shit thats a hell of an apartment grow!
as far as any tricks...well, Im growing in an apartment too,
-im growing half as many plants as U tho, that makes a huge difference.
-my strains are strawberry cough, sweet purple, and bubblicious - all low odor strains
-and lastly I cut a hole in the ceiling for my exhaust fan, all of my hot, stale, smelly air is being pushed out thru there and into the attic.
little smell escapes into the apartment bcuz i keep the door closed at all times. and I have 2 plug-in air deodorizers in my grow room and Im looking to get a ionic purifier for the rest of the apartment.
I always keep my apartment clean, to give it that "golf course" feeling when U enter.
I clean the kitchen counters and floor with lemony smelling ammonia and vaccum twice per week bcuz I have a dog that sheds like crazy and the smell of his dander is on everything.
and most air conditioners have carbon filters so running ac will help with the smell also..
thats how I control smell.
keep the cubes 'moist'
