Smell proofing hardwood floors

Hey all :wave:

Ive got my grow in the crawlspace of my house right below my living room. The living room floor is an old hardwood floor. I think the hard wood is letting fresh herb smell through the floor so you can smell it strong in the living room.

I am looking for suggestions as to what I can use on the bottom of the hardwood floor. Insulation , a vapor barrier of some sort? I already have the Vaportek 4000 in the grow room. There is no moving air in the grow area so I dont know how much the Vaportek helps. Maybe just adding some fresh air input & outputs would help?

My momma plant is moved now and both my flower and veg rooms are empty now so I wanna insulate the bottom of the floor while I can easily get in there.

Thanks for any ideas!

hey Timmy, long time no see.

are you venting your room using passive intakes/active exhaust?

if not, that's a good place to start, as it maintains negative air preasure in the room. instead of stikny air "seeping" up thru the floor, you'll have fresh air seeping in to the room. all stinky air goes thru the carbon filter.

either way adding a ceiling down there is a good idea. i insolated and dry walled mine. inso for sound proofing, and 5/8" drywall for fire safty.

good luck, and grow safe
 
Hey Sandman, Spaced, & whats up RM :friends:


Sandman, I do have a lot of panda film just collecting dust and I already use it to line the walls of the area. I could just.... ideas... thats good thanks!

Spaced, what is visqueen , is it an insulation or a board ?

RM, whats up bro. Not doin too much here , I started getting a little paranoid about posting pics and talking about some illegal shit I'm doing but eh... :pointlaug So Ive been trying to stay on the down low and not posting too much. Its hard staying on the down low here though when my house stinks like herb cause there's 2 hot ass babe plants 4 feet below.

I do think I need some air movement. I cant achieve negative air pressure cause my walls are panda film hanging above a dirt floor. I do think some air movement could help.

Guys, Ive been growing better buds than I have ever bought. This is the fucking best!!! This herb smells sweet like candy, smokes nice and tastes great. Gets you nice and high. :woohoo: :woohoo:

Here are some Northern Lights buds Ive been puffing on for a month or so. Its my 3rd crop since I started growing, eh, back in Dec 2005. A few months before old OG went down.

Sandman and RM , I want to thank you guys , you guys (and others VT ) really helped me get off the ground. Now I have better smoke than ever. Now I just need to get my house not to stink. Thanks so much folks!!! :joint:

For odor control...you need to have a very, very good seal on the space surrounding the source of the odor, or at least have a vacuum on the air space which then flows thru some carbon or ozone.
It doesn't matter where the grow is...think of it as growing inside of a big garbage bag.
So make a big bag...with an opening for yourself to come and go :joint:
