I don't think the smell is because I have my plants out of the tent now. I have them in my closet which is about 8x6. I keep the door shut and have even lined the bottom of the door with clothes to keep any smell from getting out during the day when I got to work. I have left the filter running all day and even after I get home from work and open the door to the closet it absolutely reeks. The carbon filter is making absolutely no difference. The company even says just put the fan/filter in the room that you are having odor problems with and watch the odor disapear. Disappear my ass. It made absolutely no difference. After running for ten hours straight in an isolated closet you can even tell there was a carbon filter in there. I don't know if I just got a shitty brand or what. I got it on ebay and it was made by Foothill Filters. I made sure it was topped off with carbon and everything. This makes no sense. Something has got to give though. My plants are almost done flowering, but the smell is very obvious. I already planted the seeds for my next crop so in a month or two the smell will be back. Sooner or later somebody is going to come in my apartment that I don't want knowing about my little growing operation. I absolutely have to solve the odor problem one way or another, but I'm having a hell of a time figuring out what is the best way to solve the problem. I looked into the Ona deals, but they only last 2-3 weeks. I have been looking into negative ion generators, but I don't know how well they actually work with this sort of application. I've also looked into ozone generators, but I don't know if that is the way I want to solve the problem. I'm seriously considering an air purifer that has an ozone generator, negative ion generator and a carbon filter. The thing that bothers me is this unit that has those three things only costs $60. It is made for a small room, but still any thing that is worth a shit should cost more than that. Here is what I've been looking at NEGATIVE ION GENERATOR CARBON FILTER UV AIR PURIFIER - eBay (item 160423001280 end time May-12-10 10:00:52 PDT)
does anybody have any experience with something like this or ion generators?
DaDuck Reviewed by DaDuck on . Air Scrubbing I am in the 6th week of flowering on my first grow. I live in a one bedroom apartment and the smell is getting pretty strong. The plants are in a walk in closet in my bedroom, but it's to the point now where I can smell them all the way over by the front door. I like the smell, but I doubt the apartment people would. If the maitenance guys came in here for some reason I'd be fucked. I have a small grow tent, but my plants got too big for it. I don't really want to buy a bigger tent though. I am Rating: 5
