recently the room containing the grow room was painted and there is no ventilation besides going through the painted room. its been primed and smells pretty bad.. a bud thought that it wouldnt effect them so she painted without telling me..
im pretty pissed, I think that my now flowering plants are gonna suck.. Ive worked hard on them and now for them to be stalled by a month or more, less thc production.. or worse.. die.. is killing me.

Ive ended up putting sheets over the closet but still air is flowing through... I have not turned the light off cause I dont want to ruin the flowering.. but im gonna shut it off soon so it doesnt get too hot.. will the fumes from the primer hurt the plants? I need a definate answer not some insight into how people need clean air to breath and so do plants.. will they still be able to survive if its being aired out?
what can go wrong?

thanks guys.

I painted a room (with about four layers of flat primer) and put my plants back in within a couple hours after the paint was dry to the touch. My plants didn't seem to suffer, in fact they perked up from the increased light efficiency. But I also have really good ventilation.

let the paint dry for 2 days before removing that sheet and get a box fan and put it in your door way facing in the hall or out a window
