hey so i have recently moved somewhere that odour is a concern and i could use some help on understanding the best methods and calculations.

my area for new start is roughly 35 ftcu so how big of an FAN AND Carbon filter would i need during flower in this space? the actual measurements are 32in x 32in x 63in if that helps plus what can i do for added security as far as smell? this is a small test grow but the girls are hella stanky
they are autoflowers going threw aquaponics
the tent has both 4" and 6" holes for fans
i will post pics when i get this odor under control.

What's up guys. I'm on my third grow. My first two were autoflowers and this one is also. The reason I do auto's are because they are quick to harvest, you can stagger plants because you don't have to switch lights and they are better for stealth grows. My grow room is 29X36X60 inches. I use cfl's 6500k for veg and 2700k for flower. I use 10 23 actual watts 1600 lumen bulbs. Generally a bulb around each bud site and 3 on the main cola. My first grow was a ak47 fem seed from attitude. Paper towel germ, planted in FFOF and it was a little hot. I didn't use much nutes. I only fed her probably 5 times. My biggest problem was temps. Usually in the 85 90 range. I was forced to harvest because by day 55 the smell wall crazy. The whole house reeked of skunk. My yield was 1.5 oz of semi airy but potent bud. My next grow was a candy kush auto. This bitch grew fast and bigwas at cloudy pistils by day 63. I chopped her at day 67. I made a DIY filter with carbon. Needless to say it didn't mask the smell either. The candy kush smell less skunky and more fruity but you could smell it and you knew what it was. I have another ak47 going now on day 10. I'm waiting for my inline combo to arrive any day now. Its a 220cfm htg with a fresh filter. We will see how this goes. But if smell is an issue the resolve it with a good filter. The only way to find out information is to read as much as you can. Get different perspectives and chose a course. There will be issues but if you have come this far you will handle them accordingly. Btw my candy kush gave me 2.5 oz both dry and the potency is very good.

The sand on the soil is because I developed a pest problem on the candy kush, so I had to treat with neem oin and sand. When a issue pop up I hit the net, research it and do my best. So far I have been impressed. These guys on these different forums really do offer a lot of advice. My advice is to not try to grow the plant, just provide what it need and let the plant grow. We always want to do something for her. Just let her grow.
