How Smart Cannabis Growers Keep Plant Odor Under Control

[@terryskorczewski4727]

I'm in my 70s and I live alone in a small town and no one ever comes to visit and I love the aroma throughout the house during flower besides that I live in Minnesota and we just went legal in August

[@nk-dw2hm]

Let me know if you ever want a visitor, in about 2 months I should be able to share from my first legal grow in the same state

[@ScottyReal420]

when you can get away with it the smell is nice.

[@419..GAZZCITY]

Hell yeaaa ...my favorite air freshener 😂😂 ..Cana..breeze

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

My kids where thinking it was me stinking up the neighborhood. But it was neighbor across street. Around 1000 cfm for a 10'x10' to get one air change a minute. Thanks again dudes.

[@tomhandegard6880]

Ha Ha, too bad youre not in Oregon

[@Coopdog1911]

My adult daughter said the same thing. I kept smelling it, and it was NOT the smell of mine lol. Someone got some SFV OG kush in flower somewhere nearby lol. It's PUNGENT too lol. Mine is innocent with the carbon filter. (As long as the doors are zipped shut. If it's open and I am in there puttering around it smells still.

[@briangonzalez1541]

I really need to get one! I come from a state where we can carry pistols at our hips just not joints in our lips but thankfully my neighbors are relatives and they too look forward to my harvesting. Not my landlord though 😅 when he needs to come around, I start frying some bacon and throw a bag of popcorn in the microwave 😂

[@nymetsfan912]

Carbon filters work good but what I do is I took a cardboard box and traced my filter on the side of it, cut the hole out and put the filter inside. I took a bunch of dryer sheets and filled the box with them so when the filter exhausts (passive filtration) it blows thru the sheets creating a fresher scent. Works pretty good.

[@GrowesFirstChoice]

Very nice. I run carbon filters on all exhaust systems and I run a 12in scrubber constantly. Just to mitigate smell for the neighbors. They DO WORK!

[@ScottyReal420]

Great point!

[@glzach100]

Scotty keeping it real shout out from a fellow 50 year old Floridian 👍

[@ScottyReal420]

Hell Yeah!

[@Yeahright666-]

4:54 - you can still utilise the pre filter on the inside of the filter if pushing air through it, not pulling

[@PoppaLongroach]

I'm fortunate and live in the woods with no neighbors for close to 1/2 mile. I grow in a shed and it reeks close to harvest. I couldn't imagine trying to get rid of the smell in a neighborhood or something.

[@Energia-977]

I agree. Paranoid derps started breeding cannabis with zero taste or smell so they can make concentrates with the plants. They don't care about taste or smell because they're busy making the cannabis version of crack cocaine. Just a bunch of losers with no reverence for the wonderful flavors that can be experienced with excellent strains.

[@jppagetoo]

Carbon filters are great. You can also run one as a general odor filter in the room. A must for any growing in my opinion. I use ozone to clean. I never put ozone on a plant. Ozone is nice since it can get into places that are hard to clean with other methods. While ozone kills smells it is not what it is best used for. Both have places and do different things. Good video Scotty.

Would an air purifier work with the carbon filter?

[@StephenFrank9090]

A big thing for odor control is keeping you temps down, and that includes having your lights a proper distance from the flowers. The hotter it is the more volatile the terps become and off gas faster. Happy growing everyone!

[@ScottyReal420]

Great tip!

[@Indicafatbud]

yes it dosent smell at all when i harvest at 60 degrees XD

[@StephenFrank9090]

@@Indicafatbud I mean I'd sure hope it smells when you're harvesting. Otherwise you probably did something wrong.

[@therollingstoned7308]

If you want to put the carbon filter outside of your tent you can fold the prefilter and place it inside around the inner walls of the filter to catch the dust and save the filter!!

[@StaypuftTheMarshmallowMan]

I live in an apartment. My carbon filter does the job, its those last few weeks of flower and harvest day when it really smells in the room. 2x4 tent closet grow

[@Catch_u_reloadn]

Get a second filter and fan I did and it helped tremendously

[@DipherOneCICrew]

Is it a necessity to exhaust the air out of the room from the carbon filter and the inline? I'm considering setting up a grow but in Australia we have to be careful and since I live in a rented aptment so I can't just go cutting holes in my walls or windows to vent outside. Is it okay just to have the filtered air flow into the lung room and back into the tent?

[@Catch_u_reloadn]

@@DipherOneCICrew yes i did not exhaust outside it was ok

[@gamblr5422]

@@DipherOneCICrew Fine to do that but since you need to be careful you may need more than one carbon filter to do the job. Don't get a 4" filter. Get 6" or larger. A lot depends on which strains you grow. Some are more stinky. Some less. I would get AC Infinity refillable filter cannisters.

[@StaypuftTheMarshmallowMan]

I keep my closet door open and vent into the room from through a inline carbon filter from the start of fall to end of spring with a window cracked like 1/2 to1/4 inch or so just to let cool air in during the winter (Canadian) when its easy to keep cool. Stays around 78-80f. Before the closet I had the tent near a sliding window and fabricated a 6" dryer vent into some plywood, painted it white to vent it out like a portable air conditioner. I never had to cut any holes in walls, if your screens can pop out you might be able to make it work and not look suspicious. I've also never vented directly into the tent like a sealed system. Sorry that I can't help you there but from experience I know that humidity and temperature will have to be looked after in a sealed system. @@DipherOneCICrew

[@pcslayer3568]

When trying to keep the smell from the neighbors in a outdoor greenhouse (30’ x 20’) maybe 15 plants, how many carbon filter exhausts are required and would 1 or more carbon scrubbers be beneficial? Thanks!

AC infinity has a refillable one now.

[@wardaldo69]

In my 2 decades of indoor hobbying 🌱 I have rarely ever used a carbon filter, even in late flowering etc 😱 I have lituarly done simple things like cooking garlic every day when aromas rise , & put down shake & vac carpet freshener, glade plug in near main entrances, cover air vents with scented laundry sheets ,odour gels but I found them expensive for the overall effects, keeping certain opposite windows ( especially on windy days)nearby open to ensure constant air flow so aromas don't build up.. At any stage of growth when the lights go out get ready then for a major aroma rise ,then it soon calms down.. I have also used a multitude of ozone machines , the small plug in the wall ones work a real treat in strategic locations But generally break after about half a year.. That's if they are still around these days? 🤔 Then there's the bigger freestanding plug in ones & they again nuke all smells & ones these days are more reliable and I have nuked plants close up with them and the leaves end up looking pretty much like a spider mite infection does, Tons of tiny small yellow spots & yes the plants smells absolutely diminished, but I didn't care tbh 🤔🤣 But that was only because I was running the machine directly in the growing space lol... If kept outside the growing space then I find Zero effects ( as long as it's not directly near a intake fan) I blast mine 20mins in the morning and 20 mins at lights off once ours kick in heavily, then I just leave it be for a bit before going where I've used it. Carbon filters are obviously easier & probably much safer option lol I'm Not trying to encourage anyone to not use one, I would Always recommend someone to use one if odours an issue, but I don't practice what I preach 🤣 🌱 Happy growing everyone 🌱 & Happy New Year 🌍🌱😎

[@gwoo4207]

AC Infinity offers a refillable carbon filter lowering the cost on replacing the canister all the time.

[@ScottyReal420]

I can't wait to hear feedback for the community on them.

[@timothykappel198]

They are very small and don't work that great.

[@randall4411]

I avoid stinky strains for up to 12 plant grows . Vent the tents into the basement and let them circulate through the house . What little smell left is fine .

[@nk-dw2hm]

I keep my filter outside my tent on the floor with all filtering surfaces unobstructed, with air from the tent ducted to it. Any downsides like this?

[@ScottyReal420]

Nope, you can pull air through or blow a through the carbon filter. It will work both ways.

[@TheTubeshooter]

Carbon filters are great, negative pressure is key though. ;)

[@markrigg6623]

I run mine in a partially open tent and it still works.

[@seansappok1141]

Man i remember back in the, man early 2000s maybe, when carbon filters first started coming out but mainly for like home filters and vacuums and we figured out the smell part so we started getting those but they came flat so we'd cut them and just put them right in the ducting for exhaust, wasn't perfect but helped so much, these new guys are spoiled 😆, i usually try to keep the filter outside the tent/room, just so i don't have as much humidity right on it, but whatever works, even inside the tent one will last a few grows if you change the pre filter

[@BillNobcheese]

The filter is taking the smell ect out of the room/tent but how is fresh air getting in ?

[@Satsumanottz09]

Through a inline fan obviously 😂

[@BillNobcheese]

@@Satsumanottz09 I don't know never tried before . I thought the filter might pump the stale air out but also be able to pump fresh air in on a cycle ?

[@ScottyReal420]

you set up an air intake vent from the lower part of the tent.

Be like me. Have grow tent and carbon filter set up properly. You can’t hardly smell it even in the same room and definitely not outside of it. 4 in veg and 8 in flower.

[@nk-dw2hm]

Do you dry in your flower tent?

@@nk-dw2hm yes. It just makes it easiest to control the humidity and temp so it drys properly and keeps smell away

[@gamblr5422]

If you have a ZERO defect criteria for skunk smell then just one carbon filter won't be enough. I run 3 plants in a 2 X 4. I have one 6"running inside the tent that pulls the air through the filter and exhausts the air back into the tent. I also have one hooked up to my exhaust tube that pulls the air out of tent and pushes it through the second filter. Then I have a third filter in the room to catch what the other 2 missed and for when the tent is open. All 3 filters are 6" AC Infinity. Don't even think about using 4" filters. This is the bare minimum for me to keep SWMBO happy.

[@ScottyReal420]

I bet you landlord thinks you really like bacon!

[@timothykappel198]

Ac filters are kinda shit

[@AceBase5]

Even if I’m just growing 1 or 2 plants in a 2x2?

[@gamblr5422]

@@AceBase5 If you have a ZERO defect criteria like me then I would count on Two 6" filters for that setup. I don't think you would have room in the tent so exhaust out the top with a vent tube and then through one 6" filter. Then a second 6 in filter nearby to scrub the room air. Have that one sucking air through the filter first and exhausting out the fan back into the room. Some plants are stinkier than others. It's pretty minimal til you get into flower a few weeks. That's bare minimum, IMO, if you have a zero defect criteria. BTW: If I was in a 2 X 2 I think I would just grow 1 plant. Not enough room for 2 in my opinion. My 4 X 2 is very crowded right now in late veg with 3 plants. Tight squeeze.

[@AceBase5]

@ so you recommend one pulling out of the tent and one in the room I grow in? I’m growing auto flowers so I thought I could get away with 2 lol

[@PopeDPG]

Scotty hey brotha. I know this has nothing to do with smells but have a plant with mosaic virus symptoms but not spreading plant to plant regardless of touching infected then non infected. Are their mutations that resemble this virus but don't spread and also don't affect growth

Try looking up Variegated Cannabis.

Carbo filters can be cleaned and reactivated. It's fairly easy to do, but it does require some equipment. For a small personal grower it probably isn't very practical. For larger growers it might be worth looking into.

I don't bother hiding the smell. Small grow and I smoke in my grow room. I'm in the U.K too. All our government care about is we don't make money from it. It would be difficult to obtain a warrant on someone's home, based on smell alone. There would need to be a flow of visitors also.
