I'm having a major problem with smell and I don't really know why. I have a Can 66 in a DR120 tent hooked to an 8" can fan. My whole house reeks and I need to do something about it.
I have the tent sitting in a bedroom and all I am doing is pulling air out of the tent and blowing it around in the bedroom. I thought that with the air getting recirculated through the filter in the room over and over that it would remove more of the odor? During the day and when the lights are on I open the window in this bedroom to let in fresh air. But when the lights are out I just leave everything all closed up. The lights come on in 3 hours and the smell is pretty bad in my house right now. I only have 3 plants in this tent, but they're pretty good sized. Today is day 47 of flowering.
Should I cut a hole in the ceiling in this bedroom and just blow the air into my attic? It's basically all I can do to try to get the smell down in the house. But I'm worried that then people might be able to smell it outside, but I only have one house near mine and they smoke, so I guess it's not a big deal?
This Can 66 is brand new. Well it was brand new at the beginning of this grow. It's only been being used for maybe 60 days at the most. The humidity in the room and tent never goes above 50%. I've read that high humidity can diminish how good the Can filter removes odors? But I didn't think that 40%-50% RH would be too much?
Another thing that I forgot to mention is that I can't hang this Can 66 from the ceiling of the tent since it won't support the weight of it, so I have it sitting on top of two milk crates in there. I have air going into the filter, through the Super Sun 2 hood then out the tent through the 8" Can Fan. It seemed to work better getting rid of the smell after I added teh second milk crate under it a couple weeks ago, but it seems like the Can 66 isn't even working now. That's how bad the smell is.
