So, for the first time in my life I live completely alone, and I decided I may as well grow something. My only issue is with how to get proper ventilation through my grow space.
The space I have is a 20 sq foot closet that is roughly 10 feet high. I only plan on having maybe 4 plants growing in there, but I am worried about the smell and properly ventilating the area. It is a one bedroom apt, the only ac unit is in a different room, and the heat is a steam system, so there are no vents. The closet is in my bedroom and is a few feet away from a window, but I can't keep the window open in the winter, and it is on the first floor, so if there is a pungent aroma, anyone walking by the window could catch wind of it.
I guess the question is, if I keep the closet door closed, would the one inch crack at the bottom of the door be sufficient for proper air circulation. Also, would the smell from a few plants be strong enough that it would eminate into the hallway, which is through the living room like 25 feet away. And if I need a smell reduction system of some sort, what would you guys reccomend for a small scale operation like this.
