I have a room thats 11x11, 1 windows, I plan to put an AC unit on this window, the rest has to be blocked, I can't vent outside. The AC can be set so that air from outside comes in. Half of this room is veggin under about 400w CFL, and the other half under 600HPS, ther is a closet I want to use to cure the buds. The smell needs to stay inside the room, the door will be closed at all times; Will the AC unit and some fans be enough ventilation for them? Do I need to put in a CO2 tank? Any ideas on making this a better setup are appreciated, this is my first grow.
if your bringing air from the outside, and not exhausting it then your going to be creating + pressure and the smell will be forced through any cracks in the door. if your going to do this then your probably going to want to get a carbon scrubber so it can scrub the air before it gets pushed past the door.
The AC has a small vent that you can open, probably no more than 2inchesX1, if I seal the door with duct tape or something, will the pressure go out the vent? The grow room is on a second floor, is it possible that the smell will stay upstairs? as long as downstairs does not stink everything is ok. I am growing skunk kush, does anyone know how strong the smell will be?
if its anything acual skunky its going to stink up the whole house possibly the neibors yard without a carbon filter on an exuast tube.
Its definetly skunk got them from sensi seeds; Its only 6 plants, does it really get that bad?. Is there anything else that I can use besides activated carbon to get rid of the smell? If the filter is in the same section that my other plants are vegin, will this hurt them in any way?
Carbon filters? No they won't harm your plants in any way. There's a couple of good vids on YouTube for constructing your own growroom and blocking windows etc. look for the 'I grow chronic' series, they're entertaining and above all packed with useful info. Jorge Cervantes vids on there too.
