it looks like this. http://www.bing.com/shopping/Febreeze-04530-True-Air-Odor-Eliminator/search?q=febreze%20true%20air&p1=%5bCommerceService+scenario%3d%22o%22+docid%3d%22D9935DC93DB62CE1D7BD%22%5d&wf=Commerce

behind the grate is an activated carbon pad. it's been a little over a month and it's still working. will probably have to replace the filter in a month. so i get 2 months out of the filter that is advertised to last "up to 4 months depending on the concentation of odor", the replacement filters are 3 for 20 bucks at the store but way cheaper online. less than 40 bucks for the year in replacement filters. not bad if you ask me.

i have that same one in my bathroom works fine, another good thing to mask the odor would be ona gel or ozeum spray. there are many threads on here about making an ona gel bucket they are good. you can also buy an automatic dispenser that will spray ozeum at different intervals. for your small size, i would get one of these dispensers and see how it goes. gl

Try ona block keep it in your room outside your grow space. You still want to vent your grow space but this will keep the smell down I use it and it works well for me. Good luck

buy a cheap ionizer. Problem solved.

It all comes down to the fact that really good weed smells during flowering. If it doesn't smell, it probably isn't worth growing. They key is to constantly vent the room. Don't allow the odor to build up.

lol?
smell doesn't affect the quality of the high. the combination of thc % and cbd do.
also, some strains just don't smell as much as others. i really hope you were trolling and aren't really that misinformed.

Ionizer? That will take the smell away?

It will help. An ozone generator will DEFINITELY take the smell out (and kill everything in the room and degrade plastic and rubber if you leave it on too long)

Just build a cheap carbon filter and be done with it. there are plans all over that internet thing. Your looking at like $40.

Everything I tried, 100s of dollars wasted, failed to work properly. The only thing that's worked for me without complaint is the ozone generator. You can't have it in the grow room because it will give you a headache, but you can put it inside a vent hose and use an inline fan to vacate odors from the room to the attic. My ozone generator was about a hundred dollars.

It is always about after they've been given their last dose of ferts in dirt and ph water is only used that they start stinking. In my F&D lavarock system I run ferts all the time. I've had people at my property that don't smoke cigs and asked them if they could smell pot growing. I got a no for an answer. The other two and only people in my op have reported that the air is fresh and nice. I know that when I cut them down and vase them in RO water for the last twenty-four hours they stink up everywhere. So...

you cut them and then put them in a vase after you harvest? that is pretty interesting i would like to know more about your technique. please explain.

Well, the increased air flow might give you a few more horsepower, but won't likely do shit for the smell.

This is probably overkill for your 1 plan but:

this is the type of thing you need. Either way you need to make sure the filter you get has activated carbon in it or it wont work for what you want it to.

For $60 (Probably $100 w/ shipping.), you can't go wrong.

Instead of stop using ferts I use this method to purify them much like dirt farmers use non fert water at the end of their grow. I have clones of different ages going all the time in my F&D lava rock budding system so I don't have time to run straight water. I crop in stages so I'm not stuck cleaning a whole whack of weed all at once, every two weeks. This process gives the weed a good flavour and a good smell after it's cured. I actually don't use a vase I just used that term so the common person will understand. I have a water trough mounted to the wall in my flowering room. It has a float valve, an electronic valve and an upper resivoir that I fill with RO water, all to ensure that the plants don't go dry during this process. It is very important that your plants don't go dry during this process. I first started doing this in the eighties with my outdoor grows but I used spring water back then. RO water does have a better effect than spring water. I always remove my plants when they're done as soon as the lights come on.

that sounds like a good idea i will try that with one or two of my girls and see how i like the results. thanks for the info. +rep.

I have found that it is nearly impossible to get rid of the smell completely. I run two 30"X16" active carbon filters which is more than twice what is recommended for my 300 cu.ft. of airspace. My inline fans create strong negative pressure in the room, so I know air is not escaping anywhere. I vent the filtered air up into the attic and it passively goes outside through the attic vents. I don't smell a thing until the last week or two of flowering, when the plants just reek (35 plants). Every so often, during that time, when I pull up to my house, I just faintly get a whiff of ganja in the air. Especially, when the outside air is cool and calm. The truth is, no matter what you do, that distinct pot smell can still be detected by people with a good sense of smell, and no doubt any trained pot smelling dogs.

Even though you may never get the smell to go away completely, active carbon filters are still very effective in reducing the smell 99%. I know my entire block would reek if I wasn't running them.

hi
I use a carbon scrubber and two of these and they work great in my grow room. The small one costs 20 pound in the UK. They really have solved my smell issues which were very bad.....
