Hello everybody. Newb here, so far, but im enjoying these forums and this site very much! I've been hearing talk about skunky odors coming from the plants as they get bigger. Is an apartment an alright place to grow at least one plant? I've heard of things that you can add to the soil to decrease the smell but just looking for some advice. Thanks!

i had a 900sq/ft apartment on the top floor. I grew and flowered 2 plants in the spare bathroom with the ceiling vent on. the plants were in an enclosed box 1x4x4 w/ no intake/exhaust system and only flourescent lighting. I kept the bathroom door closed and never had any noticable smell other than when i opened the bathroom door and walked in

Here is half the problem with that mentality.

When you become "used" to something, the nerve receptors in your nose and brain become burned out on a particular smell and it take way much more to make that noticable odor pungent again.

For intstance, a car painter who wears a respirator most of the time may still get to smell paint or hardener chemicals in the shop all day. Eventually he will become so used to the smell of it that its not noticeable at all for the most part.

Then a customer walks back and starts getting high on all the fumes.

Follow my drift?

If you live around people that never smell it and it is pungent, someone will smell it.

Spend the money on a carbon filter setup and some fans in a grow box and call it a day.

It would leave me a piece of mind in your position.

I dont smoke weed and consequently I can smell it a mile away.
