I think it both but mostly the fan. Most of the heat comes from the lights right? so if I were to get a vented hood for HPS would that work instead of having a loud can fan?

Just joined today... getting back into growing a few plants for my own comsumption 
I used a Sharp Air Purifier which has some kind of plasma cluster Ion technology thingy! Controled the odour of 4 large indoor plants, grown in a one bedroom unit. I checked the website but they have discontinued this product.... I'd suggest trying to find something similar on ebay

Did you check the first page of this thread? There is all kinds of DIY stuff there.
Hi all, great thread! I was just wondering -- I saw a diy carbon filter somewhere on RIU that I think was made from an air filter for a car. I've been searching to find it again, and I'm not having any luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Carbon filters are advantageous and used because carbon is a very complex element that is easily bondable to other materials due to its valence electron middle ground (it has 4). When pollutants or other elements enter through air flow, thse molecules attach themselved to the available carbon molecules and thus are not expelled from the filter. A carbon filter can be made very easily by simply getting a filter that has carbon molecules and by making air pass through it. Carbon is perhaps the most complex element in nature and its versatility is presented through carbon filters.

They will help remove household odors but you will be screwed if that is the only odor control you have for you buds.

maybe for a single plant. But for alot of grows that is like a band-aid on a bullet wound.

I didnt read all the pages, but did a search of the thread and didnt find any answers to this question, so hope it hasnt been asked a dozen times before.
Im planning on growing in my closet, probably putting a grow tent in my closet as I dont want to cut through my walls to exhaust. I plan to grow 2 plants at a time. Will the Ona stuff be good enough to completely kill the smell? I cant seem to find anything describing how good it works, definitely in my situation.
Anyone who has used Ona or know of someone who has, any info would be greatly appreciated!

Ona works great for taking care of residual odours left behind by a carbon scrubber or the like. As a stand alone odour controll, I wouldn't count on it cutting the mustard.
I use Ona in conjunction with my shitty odorsok and it seems to help.
