Cool items you have gotten. BTW... no one is going to give a rats behind about heat going out your window. Many AC units vent out the window and the air coming from those are just as hot.
Yea I wasn't too worried about the heat going out the window. Worried more about smell but I have a carbon filter and new fan on the way. The seeds are germinated and now planted.

The carbon filter will cover smell durring flowering but you are going to need to figure out something when it comes to harvesting and drying.

I was thinking about that too. i was thinking about using an empty closet I have. I am not really worried if the smell stinks up my room or house. I just dont want the smell getting outside of the house. I usually dont have any company over. Does the smell get really strong? Like I said I have never grown to harvest, only smoke.

An empty closet wont work unless you have a carbon filter and fan in there also. I cant even begin to describe how much smell there is during harvest. Its not only the plants out of the room but constantly being adjutated from handling during trimming. You will not conceal the smell in a town house without having a carbon filter running in the area you are working in.

I have a 8x4 with 1200w running in a room that is 10x6. The only way i can control smell is to harvest in that room completly. I can't pull plants out or my whole house smells, both floors. If you are running all the same strain you could harvest inside of your tent. If you are running a veg area you will need to keep an eye on the smell. My veg stinks up the second floor of my house.

But dont panic you will have plenty of time to build up equipment. But you will need to figure out something for harvest, and that equipment can be put towards a veg area in the future. So its a win/win.

What do you guys do in the UK to mask? Just vent it down to the basement or something?
Not sure what they do over there but I am just venting into the room and bringing fresh air from outside with another fan. Temps are running 75-85 depending on outside temp and whether or not the ac is running. Working out so far....
