Odour control ONA bucket

[micko]

Just wondering if anyone has used or is using an ONA bucket I've been reading a bit about them and they seem to be quite effective and pretty easy as a DIY type project.

have not used O.N.A. as it is a covering agent vs a clean-scrub (elimination) of smells.

and you have to refresh the ONA as it evaporates.

 

"covering" the smell of Cannabis only makes it smell like cannabis and flowers/peppermint/whatever used to cover it up- IMO

Carbon scrubbers eliminate the cannabis smell. (full stop)

 

make a DIY carbon scrubber... works a treat and is set and forget for a few years vs months

hey thanks for the info is there somewhere on here that explains how to make one? My grow room is a walk in wardrobe so I can only vent into my bedroom when the door is open will a carbon scrubber/filter work in this situation.

i know this is an old thread but i was hoping somone may be able to point me where to buy activated carbon sheets from or a roll to build a diy filter

A pet store would sell odour control mechanisms. Activated carbon is sold for aquarium purposes.

You can get carbon pellets or sheets at a pet store ment for fish tanks an alike.

 

use a PVC pipe size is dependant on plant numbers.. 4-5inch works well for a small grow.. And a computer fan fits nicely in the end of it.

 

easy DIY method

- Block one end PVC pipe with mesh.

-. Fill with fish tank carbon..

- Mesh the other end.. But not too firmly..

- Place in computer fans on both ends.. So one is sucking the other is pushing the air through.

 

you don't want too fine of a mesh either.. It is just so carbon pellets dont go everywhere.. A big holed flyscreen works well.

 

simple, easy, cost effective and works well for what it is... If you have many plants or a big grow.. Please do not try this as your only smell depletion.
