Do you run odor control for Moms?

If i want to keep a mother plant i would probably have to build a second box. Do you guys run a carbon scrubber on your mother box/veg box? I'd only have 1 plant in it to take cuttings. Was considering just using Ona Pro.

Depends on the strain. Some go well into flower before smelling at all. Some stink to high heaven the moment they leave the seedling stage.

dependent on strain and how much odor you can take.
I usually don't use a carbon filter until flowering start, even though it usually reeks.

I use one in my mother room. I have 6 mothers though. I don't think it's good to take chances. Smell attracts attention. I only use a 4inch elicit fan + 4 inch phresh filter. Not cheap, but it will last for a long long long time. Worth the investment.

I find that most mother plants smell of a more familiar pot smell that is more noticeable to people than most flowering plants but it's alot easier to cover up.

i wouldnt worry about the mom, too fresh and green and can be easily masked with ona or equivalent.

i found it depended on how many mothers and how long they've been mothering... if a lot and they are big they do tend to smell but nothing that's uncontrollable.

Can you link me to the fan and filter? Is it just a fan and scrubber?
