Whether you’re in prohibition land, or just trying to be a considerate neighbor, you don’t want your plants stinking up the place. Here’s how to keep the stink down, without sacrificing quality.
I'm in my 70s and I live alone in a small town and no one ever comes to visit and I love the aroma throughout the house during flower besides that I live in Minnesota and we just went legal in August
Let me know if you ever want a visitor, in about 2 months I should be able to share from my first legal grow in the same state
when you can get away with it the smell is nice.
My kids where thinking it was me stinking up the neighborhood. But it was neighbor across street. Around 1000 cfm for a 10'x10' to get one air change a minute. Thanks again dudes.
Ha Ha, too bad youre not in Oregon
My adult daughter said the same thing. I kept smelling it, and it was NOT the smell of mine lol. Someone got some SFV OG kush in flower somewhere nearby lol. It's PUNGENT too lol. Mine is innocent with the carbon filter. (As long as the doors are zipped shut. If it's open and I am in there puttering around it smells still.
I really need to get one! I come from a state where we can carry pistols at our hips just not joints in our lips but thankfully my neighbors are relatives and they too look forward to my harvesting. Not my landlord though 😅 when he needs to come around, I start frying some bacon and throw a bag of popcorn in the microwave 😂
Carbon filters work good but what I do is I took a cardboard box and traced my filter on the side of it, cut the hole out and put the filter inside. I took a bunch of dryer sheets and filled the box with them so when the filter exhausts (passive filtration) it blows thru the sheets creating a fresher scent. Works pretty good.
I'm fortunate and live in the woods with no neighbors for close to 1/2 mile. I grow in a shed and it reeks close to harvest. I couldn't imagine trying to get rid of the smell in a neighborhood or something.
I agree. Paranoid derps started breeding cannabis with zero taste or smell so they can make concentrates with the plants. They don't care about taste or smell because they're busy making the cannabis version of crack cocaine. Just a bunch of losers with no reverence for the wonderful flavors that can be experienced with excellent strains.
A big thing for odor control is keeping you temps down, and that includes having your lights a proper distance from the flowers. The hotter it is the more volatile the terps become and off gas faster. Happy growing everyone!
Great tip!
yes it dosent smell at all when i harvest at 60 degrees XD
@@Indicafatbud I mean I'd sure hope it smells when you're harvesting. Otherwise you probably did something wrong.
Very nice. I run carbon filters on all exhaust systems and I run a 12in scrubber constantly. Just to mitigate smell for the neighbors. They DO WORK!
Great point!
As a hvac guy i vent mine thru the same passage as my water heater, no filter and smell gets sent 3 stories up to my roof level
Fucking brilliant
Carbon filters are great. You can also run one as a general odor filter in the room. A must for any growing in my opinion. I use ozone to clean. I never put ozone on a plant. Ozone is nice since it can get into places that are hard to clean with other methods. While ozone kills smells it is not what it is best used for. Both have places and do different things. Good video Scotty.
Thank you!
You know Scotty! IDGAF about the smell. I grow outside and my neighbors know better than to come on my property. I love the smells, they make me happy.
You have to do what makes you happy.😂
I just absolutely love watching your video's . So much great information can't thank you enough enough ❤❤❤
Your to Kind!
Scotty keeping it real shout out from a fellow 50 year old Floridian 👍
Hell Yeah!
As always great content. Thanks High C and Scotty
Thanks for watching!
In my 2 decades of indoor hobbying 🌱 I have rarely ever used a carbon filter, even in late flowering etc 😱 I have lituarly done simple things like cooking garlic every day when aromas rise , & put down shake & vac carpet freshener, glade plug in near main entrances, cover air vents with scented laundry sheets ,odour gels but I found them expensive for the overall effects, keeping certain opposite windows ( especially on windy days)nearby open to ensure constant air flow so aromas don't build up..
At any stage of growth when the lights go out get ready then for a major aroma rise ,then it soon calms down..
I have also used a multitude of ozone machines , the small plug in the wall ones work a real treat in strategic locations But generally break after about half a year.. That's if they are still around these days? 🤔
Then there's the bigger freestanding plug in ones & they again nuke all smells & ones these days are more reliable and I have nuked plants close up with them and the leaves end up looking pretty much like a spider mite infection does, Tons of tiny small yellow spots & yes the plants smells absolutely diminished, but I didn't care tbh 🤔🤣 But that was only because I was running the machine directly in the growing space lol... If kept outside the growing space then I find Zero effects ( as long as it's not directly near a intake fan) I blast mine 20mins in the morning and 20 mins at lights off once ours kick in heavily, then I just leave it be for a bit before going where I've used it.
Carbon filters are obviously easier & probably much safer option lol I'm Not trying to encourage anyone to not use one, I would Always recommend someone to use one if odours an issue, but I don't practice what I preach 🤣 🌱 Happy growing everyone 🌱 & Happy New Year 🌍🌱😎
If you have a ZERO defect criteria for skunk smell then just one carbon filter won't be enough. I run 3 plants in a 2 X 4. I have one 6"running inside the tent that pulls the air through the filter and exhausts the air back into the tent. I also have one hooked up to my exhaust tube that pulls the air out of tent and pushes it through the second filter. Then I have a third filter in the room to catch what the other 2 missed and for when the tent is open. All 3 filters are 6" AC Infinity. Don't even think about using 4" filters. This is the bare minimum for me to keep SWMBO happy.
I bet you landlord thinks you really like bacon!
Ac filters are kinda shit
4:54 - you can still utilise the pre filter on the inside of the filter if pushing air through it, not pulling
I live in an apartment. My carbon filter does the job, its those last few weeks of flower and harvest day when it really smells in the room. 2x4 tent closet grow
Get a second filter and fan I did and it helped tremendously
Is it a necessity to exhaust the air out of the room from the carbon filter and the inline? I'm considering setting up a grow but in Australia we have to be careful and since I live in a rented aptment so I can't just go cutting holes in my walls or windows to vent outside. Is it okay just to have the filtered air flow into the lung room and back into the tent?
@@DipherOneCICrew yes i did not exhaust outside it was ok
@@DipherOneCICrew Fine to do that but since you need to be careful you may need more than one carbon filter to do the job. Don't get a 4" filter. Get 6" or larger. A lot depends on which strains you grow. Some are more stinky. Some less. I would get AC Infinity refillable filter cannisters.
I keep my closet door open and vent into the room from through a inline carbon filter from the start of fall to end of spring with a window cracked like 1/2 to1/4 inch or so just to let cool air in during the winter (Canadian) when its easy to keep cool. Stays around 78-80f. Before the closet I had the tent near a sliding window and fabricated a 6" dryer vent into some plywood, painted it white to vent it out like a portable air conditioner. I never had to cut any holes in walls, if your screens can pop out you might be able to make it work and not look suspicious.
I've also never vented directly into the tent like a sealed system. Sorry that I can't help you there but from experience I know that humidity and temperature will have to be looked after in a sealed system. @@DipherOneCICrew
AC infinity has a refillable one now.
I put out a big sign: "US Skunk Rehabilitation Society."
The answer is classical music😂 early in the morning for the plant Scotty❤ it mimics birds chirping, and that opens is the stomata❤ I just heard that and figured I would let you know first for your shows
Love it!!
That's really old and it's been proven to be bullshit
I avoid stinky strains for up to 12 plant grows . Vent the tents into the basement and let them circulate through the house . What little smell left is fine .
Love these clips! Scotty’s grow corner!
Thanks for watching, We'll keep making them!
Carbon filters are great, negative pressure is key though. ;)
I run mine in a partially open tent and it still works.
Let it stink. It's legal now. And neighbors are cool. I'm lucky.
Be like me. Have grow tent and carbon filter set up properly. You can’t hardly smell it even in the same room and definitely not outside of it. 4 in veg and 8 in flower.
Do you dry in your flower tent?
@@nk-dw2hm yes. It just makes it easiest to control the humidity and temp so it drys properly and keeps smell away
@@Convict2Gardener that's what I'm considering, I'm debating if my clone/veg tent will be enough for drying or if I might need a separate one for it. I'm growing peppers and other stuff along with my herb so it restricts me a bit
Thanks for sharing
AC Infinity offers a refillable carbon filter lowering the cost on replacing the canister all the time.
I can't wait to hear feedback for the community on them.
They are very small and don't work that great.
I love the stink of my grow not an issue for me at all.
I threw out my filters in 2017 ... Canada .... Been stinking up my block since then no issues ....right Down town lethbridge alberta
I consume lots of white castle while in flower to mask the dank smell
😂
Taco Bell works wonders too
😂
LIKED FOR JASONS RANT!!!!
Better to oversize than to undersize, make sure ya capture all those wonderful smells🤘🪴💚
Just like with you Grow Light.
Would an air purifier work with the carbon filter?
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Carbo filters can be cleaned and reactivated. It's fairly easy to do, but it does require some equipment. For a small personal grower it probably isn't very practical. For larger growers it might be worth looking into.
AC Infinity has refillable carbon filters.
Yes, I use them. They're great@@gamblr5422
i got max 1 plant at a time in a 2x2 and the smell does not leave my room. I can imagine what more plants would do 0_0
Best way I have found is to plant other types of plants next to them like lavender or alot of smelly plants
A different type of cover crop 😂
i was given a highend air ionizer by a friend and it cut the smell down atleast 75%
Great info
Thanks for watching!
I don't bother hiding the smell. Small grow and I smoke in my grow room. I'm in the U.K too. All our government care about is we don't make money from it. It would be difficult to obtain a warrant on someone's home, based on smell alone.
There would need to be a flow of visitors also.
5:50 Scotty be like 🐸
Underpressure and carbon Filters. There is nothing else u can do. Suck air into growroom so there is no overpressure that could escape the room. And Filter the air through carbon Filters or pump it out the chimney
Cool video bro👍
Glad you liked it
I have a 8” carbon filter.. going on a half a yr.. ZERO SMELL!!!!! 100% worth it! And I don’t vent it outside, just cleaning the air in the room
Good stuff!
The can-lite brand is pricey but supposed to be on a completely different level than the cheaper brands
They are. They 4 times the size of the cheap ones and they actually work
Some weed doesn't smell much at all. Other strains stink to high heaven...
Ask around for non-stinky strains. Growing some God's Gift right now. In flower and doesn't smell unless you touch it.
OG Kush doesn't smell much, either. My wife's favorite.
You could use discreet strains. I'm finding the discreet strains are lacking in terps though. I'm looking at Humboldt's blueberry muffin. People will think you're baking muffins 😂
absolutely. There are strains that scream skunk weed and some that make you wonder why that person is baking fruit all the time. If you're in enemy territory, go with the fruit and sweet terps.
I would rather grow what I want and cover up the smell. 😂
So sit in my tent and trim with carbon filter running 😂
I keep my filter outside my tent on the floor with all filtering surfaces unobstructed, with air from the tent ducted to it. Any downsides like this?
Nope, you can pull air through or blow a through the carbon filter. It will work both ways.
The filter is taking the smell ect out of the room/tent but how is fresh air getting in ?
Through a inline fan obviously 😂
@@Satsumanottz09 I don't know never tried before . I thought the filter might pump the stale air out but also be able to pump fresh air in on a cycle ?
you set up an air intake vent from the lower part of the tent.
What about Negative Ion generators?
They can change the taste and smell of the bud I have heard.
@@ScottyReal420 Thank you, This is a little off topic but I am an old time grower from back in the day... I got my seeds from SSSC and The Seed Bank. It is finely legal in my state of Maryland to grow and I and going to try your Dots with Recharge on my next run of Mcpurple S1 Fem seeds from Forum Genetics. I am wanting to try it with Buffered Coco 70/30 Perlite. Where would be the best place to get the best Buffered Coco from and tips on working with Coco. Lol I am 64 and like the idea of the ease of not messing with all of the different fert's. I use to mix my own organic fert's from a place called Fullmoon. I had great results but it was a bit of work.
Scotty hey brotha. I know this has nothing to do with smells but have a plant with mosaic virus symptoms but not spreading plant to plant regardless of touching infected then non infected. Are their mutations that resemble this virus but don't spread and also don't affect growth
Try looking up Variegated Cannabis.
@@ScottyReal420 i have done this Scotty but the thing I learned that's diff with varig.and mosaic is the mutation of shape of leafs. The varig. Does change the colors and molt the leaves though yes
The Turpines are exploding after 80°😂
I let skunks live under my shed. I blame them.
Always blame the skunks!
💚💚💚
No smell no sell
Ona
I can tell you 100% facts that if you use two carbon filters and two fans that you will have zero smell
twice the odor protection
Inline? How are they set up?
💥💚
its not smart, its nobrainer.
