Finally got paranoid and installed a carbon filter

We have been growing in our apartment for a couple years now and no one has given us any trouble about it, but last week the downstairs neighbor knocked on the door and politely asked if we had ever heard of smokeless ashtrays. I told her that we don’t smoke, which is true. We use a Volcano vape except for rare occasions when I light up a bowl of pressed kief.

I kind of expected that eventually we might need an exhaust fan and filter. My wife decided to get it from Vivosun on Amazon. It cost us less than $120. The tent is 4x4 feet.

You've had some extremely tolerant neighbours

I guess. I think it helps that they all cook smelly food. That’s what I smell every time I go out in the hallway. We also have cats that create their own stinkiness to camouflage the terpenes.

If it matters, we have a closet that we use for vegging seedlings and clones or re-vegging females. I have not gotten a filter for the closet because it doesn’t have flowering plants in it. I am assuming that the flowering plants are the stinky ones.

They all smell but yeah in bud it's far stronger.

Next time you get a filter, like in 9 month, get a bigger one of better quality, itl last 2-3 years or more

I used to think that too but when my 1st plant was still a couple months away from being ready for flower, it started stinking. I had get my exhaust set up at that time.

They’re great, I live in a no-smoking apartment building. I chain smoke joints all day, can’t even smell it at the door. Gonna grab the refillable one once this one wears out.
