Advice on odor control for a small grow room?

I plan on starting back here in the fall. I'm going to have a small grow room. Probally around a 2 x 2 to 3 x 3 space. I'll be running a single 250 watt HPS with 4 clones under it. I know the odor won't be that bad but it will be bad enough if I grow a stinky strain. I got a feeling my Somango x Lavenders are going to be stinky because they stink already in veg. The only problem is I don't know what my grow room is going to look like because I haven't moved yet. What the best way to solve odor in a small grow room? I don't think I really need a big expensive carbon scrubber, not yet anyways. Would a small air cleaner work? any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

if you have some xtra cash and want the problem solved for now and any future grows look into an alpine air purifier....they work awesome....same purifiers that casinos and other resturants have. i've had one for about 8 yrs now and still runs awesome and well worth the investment.

quick fixes are air fresheners, candles, incents, dryer sheets in your heating vents...depends how strong the smell is.

I was thinking of them closet odor eliminators they sell at Home Depot. I think they would work for a mild funky smell. I doubt they would work for a commercial grow but for a few plants it would be alright I would imagine. I still got awhile to look around before I start this fall. Thanks for the input though.

By the way what's the cost of the Alpine Air Purifiers?
 
i got 2 bubblicious plants under a 250. they started to smell so i freaked i bought these tru air things that plug in i got 2 one in the caba nd one outside and i can't say if they work for sure but i bought this plug in frebreeze thing with 2 scents in one refill and it switches the scent every so often so u don;t get used to it. let me tell u it smells up the whole house even when its in one room. it works great so far noone even notices the weed smell anymore. i also have it on low and there is a low and high setting and one refill on low last over a month. works good for me was 7 bux for the plug in and one month supply of smell and 5 bux for refills they ahve good smell i ahd rain and fresh grass and now i have hawaian coconut and orange. heres my 2 plants

yup they do work very good, glade plug-ins and there's other brands around that might even be better....if you even have 1 plugged in around the living room or kitchen thats all you smell when u come home.

the alpine air things are kinda spendy you can get the smaller unit for around $200 and the bigger unit like mine for around $300-$400, and the big industrial unit for around $1000 but them are them big boys in the casino....if you ever go anywhere like the casino or hotels and notice how clean the air is when you breath it's because of them....they have fans on them so thats a bonus and it makes the air really clean and oxygenated......check em out online maybe the prices went down now, like i said i bought mine like 7-8 yrs ago when they were a pretty hot item.

I figured something small could do the trick for a mild smell. Thanks for all the replies, it's been helpful.
