    Default Filter Turned Off Experiment !

    Hello Everyone..

    Just a quick warning growers.
    I've just done a test this evening.I'm growing one
    plant,a Critical Super Silver Haze.

    I went out for about an hour just after tea time and
    switched the fan and filter off to test if there was any
    smells when I got back in.

    As soon as I walked through the back door,There was
    a huge very strong aroma of weed.The tent is in the
    spare room upstairs,but the whole house stunk.I'm
    used to the smell so anyone who isn't would smell it
    a mile off.

    Keep the filters running at all times.This was just one plant !

    ed.

    Have you been in the tent yet?

    I tried this once,due to heat issues,the tent walls were wet through.

    Condensation will build up in a tent with no extraction.

    I didn't get chance to check the tent inside.
    As soon as I got through the back door,and noticed
    the smell,I was up the stairs and switched the filter
    and fan back on,and the light in the tent was off for
    night time.

    Yes,I deserve a good kick up the rear at times !
    Like you say,extraction on 24/7 non stop through out the grow.
    I don't want an appearence on that police intercepters program
    you mentioned in the general stoners thread.
    Hopefully though,she'll be a good smoke judging by the strong smell.

    That's the next couple of items on my shopping list.A spare fan and
    filter just in case this one ever conks out.Also a spare ballast as well.

    I just wonder how long it took to start smelling the house out ?
    I was away for an hour but I rekon it was smelling a lot sooner than an hour.

    No idea, my fan failed overnight

    But I know that, if I take my plants out the grow room when they are in full flower, about 20 minutes & you can smell them across the whole house

    This is the reason I trim up at the room door with extraction on full . Can't understand anyone taking the risk at the last hurdle and trimming up nice and comfy in the armchair after you have spent months hiding the smell

    I wouldn't like to be out of the house all day and the fan breaking down.
    Neighbours and people walking by,their noses twitching as they walked past.
