Cheap ways to get rid of the smell

[nanookofeclectic]

Rite now I have 7 plants in a small closet. They are only about a foot tall and in veg, but you can smell them throughout the apartment. I know there are air scrubbers and carbon filters and what not, but I'm on a SERIOUS budget. Any cheap DIY ways to get rid of the smell? Thanks in advance guys!

A dirty litter box, Ferret as a pet, Ona Bucket, but the fan scrubber is the way to go.

Fan scrubber? Can I make one on the cheap, or is that something I have to buy?

I meant a fan scrubber combo around a 150 bucks for a 4" set up. Trust me the smell will get you noticed quick so do the best you can to kill it especially since they are only a foot tall and already smell it's only going to get more intense.

Keep a crock pot going all the time. Kills the smell and fills the belly.

I don't have that kind of money though. Dammit....

Get good quality incense and burn them a few times a day, the neighbours will think your hippies and there are always smells coming from that flat. Plus they make the place smell better.

I burn incense religeously, but they aren't helping. As soon as they burn out I can smell my girls.

throw up a pic of the closet area you are talking about..you may have a few "cheap" ways around the smell for this round - you can figure something out this round sell an ounce outta your grow and buy a good scrubber fan combo (for $150ish - as mentioned which is a good deal if you don't do things yourself).

when I was a kid I would pack fabric softener in a toilet paper roll and blow my pot smoke through it. It totally eliminates the smell. maybe you could make one on a larger scale or try scented oil plug in fans.

ok.. well might as well post this here instead of PM so other's can bounce ideas around too.

You aren't even flowering yet and as you said it smell "like skunk anus"... lol... it's funny - I always do that when I'm driving in the fall.. I'll be driving and you'll get that "skunk" smell.. and if I'm in the country I'll start taking deep inhales to see if it's pot... then my wife will always say something like "ewww... someone ran over a skunk"... then I'm like.. shit.. I was just huffin skunk fart thinking "mmmmm"... weird.

you said on a budget... how much is that?

Edit - I'll be back in a few and try and help figure something out that may work with you..

glade plug ins. when you get some cash invest in an ionizer but dont put it in your grow. leave it outside the door about five feet away from any walls. they work cop tested.
