Anyone have any tips on odor control in a sealed room? I have always relied on negative pressure with filters. I am considering putting a 6" fan filter on a rheostat in the mechanical room. Was thinking of penetrating the flower room wall and installing a 3 inch abs pipe with a light proof couple of bends on it. Not sure how much it will take to keep the stank down but am open to whatever suggestions people have. Burning propane for co2 so not terribly concerned over co2 loss, would like to keep it to a minimum though as more burner time means more heat.

Odor control in a sealed room

I have the same issue. I've got a 12" Phresh/Canfan combo doing what Jhhnn says but I still have smell seeping into the main part of the house... The trick is an absolute perfect seal but that is harder than it sounds.
I am going to buy a Atlas 3 controller and exhaust during lights out. This is a practice suggested by many and hopefully it will "reset" the smell buildup.

It will help man, your situation will be smell proof all day too, hopefully your outdoor temps are conductive with this. If it's stupid hot outside it will end badly.
It doesn't take much negative pressure to confine odor to a "sealed" room. Extremely low flow through a carbon filter exhausting into the rest of the structure can accomplish that, I think, even if the return flow into the room is just through the cracks. Some people grow in walk-in closets, scrub the air in the bedroom to contain odor.
A sealed room should have neither negative pressure nor positive pressure. It should be sealed, and recirculating the same air. Odor should only be smelled when you open the door to the sealed room. If you are smelling odor outside of a sealed room, you need to get some caulk or expanding foam and start fixing the holes and gaps where the odor is leaking.
It's actually not difficult at all to fully seal a room. It's just tedious.

Charcoal in the grow ozone in the house.
Put it on a fan controller and just dial it back to the lowest setting that it is still eliminating the odor. This will save your AC having to work against the extra incoming heat. There will still be a small amount of hot air getting pulled in, but you can minimize it. That is my thinking at least.
agreed hush.
I just ran my 1st sealed room, 14 x 20ft.
the only time you smell anything is when you open the door.
I bought a can 150 scrubber with a 10" inline.
the 1st 3-4wks of bloom the smell is minimal, after that its heavy.
but wondered why i needed to run a scrubber 24/7 when there's no smell outside the room, so I didn't.
i have a gallon of ona gel to take care of the smell outside of the room, I only need to open it and run a fan on it for a few minutes to neutralized the odor that escapes, then cap it back up.
Before I subdivided my room into 3x3's, each exhausted thru its own 4x12 Phresh, I simply cracked the door, sprayed just a quick spray of Ozium, then opened the door, and entered. When leaving, a quick spray by the door before exiting. I also kept an open can of cheap deodorizer paste next to AC intake/exhaust just in case. Good luck. -granger
