Alright so right now ive got just one green crack about 3.5 weeks into flower and that girls got some bad BO lol. in the future im going to be flowering probably 3 small/medium plants at a time and would like to control the smell a little more but the only problem is i cant really use a carbon filter setup in my space. so i need to do something else.

ive looked at the ona gel, heard mixed things about it with most seeming to like it so i was considering picking up a quart of it and trying my luck but im not really sure which to go with because theres so many different types, ona gel, ona block, ona gel pro, ona liquid, ona gel fresh linen, you guys probably already know this. are there really any other options i should try? i know the way to go is carbon filter but tbh i want to wait on that until i get my 600w setup probably in the spring and buy everything together so i know everything will fit nice. ive been trying to use sprays and expensive yankee candles but its definitely not enough firepower and the gf's starting to get sketched out so i need to make a move. would you guys suggest just getting maybe a quart or 2 of the ona gel and if so, which do you guys think would be the best for my application, a small cfl grow? not sure how long the stuff lasts so info on that would be great too ive heard the qt lasts around a month or so. thanks in advance for any help you guys have been a great resource so far and its greatly appreciated!

I'm a super newb myself but from what I've read only wAy your gonna control the smell is with a scrubber. I know you said you can't in your space but maybe through up what your space is like and peeps can find a way to rig it up.

If cost is a factor... My case cut the cost by make I diy scrubber.. Coffee can filled with activated carbon from the pet store. Ducting is super cheAp. The fan is whAt sucks. I didn't put it in my cost equation but I'm gonna have to find a way.

Last don't get a cheap booster fan it won't push through the filter
Gluck

thanks bud i think i actually have one of those sitting around in storage "somewhere" lol. ill try it out but i feel like im going to need at least something in addition to that. i want to try the ona gel but ive heard soooooo many differing opinions on it im kind of skeptical and i also dont really know which type would be best for my application. im doing some remodeling this winter though so this ghetto bullcraps only gotta last me through march or so and then im probably going to go with some sort of 600w setup with a carbon filter.

Ionizers in the grow room aren't a good idea. They throw out ozone and it suffocates plants. Ona works good I use the fresh linen. after it dries up just refill it with the refill juice. I also use an airwick gadget It has a timer with a few settings.
Ionizers can be set outside the grow room and they have some inline ones that can hook up to your ducting.
