get your self a couple sticks deodorant and use them daily ! no but for real if your only doing 4 pants a $400 scrubber and blower arnt really worth it but if you got the money thats the best way and the safest to way to remain undetected but if you cant afford it and your looking for a cheaper way Ozium works great but you needs to be sprayed about every 2 hours..but they have automatic sprayer that are about 45$ and ozium can is anywhere from $8 to $22 all differnt cans they spray differntly too .... but glad plugin around your home are key for having guest over and not Having a CLue of what you do ! hope this helpd sorry for the typos im too lazy

is the ozium sold only online?? and i found a small 4 in vacum fan and a carbor filter one with the pineapple charcal or what ever for about 180. so i feel that would be the smartest only cause i rather be over protective about the smell then under protective and get myself caught. i purchased a few small cans of ona and i mean it works but it defineitely dose not take the smell away. i have a train wreck plant anda sour desal cheese under the flower for my first grow and its anout week in ahalf in flower and its starting to get a little smelly in there.

Same here, I'm growing four plants at a time and I haven't got the space, set-up or money to accommodate carbon filtering.

Up to now I've been using Ona blocks. I used one at the start of vegging when the plant wasn't particularly smelly (The smell of freshly pre-mixed soil under lights is smelly). The first one really started to lose it's strength last week, I'm six weeks into flowering.
I've replaced it with a fresh ona block now and the smell is gone again, they're only about $8 dollars each and they get the job done for small grows if you've no other option.

The plants I'm growing are the Skunk #1 and I have a northern lights autoflower dwarf that's a week or so from harvest. Weirdly enough I've started to really enjoy the smell when I take the block out. I thought it would be a horrible, damp, weedy plant smell (this is my first grow) but it turned out to be a nice sweet/spicey herb smell which I love. I would honestly have the smell there all the time if it didn't raise eyebrows :biglaugh:

Seriously though, Ona blocks work for my small grow and are really cheap off ebay, that's my two cents.

Put it this way, how much is your freedom worth?

A carbon filter and fan is a cheap way to stay out of jail, avoid getting ripped off or evicted. Avoid Cheese and Skunk crosses as they tend to be the worst, but there is nothing that can compete with a proper carbon filter, trust me on this.

Hallelujah! Sing me the truth, my brother!

You don't need the largest filter known to man. You can go with smaller or DIY models that may require refilling more often but will fit your grow.

Seriously, if space is the issue, lose a plant or two. Now you have space. Smelling is worse than telling. Smelling is advertising. Smelling is begging for trouble.

space is not the problem just the clones i could get my hands on happend to be sour desial cheese and dumpster which to me seem to be pretty damn stinky. i also have a trainwreck but its smell is no where near as noticible or stroge at the other two plants in the room.

I had just one Chemdog and my neighbors let me know they could smell it 3 floors down from me. That was with a CAN 2600 and 4"CAN FAN. I have since upgraded!

Never underestimate the power of any chemdog related (ie sour diesel) ability to stink up the place beyond your anticipations. I am just plain lucky I had cool neighbors who clued me in, because your sense of smell gets used to it's usual odors and I hadn't noticed it!
