What to use to test carbon filter in grow box?

[bugmenot11]

What smell do you think can match the potency of flowering buds?

I need to test my carbon filter. I don't want to start my first grow and get my plant to the smelly part of the cycle and realize my house stinks. I'd have to do a filter all over again and stealth would be compromised by then!

What ideas do you have? Coffee or something like that? Or is that not strong enough? I've never smelled a flowering weed plant before.

i cant think of any smell that even comes close to its power and smell. maybe lumberger cheese.

I lit some incense and let it fill up for a while. Turned on the fan and could smell a very faint, fruity scent from it.

Opened the box and it was stinking incense badly.

What do you guys think? Should I go for it?

I've got a DIY carbon scrubber and although my plants are only 18 days in flower they already are a bit stanky when I open the grow box, on the outside there is not smell whatsoever.

Slevinkal, how many plants in how big a grow room?

Its just a 6 sq/f area with two females

If you're going to have a large area you would prob want to buy or build a bigger version of my DIY'er. IDK how far mine'll go yet but I've read only good feedback from other box growers, some with 4-6 nice sized fems.
