Quest for the odorless grow...
- Thread starter Mr~SCROG
- Start date
For a completeley odorless grow and by completely I mean no smell in the grow room or condo and no smell from the plants would be to get a negative Ion generator and place that in the grow room,either that or get a ozone generator for your exhuast ducting but the latter of the two is less healthy for you.

Ok but seriously this is all you do...
Build a cabinet inside your walk-in closet. Buy a REAL carbon filter/scrubber and filter your exhaust. Make sure the cabinet has MORE EXHAUST than intake so the cab has negative air pressure. Negative air pressure will cause all the air to be exhausted out the scrubber, instead of un-filtered (smelly) air leaking out. A good way to achieve this is a small passive intake. Research negative air pressure for more info, most of what you'll read tells you it is bad.. which it is.. when your entire house has negative air pressure it can cause a gas furnace to leak carbon monoxide BUT if you JUST have it for your grow cabinet it is 100% safe
!
But yeah anyways, if you build a cab and scrub the exhaust, you won't have any smell. I can't believe none of these stoners thought of that already, shame on you...!

go to your local hydro shop buy 1 of these prolly the 6inch 1 min maybe even the 8 for that room.
http://www.nationalgardenwholesale....E_FILTERS&title=Air Purification&type=product and maybe a 465 cfm blower fan http://www.nationalgardenwholesale....S&title=Fans / Blowers / Ducting&type=product you can purchase a adaptor that bolts to the exhaust end and has a 4 inch duct flange. then go to your local hardware store buy some rigid 4 inch ducting it's like a 8ft acordian. if your using a cooltube or air cooled hood i would have the filter then hood/cooltube then exhaust
i pull through my 4 inch carbon scrubber then through a cooltube then a 465cfm blower fan exhausts the heat from a 1k hps directly into attick. my airintake is the bottom of door to closet i have approx 2inch gap. the ballast for the 1k light make more noise then the blower fan dose, my exhaust is approx 2 ft from front door to home theres a attick vent right above front door. ya walk into my home smell nothing untill i open the closet door, just the way it should be !!!

So how much space are you actually going to be using? Also if you are building a cabinet, inside the closet, your fan would be a very muffled sound. Also you can put a small fountain near your closet to help with the sound.
Also how are you dealing with heat without any exhaust?

Ozone will harm you and your plants. Ozone is used in the food industry to sterilize equipment and foods. Its not a good option.
an ozone generator in your bedroom is a good way to die in your sleep. Seriously, just seal off a part of the closet and get a decent carbon scrubber, ozone is poisonous and really shouldn't be used unless your doing some kinda massive grow and then exhausting outside your home.

The only real way to do that is to use a carbon scrubber, then you can use gels and sprays and whatever harmfull air additives you'd like. Obviously the people here "understand it" as they (we) have completed many successful grows.
I know I shouldn't be feeding the trolls. Thanks for the reminder mr celsius.
Lets stop the fighting, damn!!
Buy this

For less than $50 bucks you cover 10000 cu feet and costs you $4 a month for refils. uses a battery so no electricity used. No big ass scrubber and no noise.

I totally shoot for memorable titles to my threads so I'm glad you took a shot at it, that was funnyI get the neg air pressure concept, sounds like it'd def work but I really wonder how good the CAP OZN-1 or the CAP OZN-JR work. If going ozone generator killed ALL the smell it would be doubly beneficial to not have any fan noise coming from the closet.
Anyone ever use one of those?
Too much ozone isnt healthy for humans, I wouldnt recomend it unless venting it outside
