what bout if you live in a house? can the neighbor smell it? the distance from the wall to my neighbor wall is estimate 25 feet away

My current setup is in a closet that is not airtight at all. My initial focus was getting maximum light coverage as well as controlling heat and humidity. Once flowering hit, so did skunk city.

I bought a tall cabinet from Home Depot and I'm working on getting that airtight, as well as incorporating a carbon filtered exhaust, as well as in unit odor neutralizing... the problem is that this plant is too big for the cabinet right now. Future plants will be trained low and under chicken wire... but for now I have a stinky beast in my closet.

My future roommate swears she smells 'plant' when she comes in, even though the coffee smell is crazy thick... so me being exposed to it 24/7 is probably hurting my ability to tell how bad it is.

I have 5 - 6 more weeks of the current grow... after that I'll be in my new cab... and when my lease is up in June we plan on finding a place where I can be more secure in growing (multiple doors, further 'back' in the building, 2nd floor of a condo, etc...).

The next thing I'm going to try is the Ona bucket idea from the odor control thread... I'm just sick of competing odors... citrus, ozone-y burn, coffee, chalk, etc... and STILL skunk under it all.

Thanks for the input!

You can try draping plastic around the plant like a mack-shift grow tent. Then put a stand alone activated carbon filter by the grow. It won't be air tight but it will collect the majority of the smell and doesn't require venting.

I have a monster 5' plant in a 6' tall cabinet rightnow. The cabnet is mostly air tight other then a few deliberate holes at the bottom to draw fresh air in. The cabinet has a 50cfm bathroom vent fan and a carbon scrubber. The do nothing other then venting hot skunky air lol.

I just ordered a gallon of fresh linen ona gel for $49 shipped. Id recomend doing the same... and trust me ionizors do little more then combine ozone and skunk in a very conspicous way lol.

its all about piece of mind if it really bothers you then of course you have to do something about it
