Its amazing how much smell these things put out isn't it? I walked in my house one day and realized that the smell had taken over the entire house. I learned this about the 4th week of vegging with 4 plants. I tried covering it up, but this didn't work. I have heard people talk about using negative ion generators and ozium and cakes or whatever to mask the smell, but what I learned is that you absolutely must scrub the air to get rid of it, you can not mask it totally and if not dealt with, it goes everywhere. This takes a carbon filter and some air flow. The can-filter that I purchased cost me just over $100. It was a very wise investment. Smell is no longer an issue for me here. The filter will last roughly 1 year. When it wears out, I will get another one. Without it, I would never be able to have a visitor in my home, and my secret would definitely get out.

Good luck in solving your problem. I suspect that smell has brought to an end many a clandestine closet grow, long before any other problems crept in.

i too was wondering if this could be purchased at a Home Depot or Lowe's. I live in an apartment, and down the line will need to figure this out, so i can add it into my notes.

In my opinion one word. IONIZER !

No, you can't get these at Lowes or Home Depot. Get on Google and do a search for "can carbon filter hydroponic" and I am positive you will be headed in the right direction. I got mine with cash at a hydroponics supply store in the large city near me. You will also need a fan to pull your air through this filter. I spent $130 on a fan, ducting to draw from 2 tents and another $100 on the filter. Hopefully no one told you that growing was a cheap hobby.

Here are the problems with ionizers. They put a negative charge in the air which makes particles of dust, plant smelly things, etc. attract and attach themselves to the walls and such around this generator. Over time, this is going to build up and create a mess that needs to be cleaned up. I would rather have all that mess trapped in a neat filter that I can simply throw away and replace when it has reached its capacity. Also, if you are trying to get air flow into and out of your grow area, you need to scrub this air going out... most ionizers work best in a less breezy environment or a larger room where the particles have time to do that attraction thing before the air is sucked out and replaced by your air flow system. An ionizer is more of a passive system whereas the can filter is an active scrubbing system designed to work with typical air flow. Some will swear by the ionizers and they must work pretty well in some applications or they wouldn't be sold... but my money is on the active carbon filters used in conjunction with our needs to replace the air supply in our grow rooms on a constant basis.

Now if you want to spend a LOT of money, look into the inline ionizers that use very high voltages and are designed to work in an active air duct system. They probably work pretty good, and for the price they charge for them, they damn well better.
