Managing odors in your grow room under LEDs

​​Introduction

The cultivation of fragrant plants may not necessarily be a problem during growth but from the flowering period, the multiple flowers of your plants will diffuse a sweet smell. Even if you find it pleasant, it may not be the case for your neighbors or your roommates.

Importance of culture rooms



The culture box are very important for controlling your environment. You will be able to control the temperature, the humidity but also the odors.

Cultivation under LED horticultural lamps


When growing under LED horticultural lamps, the odor will be slightly less present than under sodium HPS lighting.

The main solution: The carbon filter

However, a carbon filter is still necessary to leave odors inside your grow room. It fits inside your box and connects to the suction side of the extractor.

The carbon filter is made up of “activated carbon” which absorbs pollutants and odors. The air that will now come out of your extractor will be completely eliminated from the odors of your plants.

However, this is not the perfect solution for a serene indoor cultivator. Because when your grow room is closed you will have no problem, but it is impossible to keep the box closed during the whole culture. As soon as you go to your plants, by opening the growing chamber, you will allow the odors to escape during this moment.

Camouflage odors?

​​This is why there are "odor camouflagers". These products will produce an odor that most of the time resembles lemon, and will act as a camouflage so that you can not smell anything else. If someone comes home, only the smell of this lime can be recognized. Discover the ONA GEL odor camouflagers.

There are also ionizers. These electrical devices will destroy odors. Similar to odor camouflagers, these products should be used in addition to a carbon filter but not as a replacement.

Check the capacity of the carbon filter in m3h, so that it matches your extractor. It is possible to use a less powerful but never more powerful extractor, which would not filter all the odors from your plants.
