ebay ozium plugin can sprayers. they got cheap ones and adjustable ones. the stuff is made from essential oils and is non toxic, well i think it is the stuff I get at the local gas station is 100% organic and I assume its the same stuff. They sell oils to you can put on rings around light bulbs. Ozone is poison.

what strain is it? that makes a difference as do lots of other things.....
on ebay u can get extractor fan with ducting and carbon filter for about £100 ($160?), bit less if ur real lucky. with fluors this might be overkill but u wont smell a thing if u got the doors closed- until u turn the fan off!

I have a air purifier in my closet with a ionizer, it works pretty good.

Ionizer are good for the heath of the plants as neg ions have healing powers but I made a giant one and it did not cover the smell so well. I had a couple few plants though times many more.

bghydro was running a sale on some smaller carbon filters. I got one, works great, room completely odorless now (and man was it smelly before!). However, you need a decent fan to push (or pull) air through them. Think they have one for like $80 and one for $100 (the sale-priced ones). If the sale is still going on (it was last week).

If you only have one plant though, I don't know that it's worth the expense. I tried some sheets of Bounce on my exhaust port, but that didn't work very well for me with eight plants. Might not be too bad with just one plant though. Home Depot also sells some filters, the big square ones, that say they have activated carbon in them (but it can't be much because they're light). A few layers of that on your exhaust port might help. Those are like $15 or so, if I recall.

I'd get some Bounce sheets and try that first, if I were you, and see how bad the smell gets. Some strains aren't all that stinky, and some are terribly smelly. And one plant, maybe it won't be that big a deal.

just get activated carbon and put it in between. I hear radiator fans work well. Motorcycle radiator fans for smaller set ups.

you might try these affordable ionizer lightbulbs ... these are cheapest ones I've found ... I have heard they work pretty well, plus the bonus of a bit more light :smokin:
