So my clones are creating quite a stink already. Smell has been my only obstacle in my mini grow. There are lots of ways to build a scrubber, but none I really liked. I recently purchased a small room air purifier from target for $34 similar to this one. http://www.target.com/p/holmes-hepa-mini-tower-air-purifier-black/-/A-13021386#prodSlot=medium_1_18
It has a hepa filter and ionizer. I decided why not strap this to my grow box since it's got a powerful 3 speed fan and a filter. It works very well.
It uses mini cartridge filters. The filter I had was for pet smells and really wasn't quite doing the job. I cut apart the filter to find it's just some kind of carbon pad and a thin prefilter. All I had to do was separate the two layers and add about half an inch or so of activated carbon. Then I just put it all back together and it's all good. The fan is not struggling and the airflow is excellent.
I just wanted to throw this out there for anyone else that is struggling with odors. They also make a $15 machine that might also work.Walmart has them. I just think the filters they sell aren't ideal for our cause so they need some beefing up.
This one might work well because of the shape. Easy to cut a hole in your box and duct tape it to create the seal.. http://www.target.com/p/holmes-tabl...al_1&lnk=Rec|pdp|ClickCP|item_page.vertical_1
Here is the filter mine uses. Just gently cut 3 sides of the thin top layer and peel it back, you'll see the 2 filter pads inside. Just layer between them with a nice layer of charcoal. Once reassembled the carbon stays in place very well. http://www.target.com/p/holmes-hapf...bber-filter/-/A-14201298#prodSlot=medium_1_21
I can't see why this wouldn't work for all small grows.
Any questions just let me know.
