Using an Onion to control odor

My plants are starting to get stinky, even w/ the closet door closed, if I open the door to the room, it spreads halfway throughout the house. I read somewhere that slicing an onion up is a great way of clearing up a smelly cellar/basement. I would smell oniony for a day but after that it neutrilizes the smells. I quartered a yellow onion and stuck it in the grow closet, and it's cancelled the smell of the plants out completly, pretty cool. I know eventually I'll build a filter but its a great and cheap temporary fix.:thumbsup:

To tell you where I got this whacked out idea, and that I'm not pulling it from my ass see:8 Surprising Household Deodorizers : RealSimple.com

sprinkling fresh coffee grounds, around a room will rid it of almost ANY odor, but the smell will return if the plants are still there ... good for fast de-odorizing, after taking a growroom down in a hurry ... :smokin:

place more normal house hold plants in ur house
i find it helps with the smell
dunno why
peace

or a 12 lb carbon filter
cant smell shit

I smoke weed to cover the odor.

Great!
I already use half an onion in my fridge to keep the odors away.
