Indoor smell issue

[GreedyFly]

Think I need a better carbon filter for my indoor tent grow. Have 4” ducting. Any suggestions.
Thanks

They do wear out over time. Did it ever scrub the air enough to not smell?

I'm getting ready to start my next grow next week and I'm starting with a fresh filter and I purchased a gallon of Ona and I'm placing one cup of that in every room of the house. Hopefully this will help, time will tell

May need a new filter. I have a 6” filter and exhaust fan in my small 3’ x 3’ tent, and have zero odor issues...unless I open the tent for an extended period during flower.

Has anyone tried a negative ionizer?

It never did a good job from the start. My initial setup was fan inside the tent blowing exhaust out through ducting into the filter. Tent kit had no papers on the fan/filter hookup. It really didn’t work well, researched and saw that the filter goes inside the tent sucking air through it out through ducting and the the fan. This didn’t seem to eliminate smell either. I’m figuring the filter supplied in the kit wasn’t good at all. I’d spend up to $100 for a solution.

What's wrong with smell I love the smell.
But I imagine it can be an issue in some cases.
Lucky not mine.

Know it sounds stupid, check fan is sucking the right way.... We all make mistakes.
Quality Carbon filters stop smell, cheap ones are usually packed too loose.
If smell is a risk, its worth the extra.

 

[Wulves]

Agree on that.

Do have an understanding wife but I get grief when kids and grandkids visit. Yes I’m a fossil.

Fan is definitely blowing out into garage. What would be considered a quality filter. Saw something on Phresh but don’t really know if it’s worth a bit over $100.

What size is your tent? Is your filter connected to your duct fan? Do the sides of the tent pull in when you turn on your duct fan?

Yeah mountain air and phresh are what I usually see being recommended mate. I use rhino pro. Bit pricey but worth the cash imo.

I have no issues with the smell here in Canada. The neighbors might but since it is legal I do not use a filter. I duct it straight to the outside.

The tent is 32x32”. 63”tall. Filter sits in tent ducted to exhaust fan outside tent. Sides don’t really suck in but the tent sides are somewhat thick, well made and there is a vent maybe 4x8” letting air in.

I picked my 6” filter up from grow lights Canada. It was 250 to 300 for the fan plus filter.

So I imagine you could get just a 4” filter for around $100 and it should do the trick, and fit your existing exhaust.

A new four inch should only be about $150 or so.

I just purchased an eight inch plus stealth fan for just south of $700cdn Anyone care to help hang the damn thing, please.
