I also made one similar to his, using a DIY Guide on this site in the FAQ. I used a 5 gallon bucket, and a ten inch round fan that just sit ont he top of the bucket, blowing into the bucket. I used CAT LITER, about 6 inches dep, with Urine Be Gone and ONA poured into it. It works great. I bet his does too!

:clap::clap::clap: for you!!!! Mr fan was $10 and my bucket was $8.00. You beat me on price for sure!

just wanna make this clear...

So we definetly want the fan to be blowing the air into the bucket, not out.

correct?

and the holes that are drilled on the sides is how the air comming in is going to be released...

sry if its a stupid question... but at first i would assume you want the febreeze to leave the bucket to freshen the air, the other way makes sense as well however; just wanted to make sure which method is better.

Thanks in advance.

Ahh no worries,

I did have mine setup to pull air out and it worked fine. Why don't you try it pulling in and let us know the results.

Good luck.

Every time I mix chemicals with the smell of pot, it makes it seem like the pot is 10x stronger if the odor eliminator doesn't KILL the odor...

I have cologne, febreeze, spray, oust, doctor's office restroom spray... nothing over powers the smell of my pot... it mixes and makes the pot smell 10x worse...

Even with this method..

Any help with that?

dont try to cover it kill the smell there are gels like Order way and Skunk something i forget that absorb the odor and break it down. carbon filters and hepa filters help and so do UV lights and UV geneartors just not in the grow room as it hurts the plants. Perfumes just attach to the smell and then you have a mix of crap to breath and smell

Febreeze and any other "cover up" with a deorderizer might damage your plants, not to mention your health.

By evaping the febreeze at a larger qty in the air what do you think happens when it gets to your plants??? I bet they don't care for it much.

Active carbon will neturlize it without hurting you or your plants, let alone adding another smell to the air.\
Also cops and others know a coverup smell when they smell it, especially bacon (remember they have seminars, not to mention they've seen/smelt it before),
removing the odor is the safest and most effective way.

Dont use candles, the wax in the air will harm them.

I first made a DIY 5 gallon bucket and ten inch fan on top with a charcoal filter. Wasn't worth a toot, either. Plants still stunk.
Then I changed to Freebreeze, and that was much better.
Then I changed to moth balls, and that was much much better.
Then I changed to ONA, and that really was the best.
