Do I need active carbon filter for vegetative phase tent?

[bullebulle]

Question basically is, do I need active carbon filter and UFO to my vegetative phase growing tent?

Growing tent going to be 60x60x100.
And my led for vegetative phase is 26W ledbar 6500K grow light.
Lights gonna be 18/6.

And maybe after 4 weeks I transfer them to 400 HPS light 12/12.

But yeah are they gonna skunk while in vegetative phase tent?

A lot less than in flower, but some plants can smell quite strong in veg too. If there is any risk around the smell being detected then it would be best to use one.

You ALWAYS need filters period. Not trying to be a smart ass here, What happens your nose gets used to the smell and then stops smelling the stink, you think every thing is fine people can smell it a block or two away if you lived in the city. lol lol Out in the country it can carry for miles grows im talking about. i find it funny how people think after it hits the air its gone nope...

Even if you're legal grower. Cutting down on smell will keep things a secret.

I have air cleaner like this. Ground model with chanchable active carbon filter.
Could this be enough?


The easy-to-use and compact air purifier is perfect for understanding, for example. The purifier has three levels of filtration. These are the most important part of the list and the most important part of it. The HEPA ratio is 99.97% higher. An effective activated carbon filter searches for harmful gases and odors. The purifier has a built-in ionizer that makes negative ions. Negative ions naturally occur e.g. in forests, waterfalls and the sea. Negative ions are beneficial in enhancing the human body's metabolism as well as homeostasis.

Three power levels
Built-in ionizer
Filter indicator light. Filter about 3,000 hours, lots of reviews.
Replacement filter: 75266 Size: 33 x 21 cm, weight 2.2 kg 220-240V 50 / 60Hz 15W300

And my second question I have two led lights like this already.
Could it worth using them in vegetative phase tent instead of buying that ledbar I mentioned earlier.

• Power 2x50W
• Lightpower 2x3500lumen
• IP44
• Power usage 100W
• Color temperature 4500K

I also use Ona Block, but not in the grow room as a backup odor control.

I set it right behind my main door that leads to the outside.

Here is something I use in case of an emergency, saves a lot of time and money. Carbon filters attached to a box fan work really well, I just put the fan on low and let it clean the air. Good for about 30 to 45 days.

I root upstairs, in a room without filter. As soon as I take the lid off the prop, I can smell it outside. I run that way for just a few days if I'm behind schedule on my clean up. It's the next thing I must address. It's a serious security risk.
