In a few weeks, I am going to switch my plant over to flower. However, I am growing in my closest, still living at home with parents who do not approve of pot. When I first started growing I did not think about how much they actually smell when flowering. I burn incense all the time which makes my room smell kind of smokey with a hint of the smell. It is just one plant, will it stink up my whole room? Also how could I mask the smell?

Any plant that's just about a foot tall will stink up your whole room late in flower.
I have a little quilt that I put over it when it gets dark, to keep the outside lights from getting to the plant. Could that help with the smell? I'm not thinking of a plant bigger than 2'. I want to keep it small. It's bagseed, but the dude said the strain was mr nice guy. I've been looking but I can't find good grow info on the strain.
You could try https://www.amazon.com/Ona-700320-Block-Polar-Crystal/dp/B000FNANC2 if the smell gets to bad. Lowes/Home Depot also have things in store that are basically the same thing.

take a shit inside of an old shoe or something and hide it in an ac vent. youll have to swap it out with fresh shit once in a while. your parents will smell shit and not know where it is coming from but they will try to mask the smell themselves with their own candles and stuff. for the next several weeks you can have them occupied with the smell of shit and they may not even notice the weed. you can also make shit water and spray it around the base boards of the entrance of your house or wherever your parents spend the majority of their time. once their sinuses get overwhelmed with the smell they will stop to notice odors.
you can also go to a fish supply or pet supply store and look for " activated carbon " its used in aquariums. You can lay it out inside of a large container and put it in your closet with a very tiny fan blowing on it. not enough to blow it around but enough to have some air from the closet atleast go over it to remove the smell. iv used it to remove smells from places before, works very well. you can also sprinkle baking soda around the closet although not as effective as the carbon.

I'm actually looking at that right now, the only thing is that I've read it makes the buds smell and tastes like perfume.

Go get a big bucket of Ona, it is industrial strength odor control. It will easily mask any smell. Any hydro shop should carry this.

If you think your growing in your closet and live at home and your parents dont know, your deluded.

You are going to get busted by your parents, and if they are dicks, you'll get arrested by the cops too.
Don't disrespect them like that. Wait until you've got your own place.

have you ever smoked pot with your parents? once everyone is on the same page, things are much better unless theres family drama.

Oh hell no!
My parents were hardcore Mormons. Mom still is; dad is deceased (buried wearing magic underwear, apron, etc).

Youre a funny dude.
I'm pretty sure a science project wouldn't be to grow cannabis lol. I think I'm going to get the ona pro and put it in my room (but not grow room) and hopefully when I open the closet door the smell would be neutralized.

Here's a novel concept....respect your parents, it's their house and if they don't approve then don't do it in their home, go get your own home and knock your socks off.
you will eventually get caught, so you better start thinking about how to deal with their disappointment and/or rage

And then they call the plumber to come and investigate their home and find the leak.
So you have even more people searching around.
My advice is to forget that Idea all together.

Gett a 4 inch fantech fan a fan speed controller and a can fan filter. And move out after the first harvest, id kick your butt if I was your parent because you are putting them at risk.

Yep. Mormons call them "temple garments". Supposedly, they will protect you from harm -- but only if it's god's will. (random)
I get that, my dad wouldn't call the cops on me. If he found my plant he would just kill it and give me long lecture about how bad pot is for you. I already started growing, I have a nice ish plant going right now. She's about 8 inches and she's about to be ready to flower soon. I'm not trying to sound rude by this, but I don't need a lecture about respecting my parents. I do respect them, but I don't want to pay so much for a few grams, I would rather have maybe an oz of some good shit that I grew myself. I'm just trying to find a way to keep the smell under control. Right now, there is no smell. But I do know they stink during flower. I'm looking for a cheap alternative to a CF.
