to keep a long story short i've been involved with pushing a lot in a 'past life' and spent a lot of time with growers... been part of growing for years but never on my own or with seeds... this is my first personal stealth grow... plans for a bigger better one soon but i had a summer to kill with this... hopefully people can take something away from it

If smell is an issue and you cannot fix it quick, i'd trash it, or your little experiment might be what gets ya.
I'd get the smell under control long before you plan on flowering. I'm just showing female parts on my big one, and as of right now the filter i made is working with moderate smell, when it gets into full swing, theres no telling how well it will work.

Try this (Build your own Odor Neutralizing Machine - Cannabis Culture Forums) i think its what im gonna use when my girls's time comes if i can find the ONA locally.
currently building a carbon fliter but anyone got experience with ONA
Day 15 Con't- Kill or Let Live?... Live for now
I threw an air fliter on the inside of the cab, heres a picture of it... it is just 2 fish active carbon bags... hope they work well enough cause it will be a bitch to change
And here is me opening the top of the cab and getting a shot of the plants, they seem to be doing super well in 12/12, they are short and really stocky
Still worried about smell and spacing
To much smell, got to rip out the LR and if i can't maintain it, rip the grow
Not enough spacing got to cut some of the plants down before i know sex

Monkee im sorry but if they stink that much that small when they get into flowering your whole house will smell.
i know thats why im trying to combat this now, i live on my own so its not a problem but i have a lot of people over and i dont want that smell everywhere
it was mainly cause the room was all sealed up and i was gone all day which is why it smelled
and the LR seems to be a lot more potent then anything else... its a good thing i started now to fight the smell rather then in flower

Yeah i would just invest in a carbon fliter.
it would make a WORLD of difference. you get what you pay for you know what i mean.
i dont see why people complaine about how much things are if they intend to grow good sensimilla. i mean you could spend a couple hundred dollars on grow lights and fans and what not....but think about how much you could make off the weed. with about 500$ of grow supplies i could Harvest easily a couple pounds. wich means i would get my money back in no time. see what i mean.
i not pointing that twords you Monkee. those people know who they are.
so ide say get a carbon filter and you worrys should go away i promise you.

im pulling air into the fliter
and i know what you mean SkunkoneSRH, i dont mean to complain ive def spent my worth on this box, more then i originally wanted, its all for fun... i have the tools for a big grow but this is my summer project
the carbon fliter stopped the smell... but it increased the temperatures we shall see tomorrow how this goes

haha its no problem Monkee. like i said it was not intended for you.
thiers not a thing wrong with your setup. actually its inspired me to do the same. im always up for somthing new. if it made it hotter in thier. you might wana get a bigger exhaust inlet. and outlet. the more air you get flowing threw thier the cooler it stays.

i have a cfm 80 fan as output that should be more then enough but with the fliter it really causes it to get hot in there cause not enough air moves... ill fuck around with it tomorrow when i get some time
theres always going to be a temperature vs. smell with a case like this, and truthfully as long as its under 100 degrees i will continue to try to grow

bro, if you arn't money restricted...you may want to(and this is just some guys random assertion) get a compact 150 watt HPS setup ohhh...like this one! High Tech Garden Supply that one would make your plants grow like crazy compared to the shitloads of CFLs you have...and it's really small so like you could easily cut a hole in the top of your box and stick it on top...maybe put a walmart fan blowing on it or something...i could be wrong, though...everyone has their own preferences

i know but it comes down to the fact that if i can't control the smell with what i got i really dont have a choice

the lights have not been a problem with this grow, i've used HPS but the point of this was to use cfl's... in the future im going to use a mix of both kinds
