I am new to growing and I'm planning on growing just a single plant (since my cab is rather small -- 12" D x 13" W x 35" H). Is a carbon scrubber necessary for keeping the odors down? I'm planning on growing some THC Bomb. I'm just wondering if that one plant will reek or what, because if not, I just plan on placing some air fresheners around it.
Thanks -- I guess I'll play it by ear. I just didn't want to rush out and spend a lot of $$$ or time trying to build one myself.
I meant to ask -- are your plants in the flowering stage yet? I hear that's when the odors really start to sink in.
i have one plant in a larger place than you have (2 ft x 3 ft x 5 ft). i definitely need a carbon scrubber to keep a low profile...otherwise the apartment would totally wreak. it works great. not sure if it applies to your one plant situation, but it's at least a reference.
Thanks Chiefton -- I'm also in an apartment and so smell is a big fear of mine. I guess I should just make the investment rather than risk it.
yeah i think it's definitely a worthwhile investment for one plant. it can mean the difference between getting caught and not, especially if you ever have some friends over to your place who you don't necessarily want to know about your grow. it's just a form on insurance i guess.
yea im in the same situation as fstopcub, would people recomend building your own carbon filter or buying a prefabricated one?
this is what i use, $140 with free shipping: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160229575444 works fantastic for my closet grow. should work well for 6 plants i suspect too.
I was gonna start looking for a carbon scrubber soon This place looks reasonable, glad you posted the link! I LOVE FREE SHIPPING!!
Awesome link -- they even make smaller ones for cab setups and the price is reasonable (especially since it's a filter and a fan rig).
