Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. The room is 9.5x9 feet with roughly a 9x4 canopy. 8"inline fan attached to carbon filter in the room, venting into large "crawl space" through a hole in a door. I've got two jars of ona gel that I keep the lid off of, one upstairs and one down, re shake them daily as well as an automatic air freshener upstairs.
The other day I attached some thick plastic to the frame of the grow room door(door stays closed) via velcro and it seals well because the plastic bubbles out pretty hard.
Which brings me to my next point, I have "positive" air pressure in my grow room which I think is part of the problem, but I don't know why because the exhaust is an 8" inline and the intake is 6"(inline fan). Even when I turn the 6" down to low it doesn't change the positive air pressure. I tried shutting it off yesterday(intake) and temps began to rise fairly quick. So I don't know why I can't get negative air pressure going.
The plants are exceeding my expectations for just my 2nd grow, which is good but maybe that's why I can't control the odor? Sometimes theres nothing you can do?? Theres got to be something. With a canopy of that size and odor, will adding more ona gel or air fresheners do much of anything? The carbon filter is by vivosun and has only been running for 1.5 to 2 months. It's a pretty small house, 950 sq/ft upstairs.
Is there anything anyone can think of that could help??
I only have ever been in trouble with the law once, when I was a teen and didn't have a clue what I was doing and grew a bunch of seedy outdoor weed and was raided upon trimming because of the odor around the neighborhood. The odor outside now is nowhere near as strong as it was then thank god(I had a couple 55 gal barrels full of buds, trimming in my bedroom, no cf or anything. Yes i know). But there is 100% a hint of some skunky mj in the air outside right now.
I so appreciate any help!!!!!
My intake, via hole in the wall. Pulling air from the rest of my basement, pretty big area, atleast 2/3 the sq/ft of the upstairs.
exhaust. The crawl space is a fairly big area too. Maybe double the sq/ft of the room, and I believe wraps around the house and because of half finished drywalling the air recycles back into the main part of the basement.
3 oscillating fans if that has anything to do with it. This room is pretty sealed up, no windows in it.
Canopy.
Grow room door. It's not a perfect fit to the frame. Long story. It's an old house and the door frame has a very odd measurement. No stores around me would make me a door to fit it.
Hope I'm not forgetting any important details, head is spinning a bit!
