Pure Growing

High everybody,Let me start out by saying I'm new to this site, but I very much like and respect what our community has done here. I'm a big supporter of national legalization and being in Michigan, I have a (state) legal medical marijuana card due to chronic knee pain. But, I have a problem. My problem is not that i haven't read almost every post on almost every page of almost every website about who, what, where, when, why and how to produce, cultivate, and create this, amazing living organism. My problem is that I do not, and have never, grown. So, needless to say, I'm personally inexperienced with the whole process and evolution of this/our/everyone's beautiful god given creation, with the exception of occasionally being around a few grow closets/rooms/houses, with my first observation always being, of course, the smell. I own an HVAC company here in MI and I specialize in Indoor Air Quality. So I've learned almost everything there is to know about IAQ over the past 16 years and have access to MANY indoor air quality products/contacts, with some only being available to very limited clients. As I search around the Internet (this site included) I don't seem to find anything on what people are (effectively) doing for the odors and contamination in their grow environments (odors, mold, bacteria, spores, VOCs). With the exceptions being, VERY dangerous ozone generators, stuff you rub on the floor?, and, of course, the expensively maintained and very large carbon filter setup. Which, non of, can I imagine, work all that well. Again, with my personal in-experience, I'm not 100% sure that they dont, but I do know of some houses that you can smell it from the driveway. So, with this being my specialty, I'd love to ask some of you wonderful, marijuana professional, growing experts for your opinions, comments, concerns about your main issues with IAQ, odors and complications you encounter with the growing process. Then, hopefully, I'll have access to a much more efficient solution to one of your/mine/our/horticulturists/marijuana consumers (apparently everywhere?) problems. I'm about 90% sure I have at least one product that will work better, be more efficient, probably cheaper, and much smaller then the carbon filter setup and the others. From what I've seen (after weeks of searching for a better solution for the collective, us) I believe I can produce something that could benefit everyone. With this being a "sensitive" subject (laugh) for larger IAQ corporations, I do not believe our demographic has been properly educated with all of the adequate options in IAQ in this age of technology. As most horticulturalist (and their neighbors) know, every person in their general area is effected (including my daughter, who is unknowingly (for now) exposed to it everyday from her step-fathers basement) are probably suffering undue stress from lack of knowledge and proper education of indoor air quality. So please, whether you warehouse/home/closet/cab/drawer/mico/etc. growing feel free to complain about your problems, I'm just trying to make it a more pleasant, and accepted, experience for EVERYONE!
