hello guys this is my first post on IC

actually im shitting my pants because i plan to run 2400w hps sealed with a great strain ( gelato larry bird), and even if ill be sealed as much as possible, i dont how i will manage the smell

ill of course use a scrubber or 2 inside the room, and a small ozone gen outside, eventually ONA too

are you guys experimented with growing elite genetics in sealed environnement ?

the room is separated from the living room with a small corridor but i must avoid iny smell in the stairs since i have neightboors

ah and i have a central ventilation system, not sure if i can use i with a carbon before it ..
thanks

If you are just trying to scrub the air in the room, I have seen people put the can style filters on the ground, with the fan connected directly to it set to pull through the filter and push the clean air into the room. They just put it in a corner and plugged it in and let it run 24/7. If you do that, at the minimum put some pantyhose over the fan output, so nobody sticks their hand in there.

^^ thats what i do..

If you're running dehueys put them near them as they work better with dryer air.. you can have bigger ones you turn on when the stink gets really real..

Welcome to ICMag!

It sounds like you're new to growing. Your best bet is to start small and work your way up to 2400w. Why?

With a smaller amount of light you get:
Fewer plants to track nutritional needs as you learn how to grow
Lower heat and humidity fluctuations as you learn HVAC
Lower resources wasted when things go wrong
Lower odor to deal with during flower and harvesting/drying

Whatever lower wattage lighting you go with, you can generally use it for veg/mum/cloning later when you scale up. No loss of resources and nothing but gain for your experience.

In every state where cannabis growing has suddenly become legal, craigslist and other resources have been FLOODED with used grow equipment within a year. Why? People go big, they go loud and they find they're not growers. It happens, we all have our individual talents. It just makes me cringe to see new growers doing the same thing.

Be different, start smart, start small.

If your room is sealed you don't have POS/neg pressure, you looking for tricks or magic Bro?

Tricks would be photo catalytic oxidation with uvc or prokure timed release gasses along with carbon and HEPA filtration.

I see where this is going. I've been reading threads like this for nearly 20 years now. Good luck!

That's what ya get for treating people like idiots, especially when you do not understand their situation and make assumptions. What did you expect?

I agree with Lost. Have a primary can sized to the room and a secondary to reduce load during mid to late flower.

You can buy furnace filters with carbon but I doubt the efficacy. To my mind I would put the living space under slight negative pressure to catch any stray odours but this will drive up your heating bill.

yes man youre right i dont need any neg/pos pressure
i think the key is to seal any cracks as best as i can with a scrubber running to delete some smells

thanks for the links i appreciate

i really cant put my finger on your case..


people assumed you were new to business and gave you advice.. you took offence..


you dont really describe your setup.. some vaque ideas but .. I can not see the reason and that would not be the way I would go.



search posts about sealed room projects and read them through to give you better idea what you are dealing with and what you might face.


seal up any cracks as best as you can.. sorry to say bro .. but that is not good enough for sealed room.. they MUST be sealed - ALL of them.


just few post down there is a nice thread about covering smells ..
