Negative Ion Generators

Marijuana Horticulture

by Jorge Cervantes

Negative ion generators are small and somewhat efficient to control odors, smoke, airborne pollen, mold, dust, and static electricity. They pump negative ions into the atmosphere. The negative ions are attracted to positive ions containing odors and other airborne pollutants. The negative ions attach to positive ions, and the odor becomes neutralized.

The particles fall to the floor and create a fine covering of dust on the ground, walls, and objects in the room. These devices work fairly well for small grow rooms with minimal odor problems. The generator uses very little electricity and plugs into a regular 115-vlt current. Visually check the filter every few days, and make sure to keep it clean.
