some pot?

I have about 10 of those odor killing CFLs. They sort of work on normal household odors but don't even touch the weed smell. I don't recommend them.

I have a 6 inch inline hooked up to a Goblin carbon filter inside my tent. I have it all vented outside of the house threw a window using a dryer vent cover. It takes the smell out of the house and helps big time but the air coming outside still reeks of bud. I guess the carbon is helping but if it was vented in the house it would stink like hell. I really need something to cover the smell coming outside. Any ideas? Has anyone tried the ONA? How good is it?

Your house will most likely stink. Even with a carbon filter.

My guess is going to be that you are running to many CFMs through your filter and the smell is not having a chance to be "absorbed" by the carbon.
Try using a speed controller on your fan and this should help. Either that, or you have too much bud for that tiny little carbon filter. You may have to fork out the money for a larger filter. With the right size filter and fan for your grow, you should have no smell what so ever.

UV Ozone is the most reliable and effective units available. They are a sealed preasure UV tube useing the light spectrum to convert oxygen to ozone. UV ozone smells the best.
Corona discharge ozone is higher maintenance and the ozone output lowers as the moisture in the feed stock air increases. The cleaning is increased with increased moisture. corona ozone smells second best.
Corona ozone will damage plants sooner than UV because the nitric acid/oxide it produces as a small by product.
Ozone is also used form decontaminating rooms/buildings/homes and offices from mold spores, bacteria and viruses via a shock treatment when the room is empty. It is used in crime scene cleanup and many other applications for decontamination purposes.
Ozone gas injected in the input of the carbon will oxidize the organic vapour trapped by the carbon filter and extend it's life between 5x or 50x . The carbon is a catalyst for ozone reactions with organic gases and the result is enhanced deodorization and remediation of the carbon filter all in one step. The ozone will slowly reduce the carbon in the filter pack but not as quick as the filter becomes full and needs to be replaced.
Ozone can be used to9 remediate the carbon filters frequently or it can be injected to constantly maintane the carbon.
