Carbon Filters & Odor Control

The smell of your grow room might seem pleasant but if this smell disseminates into another room or worse goes outside your house things can become pretty odd. This smell can be pungent and you will need to be proactive so that things remain under control.

How to control the smell of your grow room?

Sealing the grow tent is the first thing you should do. You need to make sure that if you are growing in a spare room, the air comes in and goes out only through the ventilation system. At Groindoor.com, you can find a complete ventilation and odor control kit that can be pieced together with the exhaust and intake pipes.

Grow room intake filters have a fan that brings in clean air and filters out harmful particles while the exhaust filters rid the room of dirty and smelly air after filtering it through carbon filters.

Can you get rid of odors using carbon filters?

Exhaust systems are built using exhaust fans and carbon filters. The odors are removed as they pass through the carbon filter. The carbon filters come with activated carbon that eliminate odors by trapping them. Now, the filters, as they wear out, will not eliminate odors as effectively and therefore need to be replaced regularly.

How to clean your carbon filter?

Carbon filters can be cleaned but it is not recommended. Their life is dependent on the usage and after a certain time they need to be replaced. Repairing them can work but would significantly reduce their efficiency.

Does the smell in grow tents escape?

Grow tents allow for much better odor control compared to a grow room given they are properly sealed off. They come with a pre-integrated ventilation system that regulates the air properly inside the tent. It is important to install a carbon filter so that the air does not escape into other areas of the house.

Other methods for other control

You can find other products at Groindoor.com to help beat odors. These systems are some of the most advanced and effective odor control methods out there.

Ozone generators

Ozone generators employ O3 to beat odor. It attaches to the smelly gases and kills them off making the environment inside your grow room or tent healthy and breathable. Ozone generators, unlike what people commonly think, are not harmful for animals or plants. Health facilities and hospitals employ ozone due to its sterilizing ability. However, it is important to remember that overdose of ozone can be harmful so you need to closely monitor that ozone levels remain normal.

Surface and air purifiers

Ideal for greenhouses and warehouses, surface and air purifiers are a great product to get rid of odor. These machines come with filters that help in eliminating orders and getting rid of dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide.

Odor absorbing gels, mists, and sprays

If you have tried all the above stated methods and still fail to get rid of odors then you should opt for gels, mists, and sprays. These products supplement air filters improving their performance. A good way to use them is to put the gel in your ducting so that the product’s smell and the smell inside your garden mixes and the pungent smell is diluted further.
