Hi, i am new to growing and need some help. I have a 6x12x8ft walkin closet that i want to grow some plants in. My whole setup is the stealth hydro bubblepontics kit (holds 6 plants), a 2ft 4 tube T5 growing light, and i also got a hurricane 6" 435CFM inline fan with a phresh 400CFM carbon filter. Im going to be using seeds i have collected from sour diesel that i had recently. My question is...is this enough to cover up the smell? im going to be growing in my apartment and im worried that its going to smell, i cant have that!! could anyone help me please? thank you very much
I would not worry about the smell at this point considering that the seeds your going to be using are prolly going to yield pretty lame plants considering that they are just something you plucked from a plant that's already not of good genetics since it had seeds itself.
it sounds like your on top of it with the carbon filter fella, although you need to get your self some quality seeds or cuttings, dont use seeds u have found in ur weed
Yeah I got to thinking about that...So I'm going to order some femanized seeds instead. My buddy was telling me it's a waste of time and money tryin to grow without the fem seeds. So I just gotta hope the filter is enough to cover the smell completely. My appartment complex doesn't allow drugs so if they smell it it'll be trouble
And it's not a bad strain I got seeds from. The guy that was growin it accidentally let a male sneak in. So it was very seedy
I'm not denying the quality of the bud it's just that the seeds are coming from a hermaphrodite plant. I've heard seeds from a hermaphrodite have a chance of turning into females but I've also heard they have a better chance of ending up hermaphrodites themselves. I'm not positive. I'm still new to the grow scene.
then your buddy is wrong. Feminized seeds are not a guarantee of quality plants and not a guarantee of a female either. Genetics is the key. A good quality heritage will give you a good plant, even if you pull your seeds from your weed. Feminized seed is just a marketing ploy. As long as you can ID a female plant when they arrive, that's all you have to do. Then remove the males and keep growing the females and keep a quality mother.
Ok - about the quality of seeds, and growing, etc... I may have just been lucky, but what I grew last yr came ONLY from seeds out of really good weed I had bought...and that smoke was Freakin' Awesome! Regarding the odor...if you keep that closet closed, I don't think you'll really have anything to worry about. But that is jmo. I hate to sound all "motherly" (lol), but since this is in an apartment your main legitimate worry would be "friends" that you may tell. I'd say PLEASE don't tell a soul, and you probably won't have anything to worry about. :2thumbsup:
Ya I'm not telling anyone haha. Only person that will know is my girlfriend who is living with me. I'm not even going to allow anyone at my place. But the closet will also be used for our clothes. But other than that ya it will be closed. I was just worrying about the smell because they are a drug free place and I didn't want any problems. But I suppose if needed I can always go get another filter. But regarding the seeds...I have found seeds from like 5 different strains. So do you think I would be ok to just use those and still get a quality grow? They are all from different types of dank
five different plants in one room, is a headache waiting to happen. some will be tall the other stubby, some leafy, the others stringy. Find a seedy bag of weed and plant all the same. I myself like the challenge of multi grows though..
worth a pop if you trust thats what happened. don't bother with multi strains especially in a hydro system.
ya i was going to stick with the one strain till i learned what i was doing completely. i dont want to waste my other seeds. i got 2 ozs of sour diesel and found 8 grams of seeds...so ive got plenty of those to waste
Ozone machines work for severe smells. They are what fire departments use to get rid of the smell from house fires. In excess it is said to be harmful to humans, so you have to use them sparingly. Ive used them, and would only run it when people were coming over. Ive seen them used with timers to run ten min every few hours.
that's over a 1/4 in an oz i.d be spitting blood. with ozone you would normally use something like an in line chamber to mix the ozone with the exhaust. its also a short lived gas so a chamber is good for more then one reason.
Oh ya I was pissed. I hit him up and he told me "that's why the price is what it is." he'd been charging me the same price since I started going thru him. 300 an oz. Needless to say I'm not calling him again. I'm going to my out of town connect from now on haha.
