Question by albboynyc: greenhouse , carbon filter or ozone generator for odor?
carbon filter or ozone generator installment ON A GREENHOUSE?
hello i am planing on installing a carbon filter on my greenhouse, or getting an ozone generator.
my first options would be an inline exhaust fan for fresh air directly in the grow room and an fan to get the air out , thinking to put an ozone generator to clean the air.
my second option i am thinking about putting an inline and outline , have an inline connected to the carbon filter to remove the odor.
which way is more effective and can you tell me how to do it , if its carbon filter + exhaust+ tube, or just an inline to bring in fresh air and put an ozone generator to clean the odor and than a fan to take the air out of the grow room

I don’t know a thing about greenhouses, but if I had to guess, I’d say ozone. Ozone destroys odors, and at the same time, does a pretty good job at keeping plants all nicely fresh too. It reduces bacteria and insects as a bonus.

if you are running a greenhouse correctly, there should be no odor problem, and the plants make oxygen and help filter and clean the air.
al you will need is a fan to circulate the air.
Here is what you should do. I will also explain why. Mount an in-line fan in the grow area, on the suction side install a carbon filter, on the other side install some flexable duct and exhaust out of the grow area. Try to run the exhaust air to the outdoors. Do not push air into the area, suck it out. Air can come into the area in many ways depending on your situation. Maybe thru an a/c vent. Even without a/c running you can draw air thru it. Change carbon about once a year. If fan needs to be really quiet, invest in a good one instead of the ones available at Home Depot etc. You can move lots of air this way which the plants need. Ozone is very unhealthy at levels sufficient to get rid of smells. Done right, the way described will work perfectly. Be flexible and inventive and give it lots of thought before you start and you will do just fine. Google “carbon filter” for instructions on how to make a good one. My friend did it this way and it worked great. Have fun with your garden.
use the carbon filter as an exit for the exhaust.ozone generators make everything tase funny no matter what your growing,wether to smoke or eat.bring fresh cool air in and exhause throught the carbon filter.
