Smell coming from flowhood
    #18889299 - 09/25/13 01:25 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I havent used my new BIY flowhood yet.  But i turned it on just for shits and giggles and noticed a very distinct smell coming from the flowhood... Its very similar to sawdust but smells just a tad different. 

Anyone have any ideas on why this is happening? Will it ruin any work that might requires a flow hood?

Im using a prefilter and the wood was stained and poly coated for easy cleaning if needed.

no worries, assuming you used a true hepa and an appropriate sized blower.  prolly just the stain or wood curing.  smells cant contaminate your culture

Yeah, you're smelling the wood it was made from. Nothing to worry about.

Second that. I just built my flow hood about 2 weeks ago and for the first few hours I ran it there was a faint odor of wood/silicone curing, dissipated quickly and no contamination on my G2G transfers. What size filter is your hepa? I ended up using a 24" x 18" and it has served me well.

Happy growing!
