Do you guys think one of these carbon filter fan/tube setups would work in a room that doesn't have intake/exhaust? I have a furnished closet in my basement which has a door to a bedroom that has a door that opens to the rest of the basement. Yet still my upstairs smells skunky. My gf's cousin came over today and said "ooohh you got any more of that shit?, I said "what shit? That's incense".

I was thinking maybe using the intake outtake on my 400w hydrofarms hood to cool the bulb area while getting rid of scent, not gonna waste my time building a carbon filter tube if it needs to be exhausted out of the room.

*wanted to add the room is about 10x7x7(roughly, I haven't measured).

Okay, i know this post is like almost a year old, but hope it can be answerd by the author or anyone with knowledge...(tried it)
i am about to start a 16-20 plant auto grow and will be growing in a homebox xl, (56' x 56" x 78.75") or 16sf... I have a 409cfm windtunnel 6" fan with a fan controller, insulated ducting & backdraft damper..i will be growing verticle, stadium step-up style in 3gal bags with a 600hps....(will be doing active intake via a 6" booster fan with backdraft damper, (runnin co2) bringing in fresh a/c air from portable a/c) i made the damm mistake of ordering one of those 6" odor-sok filters!!!..(havent used it yet though) (i too like those active air filters...cheaper and more carbon than can filters) also i will be doing that 5gal bucket/fan/ona-gel/soil-moist set-up for supplemental odor fighting!!! HELL MAYBE 3-4 OF THEM!!!! Dnt want no damm smell!!! Live in a condo/townhouse type dwelling.....whatta yall think??
Oh, any sugg. On where to find the cheapst on shipping for the filter.....

figure out how many cfm you need for exhaust to keep your cab cool. Then match your filter to that. If you do it this way you will be able to eliminate all the odor.

For example, i needed something like 700cfm to keep my room cool. So after getting the 747cfm fan, i went out and bought the filter which is rated at 400-800 cfm active air filter.

My room stays at the temps it need to be and there is absolutely no smell at all. I can press my nose up against the filter and not smell a thing. And this is with about 2 lbs in flower.

Vaportek 4000 is something I use it eliminates the odors in my room. There are mixed reviews on this product but I do find it to work well. I had a carbon scruber as well which I do not use presently with the Vaportek installed up and running. Like the ONA Gel it uses oils that mix with the odor and eliminate it. They have about 20 different scents to choose from. This is used in burnout home, hospitals etc.... hope this info is useful just wanted to add my 2 cents :)

Vaportek.com is the site for more information.

I just want to say I love you guys and gals! I am in a different hobby raising poison dart frogs. Here is a pic of the frog room.



We raise fruit flies which (for my wife) produce a smell that is a little off. The flies are used for the food for the frogs because the frogs are so small.



To please the wife and help with the odor I took the time to build a carbon filter.

http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/parts-construction/51721-diy-carbon-air-odor-filter.html

Anyway......my question is what size carbon would you recommence? I plan to get it bulk here because they have awesome quality carbon(I believe is the key ingredient) and they have great prices.

Large or Small?

This may sway your decision. This data is based on the aquarium/water absorption data.

What i want to really know is how effective are these things? Done properly, do they completely eliminate the odor 100% so it is undetectable? Or do you still get a bit of smell coming through during late flowering?

The ONA GEL...does it effect the taste of the plants' flowers at all? Does it JUST attach itself to airborne particles?

I just got a small jar of ona gel last night and today I don't even smell my girls when I walk into the room where my growbox is. I use a carbon filter but it was getting over powered. I just have 2 girls 24 and 14 days old. The older one can stink up the whole house though. I have a small fan blower over the top of the jar and it works perfectly. Don't know about flowering though. The hydro shop owner said he has guys coming in and buying the gallon jugs for their grow rooms and they love it. Plus the small jar is under $20. It is well worth the small cost.
