Wife is pissed... last grow wreaked the whole house of some dank.

Wifes solution - quit growing

My solution - seal er up and grow more.

I'm growing in a room i built in the basement ~7'x10' and want to have a spray foam company come in and spray the walls and ceiling. I caulked the bottom perimeter and painted redguard about 5'' on the floors and all the way up the drywall and studs on the inside of the room... why so much idk maybe it'll help maybe it won't but it can't hurt.

Anyways, my question before i spend 2k on this. Has anyone done this and if so did it cut down a lot if not all the smell? I am currently ventilating directly outside through a dryer vent in the wall with aci filter (not too worried about the outside smell) and also running a 4'' aci filter in the room to scrub the air.

They would use a closed cell spray foam.

After the spray foam I plan on encasing the room with panda film as air tight as possible as well.. It probably won't be perfect as this is what i did and it stunk in the home but helps with lighting and also maybe an extra layer of protection on smell?

Also, recommendation are more than welcome!

It's got to help. It's used in new construction a lot now as it;s a good vapor barrier and to stop air infiltration. Do you think some odors could be leaking out when opening and closing your door? Maybe have two doors and create a rudimentary airlock between.
