Need a temporary quick fix for odor control without carbon filter - Page 2 - Grow Room Safety - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Homeless dudes, lots of homeless dudes.

I cross over an area of a homeless camp under the expressway,
maybe 15-20 dudes and I get a good whiff, smell will cover
anything you grow.

Homeless dudes I say, lots of homeless dudes.

Ona works wonders... or those timed misters... but if it smells that strong you need to hurry up and get that carbon filter.

One can easily be made as well...

Just get the carbon filter.

About half of the threads on ICmag are "Well I know that the right way is X, but I am going to do Y, so what should I do?"

X, you should do X.

In this case, X is a carbon filter or ozone gen with a duct fan.

Magic trees,ona gel,incense sticks,etc. where the air is exhausted..not in the grow room.Many years ago,the first time I grew the uk cheese clone,I had a big problem with smell even with a carbon filter.I stupidly hung around 20 magic trees around the filter and it tainted the herb.Cooking smells can help,but at the end of the day,trying to cover up one pungent smell with another is a long and dedicated game and doesn't really work.I'm with the above poster,just get a carbon filter,nowadays they're so cheap it isn't worth the risk of not using one.

Have you got an old CF laying about?If so you can tape up the half of it which is closest to the open end because that is where the carbon will have been 'used' as they only really draw air in at that end (nearest the point of suction)...the half near the 'closed' end will barely have been touched..I promise you it works and will get you out of a fix for sure.

Get a load of fresh cow manure dropped off at your place.

Nobody will come near you for a while.
