Is there any way possible to stop the dank smell during flowering without getting too technical. I would like to hear some techniques people are using. Currently i have got 1 plant growing in my wardrobe soon to flower and im worrying it might stink the whole house out

:sad:

Personally I cut out a hole the size of a square fan we had. I then put the fan half way out & I used little sheet metal screws & put one of those charcoal filters from the stove on it. They are cheap & can be replaced every couple weeks. I just put 2 of them together with more charcoal between (sandwich style) & that seems to work. It's a little ghetto compared to some of the other set ups I've seen on here but it works for me.

Search for this on here & you will find a ton of cheap & easy designs.

While people don't like the smell during flowering, if you don't get the smell, your plants are probably going to be shit. The key is to constantly be venting so the odor doesn't have time to build up.

i have your answer. get the febreeze true air filter. 20 bucks at the bed and bath store, has a range of 6-8 feet so it's perfect for a closet or tent (please don't bother with a lage scale grow, this filter will not work for that). it's an activated carbon filter and produces no smells and it makes almost no noise. i have one in my closet right now with 3 plants in full bloom under a 400w hps and the smell is 90% gone. if i threw some ona in there i'm sure there would be no smell at all. this is what you need.

This is probably overkill for your 1 plan but:

http://www.amazon.com/2600-Carbon-Filter-Duct-Flange/dp/B002OJRC42/ref=pd_sbs_ol_2

this is the type of thing you need. Either way you need to make sure the filter you get has activated carbon in it or it wont work for what you want it to.

What you might be able to do is use a fish tank filter replacement. Fluval makes them and they are like a mesh that is impregnated with carbon. You could put that in the path of your vent and it would take out the smell from 1 plant. http://www.petsolutions.com/storefront/product-view.ep?pID=Fluval3PlusInternalFilterReplacementMedia the carbon ones. they are kind of skinny but you can staple them together to make a bigger pannel. That is enough for 1 plant. If you go bigger you are going to need something like I showed you in the other link.

Watever type u choose it has to have activated carbon in it, the odours that are past through the carbon via exhaust stick to it leaving only fresh clean air coming out. Theres a few cheap and easy carbon filters on here so check them out, the easist prob being the pod filter just filled with carbon and strapped onto the exhaust.

But i couldnt imagine one plant stinkin to much with adequite ventilation, good luck anyways peace

Dude.... Some people like to grow organicly and wont use anything thats not organic but some poeple dont think its a big deal but I dont think anyone wants to DOUSE there plants in fabreeze. Leaves absorbs what ever liquid you put on the leaves. I cant imagine fabreeze being very tasty or healthy for that matter. Not trying to bash just dont sound like a good idea..

This was a snark, no? I can't imagine someone being stupid enough to try it, but seeing the horrible results some people have been getting, some poor person might try it and ruin their entire crop.

It all comes down to the fact that really good weed smells during flowering. If it doesn't smell, it probably isn't worth growing. They key is to constantly vent the room. Don't allow the odor to build up.
