Hay do you smell that?

All growers that addressed this problem threw experience:

What is the best way to mask or eliminate raw marijuana smell from drying or from actual growing of that sweet, great, smelling, wonderful plant?


List your best solutionS for this pesky problem:

I have been told sprays, bounce dryer sheets, coffee beans, and other loud good smelling plants.

What is the opinion of those who are actually growing?

Most people rely on carbon scrubbers.

Can fan combos as an air scrubber. Zero smell.

I kept a 12x15 grow room with 56 4 ft plants under control with a. 8" 500 something CFM inline fan and a huge ass carbon filter. The carbon filter was the size of--and weighed as much as-- a small water heater, cost about 600 bucks. Overkill, but absolutely no smell.

I found making my own more cost effective, plus I can empty the spent carbon and refill, can you refill your commercial filter? Thats a lot of fucking plants btw
I run co2 so exhausting is a no no, I recirculate room air thru a carbon scrubber that pulls air thru 2 inches of sctivated charcoal, my room is small so I got by with a 170 cfm can fan. The filter holds 15 pounds of activated charcoal.omg an ebay plug! may as well plug whats near and dear to me tube8.com!
err actually......https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/346967-my-first-grow.html#post4373353

I have a 6" 424 CFM fan connected to a carbon filter that is 16" long and about 30" round (7.6 lbs activated carbon) leading outside threw a duct in the ceiling right over my 20 white widow plants (the room is about the same size as an average full bath 9 ft long, 5 ft wide, and 8 ft in hight). (carbon scrubber $200 on ebay)

Currently in veg state so no smell yet.

Do you guys think that is enough to eliminate the smell of budding and drying? and Do i keep the fan on all day and night 24/7, or in increments for example every 6 hours for 30 mins at a time or something along those lines?

Also is there a spray that would do a good job masking the left over smell and is also safe to spray in the same room as the plants?

seems like a big fan for such a small filter but wtf do I know, I built mine and probably made it twice the size I really needed. I'd run it 24/7 . I have no idea about sprays but I was looking at this stuff called ona gel I think , dunno how its applied but I've seen people mention somewhere near the exhaust, I also read something that said the taste and smell of their buds were ruined by using that shit in the same room. You haven't said if you are exhausting or (if you run co2) in a sealed environment. If its the latter you must be re-circulating in the room, if not you're pumping co2 right out the exhaust and I'm sure you wouldn't do that.

AJ- that should be enough- the important thing is to have enough cfm moving over the charcoal, so as to scrub the air ten times over every hour on the hour.

Always wanted to make my own scrubber, just lack the discipline to do so. The commercial brands are worth their weight in gold, however, because they really do work beautifully.

Either way, scrubbin' that air is the only way to go. Don't waste your time with ozone or any money on that ona gel crap. Both ruin the flavor of the buds.

And run that scrubber 24-7, too. No breaks.

The moment you turn that off, that unwanted tomato smell will permeate your abode.

thanxs dudeoflife you gave me great info thanx so much
