I have a six by eight grow room with three Plants that are 4 weeks old and I'm already smelling the plants. Its in my closet of my upstairs bedroom. Don't need to do anything yet but wondering what I should as the smell gets stronger. I have kids and family is over alot so I don't want anybody to be able to smell anything. I was wondering if using a good bathroom ventalation fan would do the job. Suck the air outside. This is my first time so I have no idea how strong the plants get. Thanks

Get a carbon filter. A good one like Can or Phresh. Oversize the filter.

Match your filter/fan combo. Filter should filter more cfm's than the fan can pull.

The carbon filter has to be exhausing out of the grow space and it has to maintain negative pressure in the grow space. If you are just growing in a walk-in closet you are going to have issues. You will have to make a hole somewhere in the wall to exhaust the air out of. If you just put the filter in the room recirculating the air it won't do squat.

I do have a window in the closet so I can make a make shift board for the window to put the exhaust in. All good info that will help thanks.i did find some carbon filter kits on Amazon that come with the inline fan. I think the one i was looking at was 190 cfms and 4 inch× 1 ft carbon filter.

Has anyone ever told you about what happens to kids in the "system"?

I digress, a bathroom fan should work fine, a more expensive inline would be better, the expensive filters are worth it.

Find another place to grow that doesn't endanger the future of your kids' lives.
