sorry. just a thought.

wouldn't the filter be easier to hide if it was in the room with the plants? just a thought.

that's what I was thinking...

regarding the pulling or pushing air through the filter..

i have never seen anybody PUSH air through a filter.. although I have heard it talked about....


that white wrap around the filter is used to keep dust and debris from entering the filter.. correct... well, if you are blowing air into the filter, then it might have a shorter life expectancy.. because of the LACK of filtration..

It may also be harder on the fan to push air through a clogged filter and slowly reduce the life of your FAN engine

this is all just speculation

AND of course the most important factor is NO SMELL...

ah, the outer filter.........

Id go ahead and remove the odor scrubber and the hose and fix any holes you made then call him to come over and take a quick look.If need get or borrow a dog to put locked up in the garage while he is there incase for some reason they would want to go in there.Tell them its a friends dog and you dont trust him to let people in there.Change the locks after the landlord gets done.

I would agree with knowm on how to make the filter more efficient but more importantly is that our friend has a ozone generator pumping inside the grow room. Which is what I thought I saw in a picture but thought I had to be crazy. Correct me if I'm wrong but this is BAD for your plants and worse it could hurt you and or any pets you may have.
I have an ozone generator that I used for a week and is now permanently retired.
Its not like he doesn't have enough room in there for the filter!

i like this idea a lot... even if it can't be a dog.. maybe there is another GEAT excuse...

ONCE, the POPO came to the door for a robbery that took place across the street... and the dogs saved the day... the popo had no interest in coming inside with 450lbs of dogs barking behind the door...

I have seen a few rooms with BIG filters like trenton's on the outside of the room though, with the air being pushed through. That urbangrower guy on youtube. He goes to some sick medical grow ops and I have def seen filters setup like this in some of them ops. Which are usually a similar size to trenton's grow here.

Good point about the dust though actually. I hadn't thought about that, the filter will work still, but I guess the efficiency of the fan and filter could be reduced over time. But my point about double filtration still stands!

GREAT POINTS SNOW WHITE....

hahahaha, yeah. I think the biggest lesson here is don't grow 60 plants in a rented house where your landlord lives across the street! Unless you really want some drama in your life! LOL

How's it going today trenton? Any more dramas? I can't wait till you tell us this is all over and you're in the clear and have changed the locks! Best of luck dude!

All I have to do know is get a big door poster of a hot chick or something.

how about a dry erase board of some sort rather than a poster?
"shopping list.."
Milk
Eggs
Beer
Antifungal Cream
blah blah blah

also as mentioned by some others... the filter is designed for air sucking in rather than blowing out. the material wrapped around the outside of the filter is designed as a "prefilter" and it will keep your expensive carbon lasting longer. the prefilter will collect dust and larger bits which allows the carbon to absorb odors. without the prefilter in place the carbon gets gunked up with this dust and other matter.

most prefilters can be removed and cleaned as needed.

damn is all i can say. keep up the hard work trenton!

are you allowed pets, just say there is a dog in there thats ill, or had pups, and you cannot move it. and get you dad to do all the work the landlord wants to do. he will be well happy, if you do the jobs he wants to do for free, or just move all the pipes and put somthing over the hole. like somone said a message board.

Nice grow. I need a seat for this one.

nice grow! that's a scary incident with the landlord. No worries though read this...

If a landlord suspects a tenant of doing something wrong, can he go in and look around? No. A tenant has a right to quiet enjoyment of their home. A landlord is bound by the constitution too. Even a police officer may not search without probable cause and a warrant.

hey trent I know you are tired of hearing about the filter but if u flip it the filter will work better like they said right now the prefilter is useless fliped around the intake surface will be 20 times bigger than the 6-8in area it has now and it will be out of site good luck

By keeping the filter in the other room you wouldnt have to worry about moving the washer and dryer either, all you would have to do was have something readily available to hang over the whole, like the dry erase board already mentioned, all would look right...

And I just called my local hydro store, because I really wanted to hear from them about this because I was super curious, and his response was "You could do it that way but why would ya? Could cut down the filter life by half...

Anyway, we all just really wanna see this grow all the way through, trying to think outside the box.......

Spent the morning reading all the post. I'm new here and didn't realize until half way thru that I could subscribe to the thread, so I did. I am about to start a new crop and thought I would read up on what's new out there.

Very impressive grow dude. On the landlord issue, dayum pity.

I know hindsight is 20/20 but next time, go to your town's tax foreclosure auction and buy your own place straight out. Since it doesn't seem too much like money is exactly an issue for you, why not start looking into it now.

I did it 4 years ago and will pick up another in the spring. No landlord, no mortgage, no worries. My new house will be a perpetual grow set up like yours, but using my mother plants; instead of buying clones - which I can't do in my state even if I wanted too. So I will be watching your trials and tribulations regularly.

Now I know that I am a totally naturally paranoid person, so it is nice that I atleast have the guarantee and peace of mind that no one has the right to enter my place besides me.

And, other than the occasional cable dude or gas/electric guy; I never have company inside my house while plants are underway. My grows have been save and sound, though infrequent for the past 4 years.

Good luck and I am begging the powers that be, that this will work out okay for you.

Looking good.

Just like everyone else said sorry to hear about the bull.

What does the landlord what the elec. to do or check out? You have the open wall so can you see any romex wires or do you know where the elec out puts run to?

As a handy Man my self I just go do the job, I don't try to make a big deal over it. I have gone to ppls houses and seen all types of things and just walk past it.

I also have had cust. ask if I wanted to smoke with them but I would never do that while I'm on the job. lol

The thing that I'm courious about is that he had an elec. right there with out any formal conformation with you. ????????

Have you ever seen this guy before? Who does he work for? Is he lic.? Mabe he is not who he says he is. Mabe hes tring to find out more info on you.

But...

I would just be friendly and try to find out what they are tring to fix.

Put a lock on the door to your grow area, turn off the whole system when he is there. And get a big ass dog that foams at the mouth.
