Hi, I live in a small townhouse complex in vancouver, canada. i have a small room i want to grow in. Is there any suggestions of filtering the smell out of the air? thanks

share your pot with next doors = then no 1 well turn you in.

 

There's a thing you can buy that will filter out the smell. I think they are called "ordor desenitizes" not sure though as I've never had the honor to grow my own reefer.

 

Hey

First of all ignore the comment from spliff that is a sure fire way of getting caught! Number one rule DONT TELL ANYONE!!!!. This is by far the number one way most get caught, by showing off to their buddies or family.
Now what you need is a carbon air filter, you may see cheap alternatives around but believe me these dont work! a good carbon filter may cost a little more but what is freedom worth to you? You may also see forums with all sorts of crap about oils, air freshiners and ionizers dont bother I have used them all and they dont work. Ionizers are the cheap cousins to carbon filters, they do work in a sense but dont waste your money if you are going to do it do it proper.
Go to ebay and type in "Hydroponic carbon air filter" this will give you an idea of what you are looking for, try to get one with a filter and the fan as buying seperate costs a little more. I got one the other day for $150 and it is the best investment I have ever made. Hope this helps you and I hope you dont get your head filled with other rubbish from other forums because plain and simple this is the final solution to odor contol.

cheers

sheap fix i used to use back in the day was a bathroom vent hooked up to a dryer hose going into a bucket half full of mothballs with a hose going outside.
keeping the room cooler helps,dehumidifier helps alot too.

how BAD is the smell gonna be? I'm growing in a closet. We are going to ventilate the room its in daily.

 

Depends. Are you in a house or apt? In a house a vent to the attic with an exhaust fan works great and as long as its not Skunk#1 you should be fine (at least for a few plants). In apartments you have no privacy the walls are thin and everybody knows whats for dinner (if you know what I mean). Carbon filters work exceptionally well.

 

Mmm skunk. Just a thought. But yeah vent but what about start brewing beer all that lovely yeasty smell masking smell n lashing of co2 win win

 

Closet's gettin skunky, need to get a filter in there. A carbon filter is not difficult to build, A way I like a lot is to go to a military surplus store and purchase a chem suit, the american ones are designed for chem warfare in hot places and are actualy quite breathable, they are heavily lined with activated charcoal, hunter buddies wear them hunting cause the animals cant smell those sweaty rednecks through those suits. I like to make them into stash bags that the drugdog has trouble getting past. if you can score just the pants in a hella large fat ass size it'll be cheaper, some areas like 10 bucks, so reach in one pant leg and grab the cuffand pull it through inside out and shove it in the other leg so you have a double layered tube, at the cuff they often have drawstrings so wrap cuffs over the exhaust from your blower and use the derawstrings to affix it on good, then take the drawstring from the waist and tie it around and close up the other end, works good for a closet, if a room i'd suggest getting activated carbon matting, you can purchase or steal it from homedepot for like 30 bucks a roll, sandwich it between the pant legs. Ever see that picture of nam vets hitting a bong crafted from a shotgun?


in holland they had a surplus store the size of a supermarket which if I remember was named somthing like dump 2000 or somthing wierd like that.
