some opinions

hey im new and m doing just a one plant grow and im gonna lst i was also wondering how bad it will smell with just one plant ?

Depends on the strain.

Filtering\Odor Control
Connecting a Carbon scrubber is a good method of controlling the odor that can be a dead giveaway to an otherwise stealthy installation. A carbon scrubber is simply an expansion chamber (box) into which the smelly air from a flower chamber is pumped. The chamber has a large exhaust vent, which is covered by an activated carbon air filter. The chamber must be big enough to provide a damping effect of the incoming air. If too small a scrubber is used, the fan will not be capable of pushing air through the filter. Here, you actually want the exhaust vent to be considerably bigger than the intake.

· There are also several DIY Odor killers available, which work to varying degrees to provide an "Odor Cover-up."
· Remember, the term "Low Odor Strain" is relative.
· Even the low odor strains generally still stink pretty badly near the end of flowering.

one plant is gonna smell like you bought an ounce and left it out of the baggie drying the part that smells uuntil then it only smells really minty.
unless you have have about eight plant just spray fabreeze near the are but dont get it near your plants.

iight thanks thats kewl =)

Hi Tokintony,

when the plant is in its final 3-5 weeks of flowering.. it will begin to smell strong... especially if it gets moved or touched... SMELL is usually very obvious!

cheers

about 1 hour before the lights go on, flowering plants will often release a strong ODOR.. I have no idea what the purpose is.. but i have witnessed it over and over.. very cool phenomenon.

kewl thank you so much and that is pretty cool how they just smell before the lights go on i wonder why thanks again lata

Odor control is a tough problem. I have tried counter-scents (bloody obvious by themselves), activated charcoal (OK, but very expensive, bulky and require periodic replacement) and ultraviolet (UV) ionisers.

The UV units, usually a UV fluoro tube and a blower fan in a tubular housing, work a treat and are cheapest in the long run despite a high initial purchase cost. Those with good familiarity with wiring a fluoro ballast might build their own out of parts and save a packet.

UV ionisers also have the upside of killing pathogens while they knock down scent. In fact, they're so good at killing scent that you should limit the amount of time you run them in a flowering area. I run mine 5 mins on twice an hour. Ionisers can reduce the scent of your end product if you don't run them on a timer!
