Good Morning Mr. Delta :)

The filters "help" make ya safe.. And thats about it.

They only "help" .. But do not take the smell away 100%.

The hydro shops will tell you that they will work...you know why?
Because there a business, and want your money. They'll tell you what you wanna hear. :hump:



I have been to a few of my buddy's growrooms, and they run multiple filters bigger than mine, and the smell still lingers outside no matter what.

Its a battle. :neutral:

Its best that you go all the way with filters than without.

I run ozone and carbon here at my house,
And my Gf still tells me that there is a hint of smell in the front yard around the 5th week into flowering.
I cant smell it, but then again Im used to the scent.

Bugs me out. :shock:

I think the reason It was lingering is because I was growing 21 at the time.

The only strain that does not smell,
That I have come across was the Northern Lights #5.

At my last house I grew a huge plant in my bedroom, had people over,.. No one ever suspected anything.

It was only one plant, but still it would of reeked hard if it was my Glass Slipper.

As soon as my Northern Lights #5 beans arrive, I will be growing out only 4 of them, along with 4 GS and thats it. :mrgreen:

Greed will get you everytime!

Im cooling my jets around here. :peace:

Ive been cuffed and stuffed before...

Aint going down that road again..

no offense bro, but yeah if you grow 21 that piece of paper will not help you. But if you are in compliance the feds are not gonna dick with that small time bullshit. they want the people growing poundage for profit, not rolling 1/4-1lb every few months in compliance with state law. Here in cali the cops did fuck with ppl for awile. But after having to pay the value of the plants they killed and handing the equipment back over, they stopped that nonsense. And there are alot of lawyers licking their chops for a case like that. I am running stealth, but legal. Not because of cops but because of asshole people in general, i have no fear of legal action what so ever.

Oh i realize this..

21 is way over my limit.

I dont do that anymore, Iam following the rules from here on out.

As far as the laws are concerned, they are relaxing over the grow ops in the area.. Its nice.

But, the ripoff's are still out there in full force, thats yet another reason to grow out a low odor strain more than anything.

Thanks for your post.

Sincerely, CG :)

do you think carbon along with that ona gel would give you 100% odor control? my carbon is my exhaust and i have a passive intake so i get the negative pressure.

Great info here for sure. I run a carbon filter on my exhaust with the fan on a controller (read dimmer) to regulate the speed at which the air is pulled through the filter. If the air is being pulled too fast the filter can't work properly and you end up with an excess of smell still. Even with everything set right I could still smell the plants in my house and my op is in the garage so I bought some Ona gel and set it next to the fan which is outside the room. Now all I smell is the gel in the garage and nothing in the house at all. The problem is that people aren't stupid and you can still smell something out of the ordinary since the gel does have it's own odor so I keep my mouth shut and try to keep the garage door closed as much as possible.
I kept the first 2 plants (White Widow and Shiva Sunk) very small and they still stunk like a bitch. Now I have 2 different plants (Green Cush and Hindu Skunk) flowering thatr are much bigger and you only smell the gel until I open the door to the flower room but then BAM! It hits you in the face pretty good and lingers in the garage for a while. I'd grow NL#5 as suggested and as my buddy does but it's a bit of a heavy Indica and I experience too much of a couchlock stone type of high from it.

Just my .02...

dude, why are you risking your future trying to grow a lil plant? are you growing on campus? i would think if you could afford collage, you should be able to afford a bag of good smoke, cuz thats about allyour gonna end up with if you only grow 1 (small) plant. now i aint nothing but a 9 grade drop-out and even i have enough sense to know thats a pretty huge risk your taking for a little (and i mean little) weed. maybe a short course in common sense is in order...just for the record, im damn near 60 yr old and i fucked off my chances of a higer ed. to go to viet nam, so maybe im (was) the dumb ass . just dont blow your future trying to be cool (like growing something that will most likely ruin your chances of a successful carreer,life.....)

sorry closet, you raise a very good point. plus rep for trying to look out for the new guy,id been dead a long time ago if a couple of guys hadnt of schooled me on where i was and what i was in for.fuck the haters...thats why their on the internet.............peace out!
+1, good advice maybe he’ll listen. Don’t take a chance on ruining your future over a bag of weed, find somewhere else to grow it or just buy it. A dorm room is no place to grow safely. S

This thread addresses one of my big concerns, but few seed banks ever tell how much odor their offerings put off. Thanks and reps to you ClosetGrowth for the thoughts and effort to help us out! Thanks! S

thanks for careing brother! ( but up here in canada they dont really care about 1 400 watt light and 3 plants they will just take your things from you and give you a little fine, they are more worried about the bigtime growers who do it to make a killing off of not people like me who do it do get stoned :) the beauty of beautiful canada)

a buddy of mine siad that when he was in prison they would wrap up dryer sheets and blow weed smoke through them and you couldnt even smell it at all...he talks ALOT of bull shit, there fore i am not sure weather or not to buy this. I was wondering if i took an inline fan and packed some duct work full of dryer sheets and attched it to my exhaust to the outside. would this nuetralized the smeel on the outside...or should i what are some other...cheap ways to deal with odor...they dont stink yet to bad. but it is coming. i had hoped to have money for filters, but my employment kinda ended so no more extra money coming in. this could turn into a bad situation...although i do have a back up plan if all else fails, but it is very inconveinent.
 
I thank you. I have this fancy closet thing $5,000.00. I have 10 in 3rd week of flower. I have a fancy carbon filter. The odorless, soundless closet is in a room in a warehouse. I walk into the warehouse.... no smell.... Walk up to the room.... no smell, but I can hear the fans and ballast..... open the door, I can smell the plants. Open the closet.... Sweet Jesus! I just sowed 150 seeds and was contemplating outdoor or building another room..... Think these bitches best go outside! I am going to get an ozone machine for the office on a timer probably set to 5 minutes on 15 minutes off around the clock.

Thanks. Even if your info is not 100% accurate, the part about don't be greedy just hit me! I don't look good in Orange!

Lucky for me My grow is legal! and my land lord knows about it but still says we cant smoke pot in the house. Imma do the exact opposite and grow the stinkiest shit ever and smell up the whole house. The only way the landlord caught us before was from smelling it. He cant do shit now and I dont have to worry about the smell at all! bomb

Thats all good and all in your residence, but did you know that a green card does not mean your 100% safe from prosecution?

Oh yea.. you can search around, you'll see that im correct about this subject..

The feds can still bring ya down if any tells on ya, like the mail man, or the ups guy, or a pissed of girlfriend.

The green cards is state, NOT federal.

You can still go to jail.

TRUE THAT!! Don't get cocky with a state license because it isn't worth shit to a federal official. They will go after you if you get on their radar.

even newbie growers probably smoke weed.. and it usually smells when burned...haha BUT this is a good thread because you are 100% right people dont think about it as much as they should. there are some good carbon filter DIY around and ionizers can be used plug in things air fresheners incence... my first grow i had found like 4 seeds in some skunky dank and even during veg them hoes was stanky! so good lookin closet but i gotta think not ALL newbies are dumb (just some that post on here) do your research people! some strains stink BAD and number one thing EVERYone should do is be safe because the pen is no fun trust me
