i saw a good post on this, you can take a bucket with a lid, drill holes around the under rim about the size of your pinky, all the way around, put the jel in the bucket, mix with some water till it breaks down to a liquid, and mount a fan in the lid of the bucked pulling air from the bucket

i have personaly tried this and it works GREAT

I have the ona gel and a gallon of the liquid. You can mix it with some water and pour it onto perlite which will help it last. I dont like the smell of it though. I bought it before I saw Panheads $3 carbon filter... I always end up wasting money whenever I try to take shortcuts. The ona does work though. on growfaqs theres a article about making a really good ona odor removing machine. it works well, but i cant stand the smell of ona anymore. I stuck it in my bathroom and open it up when nature calls or I have to shit. it helps.

I saw that thread, I was all into doing it, but then I got lazy and said fuck it. you can buy a small decent sized scrubber for 30 bucks but I dont know, gel just seemed more convenient, and I like it, the smell is alittle too strong and is now starting to smell half the house, but thats the price you pay for being cheap :P, or lazy? or both? I dont know which. I like this stuff, it was an easy cheap non problamatic quick fix, that hopfuly will fix well or something to that effect?
now this combined with a carbon scrubber!, but I'mm too cheap, and or lazy, and or high to do it :P... now?
I confused myself :(

yeah, thats the problem I had... The whole house smelled of the stuff, and it was strong. It started smelling like I had just snorted a kilo of weed and air freshener. It masked the weed smell for the most part, but I was left trying to explain the rancid super-powered air freshener stench to people...

Well maybe your problem was your mix.... I use the soilmoist granules .. mix that with about half a cup or cup of ona and then fill with water... it works great....i heard they have two diferent types... linen fresh and some other shit... my linen fresh doesnt bother me cause it just smells like clean laundry... who doesnt enjoy that smell?


here is a pic of it in use as an exhaust as well.



setup of bucket.

yeah, i have the fresh linen one as well... If my linen ever smelled like that, I would hunt down the Maytag guy and cut out his liver.

lol ;-P im glad its workin for you guys though! for sure. the cheaper the better. I just took a taco bell dump and popped open my ONA... So now I know what it would smell like if I shit on my fresh laundry.
