grow tents ?

Hey I'm, about to invest in a tent and I was thinking insted of a carbon filter I'd split my ducting so that two seperate lines of ducting connect into one and running an ozone gen into one of these ducting lines so it mixes with the funky air from the other line, and when the air finally exits the ducting the funk is gone. I wont be home most of the day which is when the lights will be on aswell as the fans etc. and I figure when I get home I can just open up all the windows to release all the ozone. Then at night when the plants are sleeping the exhaust fan wont be on anyway so no smells will be comong out the tent. What do you think? It's just that I cant have the bulk of a carbon filter, silencer and extra fan.

carbon filters are small. and only really needed near the end..

or just grow a strain that doesnt smell too much.. or only smells when disturbed(knocked etc)
 
HeyTech, I hear you about being able to get small carbon filters but I'm in a flat/apartment and every sq.metre counts. Do you have any experince with ozone gens? I'm thinking I'll take your advice and go carbon but I reckon an ozone gen would be ok. The plants are constantly going to be disturbed by a fan inside the tent, hence the worry about odours.

I have two 4x4x6.5 that I bough for under $90 shipped on ebay. They have the white in the inside but no offgas issues that I can see. As far as light leaks, I have NEVER had a light leak hermie issue. Anything too weak or that hermies get REMOVED. Keep the hardy strains and phenotypes.

I like the white versus the silver, I have grown in both.

you stick the filter right in the top of the tent. it wont take up much room at all. you'd hardly notice its there!

there are a few photos of guys on here with tents and the filters right tucked in the corner..

never used ozone however.. and i dont notice any smell from my widows at the moment. they are 4th week in and with a fan inside also disturbing them all day..

i see what you mean bout lack of vents tech,with mine i can run separate duct and fan line through the cool tube and there is an intake vent at the bottom left and out take top right back.im thinking bout running a 10inch intake and an 8inch exhaust and just split the duct so the exhaust is sucking air through the cool tube and the carbon filter if you get my drift?
just dont wanna but three fans.
