Hello all, upgraded from previous grows that were in bedroom closet. Built a 4x4x6 cabinet. Only plan on one or two plants, keeping them small no bigger than 3 to 4 feet with LST, etc... Using multiple CFL's. Heat is not going to be a problem in the box. My question is do I have to pull in fresh outside air or can I pull in "fresh air" from the basement?
My basement is not damp and I have glass block windows throughout. Within the glass block windows there is a small 2inx5in window that opens but only a few inches, very small opening for safety of course. I could open these when the weather warms up for "fresh" air, currently too cold outside.
I also have central air which we use when it gets really warm in July, Aug.
In previous closet grows, I would just open the door and use a box fan for ventilation into the closet, then close door at lights out. Smell was not an issue then, we were out in the middle of nowhere. Now I am in the burbs with houses spaced at 60 feet.
This time around I would like to contain smell to within the cab. I plan to use DIY carbon filter with 4inch can fan for outflow, with ducting to my dryer vent. If I cut a passive air intake into cab, will smell leak out through this passive air intake even when can-fan is running?
I also have a one-gallon ONA bucket to put outside the cab. My biggest concern is smell control. Thanks for any advice.
