CARROT Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Hi thanks to every1 on here, your posts have really helped me in my plans for my first grow room. The cupboard i am planning on using has a vent which goes directley outside my only concern before i start building is how much it is going to smell? are my neighbours going to suddenly notice a strange smell? Would i be better having the exhaust straight into my room As this is to be my first grow i have no idea how much this is going to smell so any advice would be much appreciated Thanks in advance CARROT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad (the impala) Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 - a lot depends on what sort of light and cooling you're using, and on your choice of plants.... Reputedly, Northern Lights smell very little, some skunks can whiff for miles! So, I reckon the best exhaust has got to be outside, but it'll need filtering first - if you vent into your room a)you'll fry, b)you'll open the window 'cos its so hot - escaping niffs - back to square one! Hence the popular choice of a hefty fan sucking in through a carbon filter - then to outside. One of the main problems is heat, so you'll want that going outside, taking the filtered niffy air with it! Hope that helps a little - there's no question that niffs do carry, and lots of people know what it is.....be careful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARROT Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 (edited) Thanks for your replies. I thought as its my first attempt i would start with just 3 or 4 plants in case my growroom needs a bit of tweaking. These plants are going to be northern lights so i'm glad to here that these dont give off too much of a smell. My plan is to have an extractor fan on the vent and a mesh floor so that cool air will be drawn up from below the house hopefully this is going to circulate a lot of cool fresh air around my growroom.The light i will be using is a 400w high pressure sodium light. I think i'll have a look at carbon filters as my next step. Edited August 12, 2003 by CARROT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
